In the job search, its purpose is to get you an interview. You may also use your resume to apply to educational programs such as PhD programs, fellowships, etc. This guide will help you create a resume that clearly and concisely articulates information about your skills, experiences, and accomplishments.  \nA resume is made up of sections that help employers/organizations learn about a candidate; some sections are essential, while others are considered optional. Through the resume writing process, you will receive feedback from other people and ideas from sample resumes, but you must decide what best communicates the most important information about you.  \nExamples have been included in this step-by-step guide to emphasize basic resume structure and to guide the development of your resume. Resume templates are located at the end of this guide.  \nTable of Contents  \n• Basics Concepts-Page 2  \no Formatting  \no Writing Bullet Points  \n• Sections of a Resume-Pages 3-8  \no Contact Information  \no Education  \no Coursework  \no Experience  \no Projects  \no Skills  \no Activities  \no Honors  \no Publications  \no Conferences  \no Objective  \n• Strong Verbs List – Page 9  \n• Resume Self-Review – Page 10  \n• RESUME TEMPLATES: Sample Master’s and PhD Templates – Pages 11-17  \no Page 11– Master’s Student Template: Research Experience and Academic Projects  \no Page 12 – Master’s Student Template: Work Experience and Academic Projects  \no Page 13 – Master’s Student Template: Research Projects and Academic Projects  \no Pages 14-15 – PhD Student Template: With Work Experience  \no Pages 16-17 – PhD Student Template: Without Work Experience  \nBASIC CONCEPTS  \nThe below reviews basic resume concepts related to formatting and writing bullet points.  \nFormatting  \nFont: Use one, easy to read font for the entire resume, preferably a Sans Serif font. Font size should be 10-12 and consistent throughout the body of the resume, your name may be larger. Use formatting, such as bold, underline and italics for emphasis.  \nMargins: Margins should be no smaller than 0.5 inches and no larger than 1 inch and should be consistent/uniform throughout the document.  \nDates: Dates should be written as Month Year (May 2025; Sept. 2023 – May 2024) . Abbreviating months is acceptable when done consistently. Avoid dates written with numerals only (1/2/2024) .  \nLocations: Include City, State when describing locations within the United Sates. Spell out the city and abbreviate state with capital letters (Pittsburgh, PA) . If including a location outside of the United States, include City, Country (Beijing, China) . If the work was completed remotely or virtually, you can list the office’s location with the word remote (Pittsburgh, PA | Remote) .  \nLength: Master’s Students with less than 10 years of professional experience should have a one-page resume. PhD students may have a one or two-page resume for an industry search and a one-page resume for consulting.  \nContent  \nOrder and Organization: Headings/sections should be listed in order of importance/relevance. Within each section, experiences should be listed in reverse chronological order (i.e. most recent to least recent) .  \nDetails: Avoid jargon that isn’t universal to your field. Simple, common language is best when possible. Avoid abbreviating names of organizations, titles and descriptors.  \nAccuracy: Ensure experience and qualifications are accurately represented.  \nEnsure ATS readability: Avoid tables, text boxes, images, etc. A one column resume is ideal. Do not place content in the header or footer.  \nBullet Points  \nEmployers assess a resume to determine if the candidate has the appropriate skills and experience for their organization/position. List your key achievements and add details which show your demonstrated results","cbCaibpLQl8ysSna","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibpLQl8ysSna","pdf",1441558,"English","# Basics Concepts\n## Formatting\n## Writing Bullet Points\n# Sections of a Resume\n## Contact Information\n## Education\n## Coursework\n## Experience\n## Projects\n## Skills\n## Activities\n## Honors\n## Publications\n## Conferences\n## Objective\n# Strong Verbs List\n# Resume Self-Review\n# RESUME TEMPLATES: Sample Master’s and PhD Templates","[{\"question\":\"What sections are required in a graduate student resume?\",\"answer\":\"The guide lists required sections as Contact Information, Education, and Skills, with additional required sections depending on the student’s background (e.g., Experience and Projects for many cases).\"},{\"question\":\"What formatting rules improve readability and ATS compatibility?\",\"answer\":\"Use a single easy-to-read font (preferably sans serif) at a consistent size, keep margins within 0.5–1 inch, write dates as Month Year, avoid tables/text boxes/images, and place content in a simple single-column layout without header or footer placement.\"}]","Graduate Student Resume Guide - 24 | PDF",1789091785,6]
