Writing Your Resume Planning 10

What is a Resume? A resume is a list of your qualifications that allows an employer to see the value in you as a future employee – you are selling yourself! A personal history of your experiences and accomplishments A general summary of your educational and employment background

What’s the purpose of a resume? It is unlikely that a resume will get you a job - it gets you an interview. An effective resume can open doors for you.

H OW DO Y OU P REPARE A R ESUME ? 1.Self-Assessment In what type of atmosphere or environment do I feel most comfortable? Do I prefer working with people, data, or things? What kinds of things have I succeeded in doing in all phases of my life? What activities or interests do I enjoy most and how can I incorporate some of these interests into viable work alternatives? What kinds of things do I dislike doing?

2.Individuality in Resumes Your resume speaks for you when you're not there. Because of this, your resume should reflect you in style and content. H OW DO Y OU P REPARE A R ESUME ?

3.Components of a Resume Career Goals - optional; be specific, clear and concise Personal Information - This section is required in order that the employer may contact you if he/she wishes. Include your name, address, telephone number; if relevant, date of birth.

H OW DO Y OU P REPARE A R ESUME ? 3.Components of a Resume Education - This section describes your training and schooling. Most employers believe that a diploma is a sign of dependability and stability. Provide the name of educational institutions attended, periods of attendance, course or program taken, area of specialization, academic awards, technical skills, non-credit courses, workshops or seminars taken and any awards or honours attained.

3.Components of a Resume Work Experience - This section should include all experiences that are relevant to securing your employment objectives. It includes summer, part-time, and permanent jobs. Start with the most recent job and working backwards in reverse chronological order  period of employment, name and location of employer, title of position, duties, responsibilities, skills, promotions. Don't forget your volunteer work, babysitting, paper routes, etc. if you have no other experiences.

H OW DO Y OU P REPARE A R ESUME ? 3.Components of a Resume Activities and Interests - This section of your resume shows an employer how active and alive you are. The activities you are involved with tell about your personality and abilities. This includes clubs, extra-curricular activities, volunteer work, sports, hobbies.

3.Components of a Resume References - Never use a relative as a reference. Always ask permission of the person before using their name, thus preventing any possible embarrassment. Include the name, position, address, telephone number; can be previous co- workers, teachers, long-time friends of the family, clergy, doctors, bankers, coaches, etc. In other words, if possible, use professionals.
