A resume is a summary of your abilities, accomplishments, and experiences. This guide is an introduction. We recommend that you have a career counselor critique your resume before using it!  \nOne-page resumes are preferable for most fields. Two-page resumes are appropriate if you have a great deal of relevant experience. If you use two pages, make sure your name is at the top of the second page.  \nHave others proofread your resume for clarity, grammar, and spelling.  \nThere are two basic resume formats. The most common is the reverse chronological, which is particularly appropriate for individuals whose most recent work and educational experience match closely with their career/job objective. In this format, the most recent education and experience are listed first, followed by the next most recent, and soon.  \nThe less frequently used functional format is most appropriate for people who do not have experience in their chosen field. It is designed to highlight specific transferable skills that would be relevant to an employer, rather than focus on chronology or employment history.  \nUse a word-processor, experimenting with different fonts and layouts to produce a resume that effectively presents your qualifications. Print the resume on 8 1/2 by 11 inch white, ivory, or light beige bond paper.  \nThe following categories are typically included in a reverse-chronological resume, however, your particular situation will dictate which ones are most appropriate for you.  \nNAME  \nInclude first (given) name FIRST, middle name/initial (optional), then last name (surname) LAST. ADDRESS  \nInclude local and/or permanent addresses. Refer to sample for possible layout.  \nPHONE NUMBER/E-MAIL  \nInclude day and/or evening numbers, as well as e-mail if applicable.  \nOBJECTIVE (optional)  \nBriefly indicate a specific position. Do not state that you want a “challenging career opportunity.”EDUCATION  \nList in reverse chronology. Include institution, location, school division, degree, graduation date or expected graduation date, all majors and minors, and GPA if above a 3.0.  \nHONORS  \nList any honors, scholarships, or awards you have received, including any received from community or civic organizations.  \nRELEVANT COURSEWORK  \nList courses-even if outside your major-that are relevant to the position. Focus on electives and upper-level courses.  \nEXPERIENCE  \nInclude paid employment, internships, volunteer work, and military service. List employer/organization, location (city and state only), job title, dates of employment, and a brief job description.  \nWhen writing the job description, be concise and concrete. Use action verbs. Describe responsibilities and skills used. Emphasize results and accomplishments! Do not lead with “Duties” or “Responsibilities.” Omit pronouns.  \nInclude specific details of the experience that is relevant to your job objective. Six or seven lines of information is enough. For less relevant experience, (e.g., babysitting, when you want a job in broadcasting), summarize the responsibilities in one or two lines.  \nACTIVITIES  \nInclude NYU club memberships, student government, community service, and participation on athletic teams. Emphasize leadership duties, if any. If the bulk of your experience was gained through an activity, list it under EXPERIENCE","cbCaiv83VlufPC63","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv83VlufPC63","pdf",1027077,25,"English","# Resume Guidelines and Samples\n## General Tips\n## Resume Formats\n## Resume Sections\n## Action Verb List","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of a resume according to the guide?\",\"answer\":\"A resume is meant to persuade a potential employer to interview you by summarizing your abilities, accomplishments, and experiences.\"},{\"question\":\"When should you use a reverse-chronological resume versus a functional resume?\",\"answer\":\"Use reverse chronological when your most recent work and education align closely with your career objective.
