LEARNING THE IMPORTANCE OF WRITING A GOOD RESUME TO USE AS A MARKETING TOOL FOR EMPLOYMENT. How To Write A Resume

What is a resume? A resume is a short point-form document that you give to employers to tell them about your work experience, education and skills. There are many experiences, skills and interest areas that you can put on your resume even if you don’t have a great deal of work experience. Writing a resume is a very practical exercise to improve your writing skills.

Three Types of Resumes Chronological Resume  Used if you can demonstrate steady progression in your education and employment.  Best to use if (1) the name of your last employer is important, (2) you want to find a job in the same area as your previous one, (3) your job history or education shows growth and development.  Don’t use if (1) you want to emphasize skills you haven’t used in other jobs, (2) you’re looking for a job you’ve never done before, (3) you’ve changed jobs a lot.

Chronological Resume: Example Take a look at your sample Chronological Resume. What do you see at the top of the resume? What do you notice about the structure? Appropriate interview attire

Three Types of Resumes Functional /Targeted Resume  Best when you have little or no actual work experience in the area in which you’re looking for work.  Best to use if (1) you haven’t worked before, (2) you want to emphasize talents and skills you haven’t used in a particular job, (3) you’ve had a variety of jobs in the past which aren’t connected, (4) you’ve done mostly temporary or volunteer work in the past.  Don’t use if (1) you have a steady pattern of jobs and educations, (2) your past employers are important in relation to your job objective.

Functional/Targeted Resume: Example Take a look at your sample Functional/Targeted Resume. What do you see at the top of the resume? What do you notice about the structure?

Three Types of Resumes Combination Resume  A combination of the chronological and functional/targeted resumes.  Best to use if (1) you have limited work experience that is relevant to this job, (2) your education is an important part of your skills presentation and your practical skills are limited, (3) your background shows a wide range of unrelated skills (4) your work history isn’t reflective of you as a stable worker – you’ve held a lot of different jobs, (5) your work history shows more time in other work areas

Combination Resume: Example Take a look at your sample Combination Resume. What do you see at the top of the resume? What do you notice about the structure? Only wear this shirt on an interview if you enjoy being unemployed.

Helpful Resume Tips 1. Keep the layout as simple as possible! Be selective! Employers receive many resumes and won’t be attracted to lengthy, cluttered resumes that take too much time to read. Only people with a great deal of experience should have a resume over one page in length. 2. Don’t fold the copy of your resume until you are ready to deliver or mail it. That will prevent it from being “dog-eared” or having several creases. 3. Make sure the information is accurate. 4. Be sure you list all the correct personal information, including your address, and phone number. 5. Have at least 3 professional references to whom you have asked if they will be your reference. 6. Tailor your resume objective for a better chance of being considered. 7. PROOFREAD, PROOFREAD, PROOFREAD! 8. Don’t sign or date your resume. 9. Always send a cover letter. We will discuss this during the next class.

Individual Work: Guess what you have to do! Create your resume! Use the tips from this presentation, the sample resumes, and your own research to create your perfect resume. It must be typed in an appropriate resume format. Your first draft is due on Thursday/Friday.
