Resumes Laura Hall Pharmacy Technician Introduction Bladen Community College Summer 2011

Objective: Students will learn the general overview of resume writing.

Can your resume pass the 10 second test? 10 seconds is all the time an employer is going to give your resume in deciding to keep it or pass on it!

A Resume Is the first meeting between you and the employer. Tells a great deal about you. Gets you the interview. Is your calling card, so remember that “First impressions are lasting ones.”

Resume Principles Convince employer that you are worth the interview. Keep as brief as possible without sacrificing essential qualifications. UGLY=BAD Do not lie, exaggerate or use words that the interviewer has to look up in a dictionary. Focus on strengths and accomplishments.

Balance A good resume has balance. You achieve the greatest possible positive effect when you share the right information in an easy-to-read format that looks professional!

Resume Do’s… Target your qualifications for a specific job Keep it to two pages or less Label your second page – keep it professional

Resume Don’ts No errors Pleasing layout List relevant work history…no more than 15 years back Update lingo

Resume Don’ts cont’d Avoid abbreviations and acronyms Never use pronouns-such as: “I”, “me”, “my”, “our” Never type - use a laser jet printer No fancy fonts, binders, layouts

And cont’d again… Avoid lists of boring sentences Photographs Personal, family or health information References (listen closely) Folded resume

Add Attitude… Team Player Involved with - Contributed to – Served on – Volunteered to –

Power Words Before Resume: –Maintained records for accounts receivable and payable After Resume: –Managed over 1,000 accounts receivable and payable accounts working directly with the Chief Financial Officer Before Resume: –I gave work assignments to staff of entry level accounting clerks After Resume: –Directed workflow, supervised and trained accounting staff performing posting to general ledger, accounts receivable and payable accounts

Types of Resumes Chronological –most common –listing of your jobs and experience with most recent mentioned first –good for job seekers who have –practical work experience with long periods of employment –resume type most preferred by employers

Types of Resumes Functional –focuses on your skills and accomplishments highlights what they are, not when you developed them –good format for job –seekers with lots of job experience and many jobs

Cover Letters Should give the employer a reason to look at the resume. 3 to 5 bulleted points leading to the resume. If the cover letter does not “speak well,” the resume will not be read.

In Summary… Be sure your resume represents you in the best light possible. Use the correct resume form (functional or chronological) to highlight your skills, abilities, and work history. Use a good cover letter to get your foot in the door. Helpmyresume.org
