Explains how to create a master résumé and adapt it for opportunities, alongside research steps to evaluate fit. Provides a structured rubric for résumé improvement, covering self-review format and content, including education, experience, appearance, grammar, and achievement-focused descriptions with quantified impact.","RÉSUMÉ AND COVER LETTER GUIDE  \nGETTING STARTED  \nYour application, which typically includes a résumé and cover letter, is a first step in securing an internship or job. It tells your story with context and impact. It is easy to list all the experiences you have had and the details of what you’ve done, but that will generally not get you noticed. Tell your story so that you reveal the skills you have developed, as opposed to having them only linked to a particular company, organization, or situation.  \nYou may draft your résumé before you have identified an internship or job description that suits your interests, but you must target your cover letter for a specific opportunity. To begin, make a “master résumé” that includes all of your experiences. Then pull from it to create various targeted résumés.  \nBefore you start to apply for specific opportunities, research and learn as much as you can about the position, employer, and industry. Think about how to present yourself in a way that will show how you will fit in. Then evaluate your fit based on your interests, skills, and experiences and how they align with the opportunity. Have you told your story using the same words that the employer uses to describe itself? You should demonstrate that you have transferable skills that are relevant to an employer.  \nRUBRIC FOR RÉSUMÉ IMPROVEMENT  \nSELF-REVIEW CCI REVIEW FORMAT  \n  Name and contact information: Name is prominent;  \nincludes address where you can be reached through your search, telephone number, and email address.  \n  Education section: Each institution is listed in reverse  \nchronological order and includes institution name, location, and relevant date(s); degree is spelled out (Bachelor of Arts); major and minor (if declared) and graduation month/year are indicated (e.g., May 2018); GPA is accurate and formatted correctly using two decimal places (e.g., 3.45 ; major GPA may be included) .  \n  Experience section(s): Organizations/companies are  \nlisted in reverse chronological order and include name of organization, location, position title, and relevant dates.  \n  Appearance: Fill one page without overcrowding; use  \nconsistent formatting (sections, paragraphs, lines, and words are spaced correctly); use appropriate font style (e.g., Garamond, Calibri, etc . ) and font size (10–12 point), and formatting (indentation, bold, italic, caps, symbols); margins are at least a half inch and no more than one inch.  \n  Grammar, spelling, and punctuation: Error free; verbs are  \nactive, in first person, and in the correct tense; personal pronouns and extraneous words are omitted; all words are familiar to most people and spelled correctly; use of punctuation is consistent; only proper nouns are capitalized.  \nSELF-REVIEW CCI REVIEW CONTENT  \n  Target: Résumé is targeted for desired position, field,  \nand/or industry; include specific examples to emphasize transferable skills and knowledge; relevance of study abroad experience is explicit; relevant course work is listed; section labels reflect content and content substantiates headings; résumé “tells a story.”  \n  Descriptive statements: Begin with strong action  \nverbs that are not repetitive or passive; avoid “duties included” or “responsible for”; include concrete examples and numbers whenever possible; descriptions are direct, concise, and indicate one’s impact; describe accomplishments (not duties), quantify results (time, percent change, etc . ) and list in order of importance to the reader; omit irrelevant and/or outdated information; do not exaggerate details.  \nTHE RÉSUMÉ  \nA recent study conducted by the Ladders career website indicated that employers spend as few as six seconds scanning a résumé before forming an impression of a candidate.
