The Resume

Some employers will request a resume instead of a job application. This is a one page written picture of what you know and where you have worked.

1. Name, address, phone number, email (list an email address only if you use one regularly)
2. Your objective what you are looking for and why
3. Your skills
4. Your education
5. Your work history include internships and volunteer experiences, too
6. Your extracurricular activities.

Not all resumes will look alike. It is important to lead with your strengths!

1. If you have skills, start with that.
2. If you have education, start there
3. If you have a good work history, start there and list it chronologically
