Writing resume
A resume is a structured summary of a person’s education, employment background, and job qualifications. Before you begin writing a resume, make sure you understand its true function—as a brief persuasive business message intended to stimulate an employer’s interest in meeting you and learning more about you.
Main Parts of a Résumé
- Contact Information: This section is often located at the top of the document. The first element of the contact information is your name. You should use your full, legal name even if you go by your middle name.
- Objective: This is one part of your résumé that is relatively simple to customize for an individual application. Your objective should reflect the audience’s need to quickly understand how you will help the organization achieve its goals.
- Work Experience: List in reverse chronological order your employment history, including the positions, companies, locations, dates, duties and skills demonstrated or acquired. You may choose to use active, descriptive sentences or bullet lists, but be consistent. Emphasize responsibilities that involved budgets, teamwork, supervision, and customer service when applying for positions in business and industry, but don’t let emphasis become exaggeration. This document represents you in your absence, and if information is false, at a minimum you could lose your job.
- Education: You need to list your education in reverse chronological order, with your most recent degree first. List the school, degree, and grade point average (GPA). If there is a difference between the GPA in your major courses and your overall GPA, you may want to list them separately to demonstrate your success in your chosen field.
