Why is a Resume Important?
Your resume is really your 'first impression' and just like any real, one-on-one interview, it's important that your resume conveys the right “image” of your experiences.
What is important on your RESUME?
A resume is a brief summary of your abilities, education, experience, and skills. Its main task is to convince prospective employers to contact you. A resume has one purpose: to get you a job interview.
Steps To Creating A Resume
THE HEADING
This section will always appear at the top of your page regardless of which format you choose. It contains your name, address, phone number and email address.
EDUCATION
The information that goes in this section is presented in chronological order, meaning the most recent school you attended is listed first. Coursework and course projects can enhance this section but is optional.
EXPERIENCEThis is the most important section of your resume. Sell yourself! List your accomplishments, skills and abilities in a way that creates interest on the part of the employer. Give them a reason to want to meet you face to face.
EXPERIENCEcont.
*Use action verbs to help your job responsibilities stand out! (i.e. managed, planned, contacted, organized, ect.) Your resume should be no more than 1 page.
Volunteer work is fine to list here if you do not have any - or much – paid employment.
OTHER SECTIONS
There are other sections that can be added to a resume including, awards/honors, activities, certifications (as long as they relate to the position being sought) skills, languages, etc.
