Format and target your resume(s) to market your best qualifications for specific jobs. Lead with your STRENGTHS and SKILLS. Include the education, experience and skills that will be of greatest interest to the employer at the forefront of the resume and make those areas the most detailed and prominent. From the top down, list the best of what you have accomplished based on where you are going. Make it easy for an employer to see that you are a qualified candidate who should be invited in for an interview. Resumes must be typographically and grammatically perfect, honest and verifiable, targeted and results oriented. PROOFREAD! Spell check does not catch proper names, homophones, or homonyms. Some employers scan resumes to determine qualifications. Include industry or occupation specific KEYWORDS as they relate to your skills and experience.  \nSpend the appropriate amount oftime on your resume. It can take time to pull together all of this information and organize it in an appropriate manner. Be sure you know your audience. Consider the employer, department, and position when writing your resume. You may want to create an “everything resume”which includes a record of everything you have done. Then when you write a one-page document for a specific opportunity, you can pull from your most pertinent experiences for the current opportunity you are targeting.  \nFORMATTING GUIDELINES:  \n● Most undergraduate resumes should be one page long. You can change the margins and font size to accommodate your information.  \n● Use appropriate white space on the page – you can leave blank lines in between headings or job listings – this can make your resume easier to read.  \n● Fonts should be from 10-12 point, except your name, which can be larger.  \n● Do not use smaller than ½” margins or larger than 1” all the way around the page.  \n● Do not use a template when writing your resume. Recruiters see so many of these – make your resume unique. Use only black fonts.  \nTriple check your spelling and grammar. A simple mistake or typographical error may negatively influence your ability to get an interview. Get several opinions on your resume. Each person who reviews your resume will have a different opinion. Take all of the information you receive and decide what pieces of advice work best for your situation. This is your document.  \nRESUME CATEGORIES:  \nHEADER:  \n● Name – you might want to use bold, all capital letters, or a different font to make this standout – you may not want to use nicknames here  \n● Street Address, City, State ZIP – you may want to include both a local and permanent address  \n● Telephone Number – use the one you want employers to call – consider who will answer the phone and whether or not you will get a reliable message – also be sure that your voicemail message is professional  \n● Email – use your JHU account or a professional sounding account – avoid email addresses that give away something personal about you  \n● Website – could be useful if you have an online portfolio or something similar; again, make sure it’s professional  \nOBJECTIVE:  \n● Optional Category  \n● If you include an objective, make sure it is an effective, specific statement. If you choose not to include an objective, make sure that your cover letter is compelling.  \n● One or two concise, easy-to-read statements focusing on the type of position you are seeking, the skills you want to use, and/or the tasks in which you want to become involved.  \n● AVOID clichés or jargon, such as,“To contribute to the profitability of an employer” or “A challenging position offering opportunity for growth and advancement.”  \nSUMMARY:  \n● Optional Category  \n● A brief summary of your key skills, research, and years of experience  \n● List computer, technical, or language skills if applicable  \n● Include a career goal statement here if appropriate  \n● A go","cbCaigK0GO1LejQ3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigK0GO1LejQ3","pdf",372856,18,"English","# Resume Purpose and Strategy\n# Formatting and Quality Checks\n# Resume Organization by Sections\n## Header\n## Objective and Summary\n## Education\n## Experience","[{\"question\":\"How should a resume be targeted to different jobs?\",\"answer\":\"Format and target your resume(s) to market your best qualifications for specific jobs.
