The truth is that one source may recommended one thing, while another may recommend something entirely different. It’s easy to get confused. Remember, it’s all about marketing yourself. According to our jobs partner, Handshake, employers glance at a resumé for an average of 6 seconds. While that is out of your control, many agree that the following tips are more likely than not to help you score that job.  \nGetting Started:  \n• Recognize Your Adaptable Skills: It’s hard to get experience when you don’t have any experience. Many employers are understanding about that, while others are looking for specific past experience. However, you may have more skills than you realize. For example, if you want to work in marketing and were involved in a school club that sent email campaigns, wrote newsletters, or posted on social media, great! You’ve done marketing, and you can show that on your resumé .  \n• Customize Your Resumé: Every role is unique, so it’s recommended to customize your resumé to fit the internship or job. It’s okay to have multiple versions of your resumé . Infact, it’s recommended. For example, you may have experience working in multiple fields such as journalism and information technology. Create separate resumés that highlight your experience in those specific fields. To save time when applying for many different kinds of jobs, create a simple resumé and adjust it for a job field or position. Make adjustments for specific applications. While it may seem like a lot of extra work, it will likely pay off.  \n Resumé Tip Sheet   \n• Prepare a Cover Letter: This is a tricky one. Today, cover letters may not have as much impact as they did in the past. However, some companies still favor them. They are common for jobs in government and higher education. Most applications indicate whether a cover letter is required or not. While it’s ultimately up to you whether you include one, we recommend creating one to have at the ready just in case.  \nWhat to Include on Your Resumé:  \n• Personal Information: Name, email, and phone number. Physical address optional.  \n• Summary of Qualifications: The summary should showcase your value as a candidate.  \nHighlight your achievements and the impact you’ve had in your previous roles. For example, you could say “I increased customer satisfaction by 50% by implementing anew customer service process.” Identify four or five of your greatest skills. The skills should directly relate to the role, or at least demonstrate adaptability for the role.  \n• Employment History: List the name of company, dates of employment, and job/ internship title. Include details about the job/internship in bulleted format. Use action verbs and use correct verb tense. Quantify (use numbers) if possible—hiring managers love measurable, objective facts!  \n• Education: List your expected semester of graduation, not how long you have attended. For example, write “Spring 2025,” not “2023-2025 .” Don’t include your GPA if it’sunder 3.0. Use “Arkansas State University-Beebe,” not “ASU-Beebe.” List the official name of your degree or certificate correctly.  \n• Skills: Computer, bilingual, repair, etc. Make sure the skills match the role.  \n• Honors and Activities: List academic, student, and professional clubs & organizations. Highlight leadership positions if possible.  \n Resumé Tip Sheet   \nElevate Your Resumé:  \n• Portfolio Link: Resumés are conventional, but an online portfolio will let you shine. Portfolios can include graphic design work, artwork, code, creative examples, or anything else that shows your commitment to the field you’re applying for. If you don’t already have a portfolio, create one!  \n• Keywords: Employers may utilize an applicant tracking system (ATS), digital filing software that streamlines candidate communication and collects information. However, a real person typically scans your resumé for important keywords.  \n• Leng","cbCaitQhCFUVbSpi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitQhCFUVbSpi","pdf",1363824,7,"English","# Getting Started\n## Recognize Your Adaptable Skills\n## Customize Your Resumé\n## Prepare a Cover Letter\n# What to Include on Your Resumé\n## Personal Information\n## Summary of Qualifications\n## Employment History\n## Education\n## Skills\n## Honors and Activities\n# Elevate Your Resumé\n## Portfolio Link\n## Keywords\n## Length\n## Formatting\n## Editing\n## Second Opinion\n# Things to Avoid\n## Objective statements\n## Creative elements\n## Ineffective formatting\n# Questions?","[{\"question\":\"How long do employers typically spend on a resumé?\",\"answer\":\"Employers glance at a resumé for an average of 6 seconds, so the resumé must quickly present the most relevant information.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the recommended approach for customizing a resumé?\",\"answer\":\"Customize the resumé for the internship or job by creating versions that highlight experience in specific fields, and make adjustments for particular applications.\"},{\"question\":\"What should be included in the education section?\",\"answer\":\"List the expected semester of graduation, avoid including GPA if it is under 3.0, and use the official name of the degree or certificate correctly.\"}]","Resumé Tips - Quick Job Application Formatting Guide | PDF",1789502886]
