Resumes don’t get you the job, but they are a critical element of the job search that leads to an offer. Once you land the interview, then it’s up to you to land the job.\u003Cbr>The staff at the Career Development Center at MTSU reviews hundreds of resumes each year. We also listen to feedback from recruiters and hiring managers. Although you’ll find that just about everyone has a different opinion on how to write a resume, our goal is to help you create your own resume based on core principles so that you’ll have a professional resume throughout the course of your career.\u003Cbr>So what exactly is a resume anyway? Let’s start with a basic definition. When you think about it, a resume is actually a marketing document that highlights your unique knowledge, skills, education, experience and achievements that meet your target audience’s needs.\u003Cbr>A well–crafted resume will accomplish several key outcomes for you:\u003Cbr>1. Highlight who you are and demonstrate how you can meet your hiring audience’s needs in simple yet dynamic language.\u003Cbr>2. Create interest from an employer to offer you an interview.\u003Cbr>3. Communicate your brand or what your competitive advantage is compared to other candidates.\u003Cbr>4. Demonstrate motivation and professionalism through commitment to creating a high quality marketing tool.\u003Cbr>5. Create a structure to help prepare you and the hiring manager for the interview.\u003Cbr>Are there other applications where a professional resume is important? Yes!\u003Cbr>1. Applications for graduate or professional school, fellowships, scholarships, proposals, grantsand other academic merit awards.\u003Cbr>2. Promotions or other performance based incentives with your current employer.\u003Cbr>3. Appointments to boards, panels and committees.\u003Cbr>Three key elements that you will need to master in crafting a professional resume are:\u003Cbr>1. Format: How the information is structured or organized to best present your content.\u003Cbr>2. Design: These elements include font type, font size, color, underline, bold or italic script, use of white space, graphics, and other tools outside of content.\u003Cbr>3. Content: The word choice and phrasing you use to describe your actual experience and speak to the needs of your targeted hiring audience. |\n| |\n\n2  \nMargin: ½ - ¾ inch  \n􀀞􀀞􀀝􀀜􀀛 􀀚􀀙􀀘􀀗 􀀚 􀀕􀀔 (16-24pt) Phone Number | Email Account | L(inkedIn URL  \nYour profile statement is 3-5 sentences telling how you meet the employer’s needs and summarizing your years of experience, knowledge, and skills (11pt)  \n Avoid first person in this sec􀆟on.  \n􀀌􀀋􀀙􀀍􀀍􀀏 (11-12pt)  \nA list of 6-9 hard skills, related to your knowledge and exper􀆟se, in 3 columns  \n Profile Sec􀆟on  \n􀀞􀀝􀀜􀀛􀀚􀀙􀀘􀀗  \nExact Degree Title (do not abbreviate) Middle Tennessee State University Minor or concentration  \n• Achievements  \n• Leadership/Ac􀆟vi􀆟es  \n• Study Abroad/Fellowship/Internships  \n• Most relevant Coursework  \nGradua􀆟on Month & Year Murfreesboro, TN  \n  Educa􀆟on Creden􀆟als  \n􀀖􀀕􀀔􀀓􀀙􀀔􀀗􀀜􀀔  \nJob Title  \nCompany Name  \nDates of Employment Company Loca􀆟on  \n• What results did you achieve in this posi􀆟on?  \n• What transferable skills did you prac􀆟ce or gain from this experience?  \n Use 3-5 bullet points and avoid periods in this sec􀆟on.  \n  Work Experience  \n􀀒􀀚􀀑􀀔􀀓 􀀕􀀘􀀏􀀏􀀙􀀎􀀍􀀔 􀀏􀀔􀀜􀀚􀀙􀀘􀀗􀀏  \nIn","cbCaie8QZS0TmPeN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie8QZS0TmPeN","pdf",1641916,25,"English","# Introduction to the Professional Resume\n# Quick Tips to Build Your Resume\n# Starting From Scratch?\n## Step 1 | Complete a Career Profile\n## Step 2 | Build Your Document Structure\n## Step 3 | Develop Your Content\n# Automated Tracking Systems & AI\n# Self-Editing Checklist\n# Final Review\n# Appendices: Quick Resources\n## Appendix A: Action Verbs\n## Appendix B: Resume Examples","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of a professional resume in the job search?\",\"answer\":\"A professional resume is a marketing document that highlights knowledge, skills, education, experience, and achievements aligned to an employer’s needs.
