OBJECTIVE |
Enter in two sentences or less your goal and type of job you want. Be as specific and clear as possible. Remember to be concise. This is like a 'sound bite' for the resume reader. It either gets their attention or it does not. |
SUMMARY |
||||||||||||||||
This section is where you will summarize your experience and pertinent skills for the job you want. Use Bullet headings or table format, (for IT skills). Do not over use this section. Again, this section should summarize your abilities in a concise way. This area is an attention grabber. Here are a few examples.
|
EXPERIENCE |
Company Name, City, State |
Job Title, 19xx - 2000 |
Briefly describe your responsibilities in this section. Use short concise language or again use bullet headings. No more than 4-5 per job. Remember, the resume should be easy to read through quickly. Your resume may be one of a hundred a reviewer must look at in a day. Try to start of each bullet heading with an action word or verb. (i.e. - Managed; Created; Revised; Accelerated; Contracted; Supervised; etc.) |
Company Name, City, State |
Job Title, 19xx - 19xx |
Same description format as noted above. |
Company Name, City, State |
Job Title, 19xx - 19xx |
Try to
list relevant jobs. This applies mostly to younger people, with little experience or people with a career change in mind. Do not go extensively into your experience as a waiter, cashier or parking lot attendant, (potentially jobs you had while attending school), if you are applying for an IT position with heavy technical requirements. |
EDUCATION |
School Name, City, State |
B.A., Major, Minor: Minor, 19xx |
GPA: xx, Major GPA: xx. Briefly note any awards, committees, offices held or affiliations from school. Do so in a concise way and remember to emphasize any related issues to the job or field you want to enter. |
School Name, City, State |
M.B.A., Major, Minor: Minor, 19xx |
GPA: xx, Major GPA: xx. Secondary or technical school data should also be summarized in the same format as noted above. If you have further education, such as post graduate
studies, you want to summarize your research skills and thesis. |
