For more details see your campus office for résumé writing workshops, or make an appointment with Career Services.  \nWhat is a résumé?  \nA résumé is a marketing tool, an advertisement for you and what you can offer a company. Make sure that your résumé represents you and links your skills, interests and abilities to the job for which you are applying.  \nPurpose  \nAre you looking for a job or an internship? Are you interested in one specific area or do you want to be more general? Is there a specific job that you are applying for?  \nMarket  \nBe sure to highlight all of your skills, abilities and education that you feel will market you best. Employers are frequently looking for transferrable skills because they can be applied to any job no matter where you learned them. Please see the sample résumés for ideas.  \nLanguage  \nCheck, double check and triple check your résumé for any spelling, punctuation or grammatical errors. Also make sure that you use the proper tenses to correlate with time periods.  \nOrganization  \nWhile the sample résumés will give you some ideas as to how to arrange a résumé, feel free to organize it however you feel represents you best. Keep in mind that you should keep the most important information on the top half of the page to draw the reader in.  \nLength  \nIn most cases, résumés should be one page in length. Professionals with more extensive experience may need two pages. Be consistent, select one font with the size being no less than 10 points and no larger than 12 points. References are not on your résumé, but included on a separate sheet – be sure your name and contact information (just as it appears on your résumé) is on the reference page as well.  \nDetails  \nThe email address on the résumé must be one you plan to check regularly, and should be generic or professional. Select a telephone number where you are reachable. Never use a current work number on your résumé . Your name should appear as it does on legal documents. Include Academic Awards/Honors and a GPA of 3.0 or higher. When listing work experience, it should be in reverse chronological order (most recent first) . Do not use pronouns or write in full sentences, except if including an objective or summary statement.  \nCover letter  \nThe cover letter generally accompanies a résumé and is an “invitation” to read the résumé that accompanies it. A well written cover letter assures that your background, knowledge and skills meet the needs of the employer, based on the job description.  \nSAMPLE ACTION VERBS FOR YOUR RÉSUMÉ  \nCommunication/People Skills  \nAddressed  \nAdvertised Authored Clarified Consulted  \nConvinced  \nCorresponded Debated  \nDefined Directed  \nDiscussed Edited Elicited  \nEnlisted Explained  \nExpressed Formulated Incorporated  \nInfluenced  \nInteracted  \nInterpreted  \nInterviewed Listened Presented  \nPromoted  \nProposed Publicized Reconciled  \nReported Suggested  \nSummarized Translated Wro","cbCaipY5I4gCfwZG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipY5I4gCfwZG","pdf",968929,22,"English","# Developing Your Résumé\n## Sample Action Verbs\n## Sample Résumés\n## Reference Page Example\n## Résumé Tips for Transitioning from Military to Civilian Careers\n## Military to Civilian Résumé Sample\n## Writing a Cover Letter\n## Sample Cover Letters\n## Interview Preparations/Tips\n## Sample Interview Questions\n## Thank You Email\n## Professional Networking Sites","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of a résumé when applying for jobs or internships?\",\"answer\":\"A résumé is a marketing tool that advertises what you can offer a company.
