Here you will find resources to help you create the tools and skills needed to geta job including creating a resume , writing a cover letter, networking and interviewing.  \n2. How to build a resume  \nAs an applicant, you must tailor your resume to the job that you are applying for. What does this mean? It means that you can’t take your resume that you used to apply for the outreach assistant position at a nonprofit and use it to apply for a sales job at an outdoor gear company or as a guide for an outfitter. You can certainly use pieces from your old resume and use it as a menu to select information from, but you still have work ahead of you to make sure that your resume best matches the job you are applying for. The number one purpose of your resume is to get you an interview!  \nStep 1: Create Your Resume  \nList all of your past jobs, education, classes, and volunteer positionson a piece of paper. Then, under each past experience, list all of the projects or responsibilities you had. For each project/responsibility, list the role you played, the budget, partners, challenges you faced and accomplishments made. Use power words…strong active verbs that really describe your work.  \nTo help you, look through old files, talk to current and former coworkers, and collect documents that may remind you of the variety of work you have done. Review all these items and make sure they are reflected on your resume.  \nNext, you will want to match your skills and achievements to those listed in job descriptions you are interested in.  \nStep 2: Format Your Resume  \nWe suggest creating your resume in a word processing program so that you can use the spell-check and other functionality of the program as well as save your work for future applications. You will probably find yourself reformatting your resume depending on the job you are applying for to make sure the most relevant information is at the top. Always save each version of your resume that you create.  \nIn general resumes include the following:  \n􀁸 Name & Address / Contact Info  \n􀁸 Summary: Compelling reason why you are the right candidate for the job and should be hired.  \n􀁸 Qualifications / Accomplishments  \n􀁸 Job History / Experience  \n􀁸 Education  \n􀁸 Awards (optional)  \n􀁸 Interests / Hobbies (optional)  \n􀁸 ","cbCaid791VbxtKog","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid791VbxtKog","pdf",1510899,8,13,"English","# Introduction\n# How to build a resume\n## Step 1: Create Your Resume\n## Step 2: Format Your Resume\n# The cover letter\n# Interviewing techniques and tips\n# Follow up\n# Networking and relationship building\n# Appendix\n## Appendix A: Sample combined resume\n## Appendix B: Sample cover letter\n## Appendix C: Sample Letter Requesting an Informational Interview\n## Appendix D: Sample Thank-You Letter for an Informational Interview\n## Appendix E: Sample Resume switching for-profit to nonprofit career","[{\"question\":\"How should you tailor your resume for an outdoor job application?\",\"answer\":\"Create a resume that matches the specific role you are applying for by selecting the most relevant information and aligning skills and achievements with the job description.
