Submitting a resume and cover letter to an employer does not guarantee that an applicant will be scheduled for an interview but if it is strategically constructed it increases the possibility of moving forward in the hiring process.  \nPreparing to Start Your Resume  \nComplete a self-assessment. Before jumping into the construction of your resume take a few minutes to complete a self-assessment and reflect on your experiences, achievements, and skills. Take a blank sheet of paper and write down all of your previous work experience, education, volunteer experience, community projects, skills, interests, affiliations, and anyother important information that highlights your current skill set and ability. Relevant experiences, skills, and achievements will be taken from this list to construct your resume.  \nBecome familiar with the organization you are applying to. After locating a position that you plan to apply for and before you begin to build your resume, familiarize yourself with the organization. Visit their website and learn more about their mission, the population they serve, and the programs they offer. This process serves two purposes: to ensure the organization is a good fit and to highlight the experiences and skills that are needed to effectively fill the open position that are not included in the employment announcement.  \nKeep everything connected and relevant. Your resume should be constructed with an end goal in mind. All large and small details should be connected and relevant to the current situation and your field. Highlight the responsibilities and activities that are most closely connected to the roles and responsibilities of the desired position. This technique is referred to as the Golden Thread Technique when all elements of a resume are connected through relevance.  \nStarting Your Resume  \nIdentify all relevant experiences from your self-assessment. Review the employment announcement for your desired position. Then review your self-assessment to identify all of the experiences, skills, and attributes that are connected and relevant to the desired position.  \n4  \nBuilding a Social Work Resume (continued)  \nChoose appropriate headings. Select the headings that best highlight the relevant experiences, skills, and attributes you identified in the previous step. Then, begin your resume with the heading that is the strongest. It is common for a recent graduate to begin their resume with the “Education” heading because they can then highlight the acquisition of their degree. Resumes include but are not limited to the following sections: Cont","cbCaieoBDZ0UpizN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieoBDZ0UpizN","pdf",1304232,7,"English","# Table of Contents\n## Letter to the Graduate\n## Building a Social Work Resume\n## Action Verb List\n## Building a Social Work Cover Letter\n## Employment Search Engines\n## Licensure Steps and Preparation","[{\"question\":\"How should graduates prepare before writing a social work resume?\",\"answer\":\"Complete a self-assessment by listing work, education, volunteer experience, community projects, skills, interests, affiliations, and other relevant information.
