However, creating a resume that results in an interview is not always easy. Jobseekers, unsure of what employers wanted to see in a professional resume, would ask employment counselors for guidance. Often, that guidance would vary from person to person. Frustrated, jobseekers would have little idea how to write a resume that would get them an interview.  \nThe WorkSource Pierce Business Services Team approached local employers for their perspectives on what a resume needs to get a jobseeker noticed by employers. The results were incorporated into the contents of this Resume Kit. The information presented provides current research on job search skills and strategies as well as input and suggestions from numerous companies throughout the Puget Sound region and has resulted in significant job search success on the part of many job seekers in our County. We sincerely hope you will find it effective in your job search as well.  \n*Updated December 2023  \nWorkSource Pierce Business Services  \nTable of Contents  \nResume Basics and Headings ............................................................................................................... 3  \nResume Do’s and Don’ts ....................................................................................................................... 4  \nWhat About a Resume Objective? ..................................................................................................... 4  \nChronological Resume Format ............................................................................................................ 5  \nChronological Resume Template ........................................................................................................ 7  \nFunctional Resume Format.................................................................................................................... 8  \nFunctional Resume Template ............................................................................................................... 9  \nCombination Resume Format ............................................................................................................ 10  \nCombination Resume Templates ...................................................................................................... 12  \nCover Letter Sample 1.......................................................................................................................... 14  \nCover Letter Sample 2.......................................................................................................................... 15  \nFrequently Asked Questions ................................................................................................................ 16  \n** Online copies of this document and editable Resume and Cover Letter templates can be  \nfound online at [https://worksource-pierce.org](https://worksource-pierce.org).  \nResume Basics and Headings  \nA resume highlights your skills, work experience and education as they relate to the specific job you are seeking. Resumes come in all shapes and sizes, and no one style is right for every position. So, to be successful when looking for work, write a resume that contains relevant information and targets (or matches) the job for which you are applying. Remember that each resume should emphasize your accomplishments in order to show a potential employer what you can do for them.  \nHeadings  \nEmployers agree that a successful resume should include the following four sections. Refer to the sample resumes and templates for examples on how these sections (or headings) can be used.  \nContact Information  \nThe first thing to write on y","cbCaii42LPKvBjfL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii42LPKvBjfL","pdf",680152,22,"English","# Resume Basics and Headings\n## Headings\n## Contact Information\n## Career Summary (Qualifications)\n## Professional Experience\n# Resume Do’s and Don’ts\n# What About a Resume Objective?\n# Chronological Resume Format\n## Chronological Resume Template\n# Functional Resume Format\n## Functional Resume Template\n# Combination Resume Format\n## Combination Resume Templates\n# Cover Letter Sample 1\n# Cover Letter Sample 2\n# Frequently Asked Questions","[{\"question\":\"Why does a resume matter for getting interview invitations?\",\"answer\":\"A resume strongly influences whether employers invite candidates to interview.
