Ultimately, you have one page to convince someone of your credentials. But resumes aren’t just summaries. A strategic resume is tailored to the employer and proves you match with the position and its requirements.  \nList any colleges or universities you have earned or will earn degrees from. Only freshmen should include high school. Everyone else should include undergrad and grad schools.  \nGenerally, you should divide your experience into “relevant experience,” listing all school and professional experience that is relevant to the position, and “additional experience,” if you want to add experience that is not directly related to the position. You can also just write “experience”if you do not have a lot of relevant experience. All experience should be listed in reverse chronological order based on when the position ended. If you are still in the position, you must use present tense and it must be listed first in the section; additionally the end date should be listed as “present.” Internships, BUTV, Daily Free Press, AdLab, and PRLab are all great examples of experience to include on your resume. Include only the positions and experience that will prove your qualifications and strengthen your application.  \nWrite bullet points using strong action verbs in the active voice (see page 4 for a list of active verbs). Think of the context, the task involved, the action taken, and the result. Each bullet should include the impact of your work. An easy way to organize bullet-points is to think of the acronym CAR: context, action, result.  \nResults can include things such as awards, contributing to the efficiency or goal of the organization, and accomplishments beyond numbers and sales goals (numbers do not hurt to include if you have them!) If you can, include the action you took to achieve those results. For instance, sent daily updates through Instagram to achieve “effective social media marketing.”  \nDo not understate your accomplishments or responsibilities. Think of their purpose: what function did they serve and how did it further the company’s goals? How many moving parts was I responsible for? Every job has many responsibilities that contribute to the company’s mission in some way, even if it is just maintaining a clean work environment (which is very important!) .  \nFAQs:  \nQ: What is a resume as opposed to a CV?  \nA: Internationally, the term CV and Resume are used interchangeably. In the US, a resume is a short one page list of relevant experience, while the “CV” often refers to a long document listing your research and or teaching experience. Unless you are applying for a Ph.D. or a research position, employers usually expect you to send a US resume, even if they call it a CV.  \nQ: How do I list jobs or positions at the same organization?  \nA: See freshman resume sample.  \nQ: Do I need to list schools I transferred from?  \nA: Only if you think it will benefit you, for instance, if you had a very high GPA or a lot of relevant coursework.  \nResume Template  \nFirstname Lastname  \n(123) [888-8888 | Email@gmail.com| linkedin.com/in/firstnamelastname | YourOnlinePortfolioOrWebsite.com](888-8888 | Email@gmail.com| linkedin.com/in/firstnamelastname | YourOnlinePortfolioOrWebsite.com)  \nEducation  \n\n| Boston University College of Communication Boston, MA\u003Cbr>Degree Name (Example: Master of Science in Advertising) May 2025\u003Cbr>Relevant Coursework: (2-5 relevant courses that demonstrate a skill needed for the job)\u003Cbr>Activities: (If you are involved with any student organizations that are relevant to the job)\u003Cbr>Honors: (If applicable)\u003Cbr>Study Abroad: (If applicable and only if you want to include it)\u003Cbr>Undergrad School Name (If Graduate Student) City, State/ Country Degree Name (Example: Bachelor of Science in Journalism) May 2021 Relevant Coursework:\u003Cbr>Activities: (If you are involved with any student organizations that are relevant to the ","cbCaikyhNvdksIWG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikyhNvdksIWG","pdf",1040343,8,"English","# Resume\n## What a Resume Is and Why It Matters\n## Education and Experience Sections\n## Bullet Points: Action Verbs and CAR\n## Results and Responsibility Descriptions\n## Resume Template and Layout\n## Resume Checklist\n## FAQs","[{\"question\":\"What is a resume and how is it different from a CV?\",\"answer\":\"A resume is a selective summary focused on skills and relevant experience for a position, typically one page.
