RESUME FORMATS

WHAT IS A RESUME?
A resume is a brief, informative summary of your abilities,
education, and experience.
It should highlight your strongest assets and skills, and
differentiate you from other candidates seeking
similar positions. Although it alone will not get
you a job or internship, a good resume is an important
element toward obtaining an interview.
Tailor your resume to the type of position you
are seeking. This does not mean that all of your
work history must relate directly, but your
resume should reflect the kind of skills the employer would value.

RESUME TIPS
RESUME LANGUAGE SHOULD
BE:
Specific rather than general
Active rather than passive
Written to express not impress
Articulate rather than
flowery
Fact-based (quantify and
qualify)
Written for people who scan
quickly

DONT:
Use personal pronouns (such as I)
Abbreviate
Use a narrative style
Use slang or colloquialisms
Include a picture
Include age or gender
List references
Start each line with a date

TOP 5 RESUME MISTAKES:

1. Spelling and grammar errors
2. Missing email and phone
information
3. Using passive language instead of
action words
4. Not well organized, concise, or
easy to skim
5. Too long

DO:
Be consistent in format and content
Make it easy to read and follow, balancing white
space
Use consistent spacing, underlining, italics, bold,
and capitalization for emphasis
List headings (such as Experience) in order of
importance
Within headings, list information in reverse
chronological
order (most recent first)
Avoid information gaps such as a missing
summer
Be sure that your formatting will translate
properly
