We encourage you to take a holistic approach to creating your resume, considering your unique set of experiences in relation to the types of roles to which you aspire. In other words, think of your resume as a marketing tool that demonstrates how a product (you) meets the needs of a potential customer (employer) .  \nThis Resume Guide is designed for both the novice resume writer and the more seasoned candidate. Follow the basic principles, adding in advanced components when appropriate.  \n\n| If you are... | Start with the... | On Page... |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| New to resume writing | Introductory Resume Worksheet | 3 |\n| Adding new items and trying to cut old ones | Advanced Resume Worksheet | 4 |\n| Shifting career directions | Crafting Your\u003Cbr>Descriptions | 5 |\n\n Basic Principles of Resume Writing   \n1  \nYour 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.  \n• Experience comes not only from internships and jobs but from campus activities, class projects and volunteer work as well. There is value – what employers call transferable skills – in all you do as a Princeton 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 in addition to listing them in a “Skills” section.  \n• Think ahead to the interview. Make sure the content you’d talk about is well-represented in your resume.  \n3  \nYour resume should be easy to scan and digest in 15-30 seconds.  \n• Use bullet points instead of paragraphs. Avoid pronouns (I, we) and minimize the use of articles (a, an, the) .  \n• Use CAPS, bold fonts, and line spacing to distinguish between sections.  \n• Set the margins between 0.75” and 1”(ideal) and no less than 0.5”.  \n• Use consistent font styles and sizes (10-12pt) throughout the document.  \n• Save space by leaving off your mailing address. Your phone number and email suffice.  \n• List content in reverse chronological order in each section of your resume.  \n2  \nThe 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, career fair/ Meetup or other opportunity.  \n• Note differences in style, tone, keywords and content across industries and around the globe.  \n• Distinguish yourself from other Princeton students by detailing your individual role and unique impact, especially when several students may have the same experience (e.g., RCA, McGraw Center Tutor) .  \n• Do not include personal information like age, Social Security number, marital status, religion or parents’ occupations.  \n• Do you need a CV or resume? In the U.S., a CV is used primarily for admission to – or roles in – academia. It is a typeof resume with an in-depth focus on research, presentations, academic awards, and/or publications.  \n• Typically resumes should be one page. However, for graduate school, fellowship, and non-corporate applications, it is acceptable to extend to two pages with a significant amount of aligned experience.  \n4  \nAs long as you are aspiring to professional advancement, your resume is a work in progress.  \n• Know that resume writing can be complex and take several tries to master.  \n• Save PDF and .txt versions of your resume. Keep prior versions of your resume for reference.  \n• Do not fear changing directions. You can reposition any experience by focusing on Transferable Skills.  \n• Ask for feedback from a Peer Career Adviser or schedule an  appointment with a career adviser in Handshake.
