While there are some basic guidelines to follow (such as always using spell check!), creating a resume is a personal process. We encourage you to take a comprehensive approach, showcasing your unique experiences and aligning them with the roles you seek. Think of your resume as a marketing tool that highlights how you, as the product, can meet the needs of your potential employer. This guide is designed to assist both beginners and experienced candidates. Follow the basic principles and incorporate advanced elements as needed. Lastly, resumes are ever evolving and will change as you go throughout your college and career journey!  \n4 BASIC PRINCIPLES OF RESUME WRITING:  \n1. Your resume’s job is to get you an interview.  \n• Look at job descriptions carefully. If certain keywords, skills, or traits keep popping up, check that they are reflected in your resume in your own words. In today’s world of hiring, Applicant Tracking Software (ATS) is used to sort resumes-those that use the correct keywords from those that don’t.  \n• Experience comes not only from internships and jobs but from campus activities, class projects and  \nvolunteer work as well. There is value – what employers call transferable skills – in all you do as a Moravian student.  \n• Readers only know what you tell them. Include concise yet detailed Action-Oriented Accomplishment Statements to pique a reader’s interest.  \n• Demonstrate skills through your bullet points.  \n• Think ahead to the interview. Make sure the content you’d talk about is well-represented in your resume. During interviews, hiring managers and graduate school recruiters will have your resume on hand and often craft questions from what they read on your resume.  \n2. The document should be written with the reader in mind.  \n• Consider the context for which you’re using your resume and adjust content, headers and details to match the specific job/internship posting, scholarship application, or networking opportunity.  \n• Note differences in style, tone, keywords and content across industries and around the globe.  \n• Distinguish yourself from other Moravian students by detailing your individual role and unique impact, especially when several students may have the same experience (e.g., RA, Elevate Experience, Student Athlete) .  \n• Do not include pe","cbCaigNwWu3jJDts","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigNwWu3jJDts","pdf",13604932,1,52,"English","en",105,"# Resume and Cover Letter Guidebook\n## Resume Checklist\n## Resume Do’s & Dont’s\n## Formatting Your Resume\n## Helpful Headers to Organize Your Resume\n## Skills and Job Description Interpretation\n## Applicant Tracking Systems\n## Using AI in Career Planning\n## Sample Resumes by Student Profile\n## Cover Letters\n## Cover Letter Anatomy and Samples\n## References\n## Ethics in the Job Search\n## Following Up and Acknowledging Offers\n## Thank You and Acceptance/Decline Letters","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of a resume, and how should it align with job descriptions?\",\"answer\":\"A resume’s primary goal is to get an interview.
