What is a rsum?
A rsum is a brief document that summarizes your education, employment history, and experiences
that are relevant to your qualifications for a particular job for which you are applying. The purpose of a
rsum (along with your cover letter) is to get an interview. Research has shown that it takes an average
of ten (10) interviews to receive one (1) job offer, so your rsum needs to be persuasive and perfect.
Given this, your rsum must be user-centered and persuasive.
It is crucial that your resume reflects your personality and individuality, yet there are general principles
which should serve as guidelines regardless of your choice of format or style. It is also important to
remember that resumes may be "general" (useful for seeking positions in a variety of career fields) or
"job specific" (a stated objective is usually present at the beginning of this type of resume). Resumes
that are job specific tend to get the best results. Often, people have more than one resume; each
emphasizes particular skills and experiences.

What should it look like?

A general rsum should be a brief summary of your experience, so it should be as concise as possible (a
one page maximum for those with a Bachelors degree is commonplace). Rsums differ from letters
and papers, and they are written in a concise style using bullet lists rather than long sentences and
paragraphs. A rsum is designed to be skimmed quickly. You should look at as many rsum examples
as possible before writing your own. You can check our samples to see several different formats.
Though you may maintain a general rsum, you should tailor your rsums to fit the needs and
expectations of each company and job position. Since the initial contact between your resume and the
employer is so brief, your resume must be visually interesting. Avoid templates if possible and create a
document that is unique to you starting in straight MSWord. Your resume should be error-free!
Proofread carefully. Ask someone else to proofread it, too.
Font: Always use a simple easy-to-read font such as Calibri, Verdana, and Century Gothic. As a general
rule, no font size on your resume should be smaller than 10 point. Your name should be the largest font
size on your resume. A good range, depending on which font you use, is between 16 and 22 points. Try
not to use a variety of fonts as consistency is important.
Margins: Your margins depend on how much information you are trying to put onto your resume. Left
and right side margins should always be the same size. As a general rule, margins should be no smaller
than .5 inches and no larger than 1 inch.

Heading: List your name and both a campus and a permanent address and phone number at the top of
your resume page. Your name can be between 16 pt and 22 pt size font; you want potential employers
to remember who you are. After graduation only your permanent address is necessary. If you check email regularly, list this address as well.
Format: Job titles and places where you have worked may be emphasized in bold type, CAPITAL
LETTERS, italics, or be underlined. Keep in mind that consistency plays a vital role in a positive
appearance. If you plan to highlight your "Education" heading with bold type and capitalization, be sure
that your corresponding titles (e.g. Objective, Employment, Activities) are highlighted in the same
fashion. Beware, however, of overemphasizing. In a sea of capital letters, bold type, and underlined
words, nothing distinguishes itself from the rest.
DO:
Use phrases starting with action verbs.
Use language that creates vivid word pictures for potential employers.
While being descriptive, keep explanations as concise as possible.
Use quantities, amounts, and dollar values whenever they enhance the description of your
accomplishments.
Keep your tenses and format consistent according to the time in which you completed the
responsibility.
DON'T:
Use the personal pronoun "I" (There are occasional exceptions to this rule).
Use phrases like "Responsible for" and "Was in charge of." Do not say what you were supposed to
do, say what you did.
Include personal data such as height, weight, health, age or marital status.
Include a photograph unless requested.
Include salary information or address of prior employer; the name of the company and city and state
where it is located is sufficient.
Have any typos or any grammatical errors.

Types of Resumes: Chronological, Functional, Scannable

Chronological Resume
This style of organization is very conservative, and it is most useful for people who have work experience
in positions which are closely related to their desired employment. This style is also most suited to
people who have not had long periods of unemployment time between jobs. This format starts with the
present, or most recent, job and progresses back in time.
Functional Resume
A functional resume emphasizes abilities or categories of skill or experience (rather than positions). Use
headings which are most relevant to the job you are apply for. The following are some commonly used
headings: Management; Marketing; Technology; Insurance; Administration; Advertising; Public
Relations; Communications; Education; Writing/Editing; Teaching; Research, etc.
In a functional resume, the education and experience sections are arranged in order of importance,
regardless of chronological sequence. The most important experience is described first and most fully.
Less detail is needed as the significance of the experience diminishes. The strengths of the functional
approach are many. It encourages you to prioritize your skills. If your most recent experience has been
least meaningful or if you have spent several summers at similar jobs, you can control the way they
appear on your resume. This format emphasizes skills and major accomplishments and allows you to
organize them in an order that most supports your career objectives and interests.
The following are examples of when a functional resume is most suitable: - changing career paths - lack
of direct experience for a job opening - possessing only seasonal or temporary work experience or
having gaps between employment experiences - having a variety of unrelated work experiences.

Scannable Resume
Resume databases enable employers to identify candidates for their openings without spending
hundreds of hours weeding through stacks of resumes. At many companies, technology has replaced
humans in the initial screening; therefore, it may be necessary to design an additional resume that will
not be screened out by the computer. Unlike people, who may be impressed by format, language,
personal qualities, and the like, computers are strictly objective. Selection through a database is most
often determined by skills and experience.
While paper resumes can seize the reader's attention with action verbs, nouns are emphasized in
scannable resumes since nouns are most often used for keyword searches. The process is similar to
keyword searches available on library systems. The more keywords you use, the more likely that your
resume will be chosen. Often, resumes are ranked based on the number of matches.
When determining the format of your scannable resume, it's important to remember that people will be
reading your resume after the initial screening. An effective scannable resume includes a summary of
keywords near the beginning of the document. The remainder of the resume may be any format you
choose. To help you choose keywords, develop a list of job and industry jargon or buzzwords. When
developing this list, read literature about the industry, job and organization; conduct informational
interviews; and use words that appear in the job description.
Tips for writing scannable resumes:

Use a common font and a sans serif typeface such as Helvetica, Futura, Univers, Tahoma, Calibri
Use font size 10 to 14 points.
Avoid italics, graphing, shading, horizontal and vertical lines.
Use a laser printer.
Always send originals.
Put your name on the first line, alone, with the address underneath.
Do not fold your resume.
Include a cover letter.

Center for Career and Experiential Education

Categories of Resumes
The information you want to present on your resume should be grouped into certain categories to allow
prospective employers to quickly find what they are seeking. There are some categories you should
always expect to use, such as Education and Experience, as well as other categories that are used on
certain types of resumes.
Education
For most students, education represents the most significant accomplishment and is listed first. List your
degree (Bachelor of Arts), graduation date, name and location of the university and major. If you studied
abroad, wrote a thesis, or conducted original research, it should be included. You may add specific
coursework if it relates to the field in which you are interested.
If you have a significant number of relevant honors from college, you might consider listing them under
a separate heading entitled Honors. High school academic honors, activities, and experiences should be
included if they are of major significance only and/or relate to your field of interest.
Once you have had several years' work experience after college (generally 5 years in total), many people
choose to move the Experience category into first place on the resume and move the Education
category to the bottom. Whether or not to do this is not universally accepted and we encourage you to
check with a career counselor for advice on your particular situation.
Experience (Alternative titles for this category include Work Experience and Employment)
In most employers' minds, experience is the most important section on the resume. They readily admit,
however, that experience, and therefore skills, are gained not only through paid employment.
Internships, volunteer positions, and campus activities can develop valuable skills which you will want to
highlight.
It is essential in this category to pay close attention to your choice of wording. Remember to use action
words, fragment sentences, and the appropriate tenses. Also, if the jobs that you have held have no real
job titles, develop a title which conveys the essence of your job. Be as accurate and specific as possible
when describing a particular job and giving yourself a title.
It is frequently useful and effective to emphasize experiences specifically related to the job by listing
these under titles such as Communications Experience, Leadership Experience, Volunteer Experience,
Organizational/Administrative Experience, Editing/Writing Experience, etc. The addition of such specific
headings is often a hallmark of a functional resume.

First Floor Roosevelt Hall, Kingston, RI uri.edu/career 401.874.2311

Additional Skills (Alternative titles for this category include Skills, Related Skills, and Additional
Qualifications)
A skills section lists both specific and general skills that are noteworthy, such as knowledge of foreign
and computer languages, familiarity with statistical or laboratory techniques, and social media skills.
Other Categories
If you have published a piece of research or belong to any professional organizations, this fact may merit
inclusion under a separate heading. An Interests or Interests/Activities category is quite often used to
include features such as domestic or overseas travel, hobbies, or relevant background information.
Job Objective (Alternative titles for this category include Position Sought, Professional Goal, Career
Objective, and Summary)
A job objective identifies the type of work you are seeking, the field in which you are interested, or the
skills you would like to use on the job. An objective statement is most effective if it provides clarification
for the reader. For example, if you have a broad major (such as sociology or management), you are
seeking an internship, or you are seeking a position that is not closely related to your major, you may
consider using an objective.
A good objective statement answers the following:
1. What type of positions you are seeking (internship or entry-level).
2. What type of company/industry/job you are seeking (human resources, operational
management, sales).
3. What qualities you bring to the job (your strengths).

Center for Career and Experiential Education

First Floor Roosevelt Hall, Kingston, RI uri.edu/career 401.874.2311

Summary of Qualifications or Highlights of Accomplishments

Summary of Qualifications (Replacing the Objective) is 3-5 concise sentences and is the first section
listed on a resume. It is a summary of your most pertinent experience and qualifications that is
customized for the position in which you are applying. This is also a place where attributes, such as
punctuality and honesty, can be conveyed that would otherwise not be appropriate under work
experience. Use the job description to help identify the areas of expertise, distinction, traits and related
experiences you have without using the words I or My.
How to Write
1. Brainstorm about the skills and attributes that you possess. These skills need to pertain to the type
of job you are trying to obtain. It might be helpful to reference the job description. Start writing
down skills such as "Proficient in Microsoft Office applications," "Punctual," "Created employee
handbooks," "Ranked No. 1 salesperson in past two positions," etc. Write down as many as you can
and then narrow the list later. It can also be helpful to brainstorm with someone who knows you in
the working world, because they might be able to suggest traits that you were not aware of.
2. Review your list. You might be able to combine multiple items to create one thorough bullet point.
For example, list items such as Punctual, Proficient in AutoCAD, Completes projects under
budget and goal-oriented could be combined to read Punctual AutoCAD professional with a track
record for finishing projects on time and under budget.
3. Compare your list to your work experience. Does your list help summarize your work? Does your list
summarize the skills for the job you want to obtain? If not, work on creating a more accurate list. If
your list includes "Ability to read people" and you have held jobs that do not require customer
service, adjust your skill to read "Ability to work well with a team by understanding the needs of my
peers."
4. Narrow your list to three to five bullet points that most accurately and effectively summarize your
work experience. These bullet points are the first list on your resume and can be the only area a
recruiter may read; make sure that these bullet points reflect how you want to be summarized as a
potential candidate. Keep in mind that a resume is never complete and new work experiences or a
new career direction affect the content of your summary of qualifications.
