Heading  \n▪ Include name, address, phone number, and email address. Make sure the information is current.  \n▪ Let anyone who may answer your phone (roommates, parents, friends) know you will be expecting phone calls from potential employers! Make sure they take a complete and accurate message in a professional and polite manner.  \n▪ Be professional when answering your phone or recording the greeting on your phone – avoid music in the background, sarcastic messages, cussing, etc.  \nB . Objective or Professional Summary  \n▪ A job objective is an optional, brief statement stating the type of position you’re seeking. Generally, an objective is used by someone who has recently graduated or has very little experience. It is optional on the resume, but should be included in your cover letter.  \n▪ A professional summary is one to three sentences at the beginning of your résumé to help describe the value you bring through your skills and experience. It is more common than an objective, but is also optional.  \nC . Education  \n▪ Include degree, major (minor) or program, school, and graduation date (month/year) .  \n▪ Spell out the degree you are receiving and include GPA ifit is 3.0 or higher.  \n▪ May also include an additional section listing relevant courses (3000 level and above only) or descriptions of specific academic projects.  \nD . Experience  \n▪ Include company name, city and state where you worked, your title, date of employment, and duties.  \n▪ List each job in reverse chronological order (starting with most recent) .  \n▪ Duties may be listed as bullets or in paragraph form. However, bullets are advised in most cases for easier reading. Phrase duties in terms of what you accomplished rather than what was required of you and include as much quantifiable information as possible.  \nE. Skills  \n▪ Consider skills you have in communication, conflict resolution, computers, leadership, foreign languages, etc. Remember, you should select skills relevant to the job you are applying for.  \n▪ Try to give three to five statements describing the skills that are most relevant to the position.  \n▪ Skills may be developed from paid employment as well as volunteer work, internships, activities, and coursework.  \nF . Honors and Activities  \n▪ Include any organizations or committees in which you have been involved.  \n▪ Provide information on any offices held, committees served, awards, scholarships, etc. May bullet or provide in paragraph form. If there are too many, list only the most relevant or create two sections.  \nG . References  \n▪ You may simply state “References available upon request” or you may choose to leave this section off. However, be prepared to provide references during the interview or when requested.  \n▪ If you choose to include references with your resume, list them on a separate page with your name and contact information at the top followed by the section title REFERENCES. The Reference Page should be typed in the same format as your resume. You’ll need 3-5 professional references and should request permission before listing an individual as a reference. Include the individual’s name, title, organization, address, and phone number as listed below. Under Relationship include a brief description (as shown below) to indicate how that individual knows you.  \nMr./Ms./Dr. Name, Title  \nOrganization  \nAddress  \nTelephone Number  \nRelationship: Academic Advisor, Current Supervisor, etc.  \nTypes of Resumes  \nChronological – Focuses on work history. This format is useful if you are currently working or have worked recently and the work experience is related to your job objective.  \nFunctional – Focuses on your skills and qualifications rather than your actual employment/job titles. A functional format is beneficial if you have been out of work for a length of time, if you have worked for the same company for numerous years, or if you have held several unrelated jobs.
