Resumes should be in reverse chronological order , jobs and experiences organized with the most recent first.  \nWhat should be included?  \nContact Information  \n Name (Should be at the top of the document and your largest font)  \n Tulane or Personal email address and cell phone number  \n Address (Include address if you are applying in the same city)  \nEducation  \n University and Location  \n Degree , Date  \n Majors , Minors  \n Study Abroad Programs  \n For undergraduate students , high school can be removed  \n For graduate students , you can begin to condense undergraduate extracurricular activities under this section  \nExperience  \n Name of organization , location , job title , dates  \n Use strong action verbs for each bullet point  \n Describe the context of the situation and talk about the skills you developed along with tasks completed  \nActivities and Leadership  \n Organization , Role , Date , Description  \nSkills  \n Computer , technical , language skills. Do not list soft skills.  \nQuick Tips   \nA resume should be 1-2 pages. If you commit to a second page, the second page should be nearly full.  \n Choose an easy to read, professional font between 10.5-12 size. Use plain and consistent formatting without color.  \n Use Microsoft Word. Do not use Google Docs, Canva, InDesign or anyother graphics.  \n Do not include references or“references available upon request” in your resume. These will be formally requested later.  \n Include your undergraduate and/or graduate GPA if above 3.5.  \n Utilize strong action verbs to begin your bullet points. Try not to repeat verbs.  \n Be consistent. Maintain the same styles and formatting throughout your document.  \n Email as a PDF whenever you can. No edits or formatting discrepancies will be seen this way.  \nWriting Better Bullet Points  \nIn order to effectively describe your experiences through bullet point descriptions , use strong action verbs , be succinct , provide specific examples , quantify accomplishments , and include industry specific buzzwords whenever possible.  \nNeed some support? Utilize the PAR method:  \nP: Describe the project or task.  \nA: What activity did you do?  \nR: What were the tangible and quantifiable results?  \nExample  \nCity of New Orleans  \nIntern  \n Helped file city files on residents  \n Reviewed documents with supervisors  \nVersus  \nCity of New Orleans, Office of Emergency Preparedness  \nData Intern, May 2020-August 2020  \n Independently organized 500+ files on 10 years of resident claim reports  \n Reviewed information document requests with local internal auditors  \n Compiled report , including infographics , presented to department leadership  \nAction Verbs  \nDevelopment  \nAdapted Developed Effected Formulated Gathered Planned Reorganized Translated  \nIngenuity  \nConceived  \nConstructed  \nCreated  \nDefined  \nDesigned  \nDetermined  \nDevised  \nEstablished  \nFormed  \nFounded Generated Initiated  \nInvented Originated Predicted  \nProduced  \nProposed  \nWriting Skills  \nDrafted Integrated Summarized Wrote  \nResearch Skills  \nAnalyzed Asses Calculated  \nClarified  \nCollected  \nCompared  \nCompiled  \nConducted  \nDetected  \nDetermined Diagnosed Evaluated Examined  \nExperimented  \nExplored  \nExtracted Formulated Gathered Identified Inspected  \nInterpreted  \nInterviewed  \nInvestigated Located Measured Organized Researched Searched Solved Summarized  \nSurveyed Systematized Tested Verified  \nAdministrative  \nAdministered  \nControlled  \nContributed  \nCoordinated Facilitated Instructed Managed Moderated Prepared  \nPresent  \nProvided Recruited Scheduled Supervised  \nTrained  \nUtilized  ","cbCainpZFn36fwGO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainpZFn36fwGO","pdf",865853,35,"English","# Writing a resume\n## What's the purpose?\n## What should be included?\n## Quick tips\n## Writing better bullet points\n# Action verbs\n# Writing a curriculum vitae\n## What's the purpose?\n## What should be included?\n# Writing a cover letter\n# References\n# Sample resumes and CVs\n# Sample cover letters","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of a well-written resume?\",\"answer\":\"A well-written resume creates an interview opportunity because it is typically the first view an employer has of your qualifications.\"},{\"question\":\"What should a resume include and how should it be organized?\",\"answer\":\"A resume should include contact information, education, experience, activities and leadership, and skills, organized in reverse chronological order with the most recent items first.\"},{\"question\":\"How can you write stronger resume bullet points?\",\"answer\":\"Use strong action verbs, be succinct, provide specific examples, quantify accomplishments, and apply the PAR method: describe the project/task, your activity, and the tangible, quantifiable results.\"}]","SP HTM Resume & Cover Letter Guide - Writing a Resume, Action Verbs, CV, and Cover Letter | PDF",1789287278]
