TIPS AND FAQ'S

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.

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

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

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