Your résumé is your first opportunity to make a good impression to a potential school, employer, or organization. This guide will provide you with strategies to develop the content and formatting for your American-style résumé . It provides guidelines for applying to entry-level roles.

A college résumé is more detailed than a high school résumé . It uses bullet point statements to highlight not just what you did, but what you accomplished. By the start of your junior year, typically high school experiences should be removed from your résumé . Exceptions may be made to highlight your network or a specific relevant experience. It is important to get involved early at Trinity by participating in clubs, athletics, part-time jobs, volunteering, internships, and more.  \nIDP STUDENTS  \nIf you gained full-time work experience before enrolling at Trinity College, your résumé may differ slightly from the samples in this guide. Depending on the amount of work experience and additional education you have, you might incorporate the following:  \n- An objective, headline, or summary statement  \n- Re-order your résumé sections to highlight your experience (ex. moving education to the bottom of the résumé)  \n- Expand your résumé to two pages  \nIt is important to tailor your résumé based on your experiences and career aspirations; schedule an appointment with a Career Coach to customize your résumé to your goals.  \nCV VERSUS RÉSUMÉ  \nA traditional CV or Curriculum Vitae is a longer document, commonly used in academia, that includes one’s “life’s work.” Most undergraduate students will not need a CV unless applying to specific research positions, fellowships, or graduate schools.  \nInternationally, many employers refer to a résumé as a CV. In these circumstances the employer is requesting a one-page résumé . For strategies on writing a CV schedule a career coaching appointment in Handshake.  \nRÉSUMÉ FORMATTING  \nEmployers spend between 10 and 30 seconds making initial decisions on résumés. By using simple and consistent formatting you can ensure employers can easily find your relevant experiences and skills.  \nGENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS  \n- Create your résumé in Microsoft Word; Do not use templates, Pages, or Google Docs which will complicate formatting Trinity students can download Microsoft for free through the Trinity Help Desk  \n- Margins between .5-1 inch and equal on all sides  \n- Use the same font throughout the résumé; Stick to basic fonts such as Arial, Times New Roman, or Garamond  \n- Font should be between 10.5-12pt  \n- Every experience should consistentl","cbCaijGGRLIP3zcr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijGGRLIP3zcr","pdf",1528434,"English","# What is a Résumé?\n## Types of Résumés\n## Résumé Formatting\n## Résumé Versions\n## Résumé Sections\n## Sample Résumés\n## Sample References Page","[{\"question\":\"What is a résumé and why is it important for applications?\",\"answer\":\"A résumé is a branding document that highlights your relevant education, experiences, and skills.
