PRELIMINARY RESEARCH Determined as exactly as possible what the employer wants? Learned enough about the job and employer to tailor your résumé to them? Created a keyword list?

HEADING Enables employers to reach you by mail, phone, and e-mail?

OBJECTIVE Tailored to the specific job you want? Emphasizes what you will give rather than what you would like to get?

EDUCATION Tells your school, major, and date of graduation? Provides additional information that shows you are well-qualified for the job you want: academic honors and scholarships, specialized courses and projects, etc.? Uses headings such as “Honors” and “Related Courses” to highlight your qualifications?

WORK EXPERIENCE Identifies each employer’s name and city, plus your employment dates? Provides specific details about your previous jobs that highlight your qualifications: accomplishments, knowledge gained, equipment and programs used, as well as responsibilities, etc.?

ACTIVITIES Describes your extracurricular and community activities in a way that shows you are qualified, responsible, and pleasant?

INTERESTS Mentions personal interests that will help the reader see you as a well-rounded and interesting person?

REFERENCES Lists people who will be impressive to your readers? Includes a mix of references who can speak about your performance in different contexts? Includes title, business address, phone, and e-mail address for each reference? Includes only people who’ve given permission to be listed? Omits personal references (family, friends, etc.)?

PROSE Presents the most impressive information first? Expresses the action in verbs, not nouns? Uses strong verbs? Uses parallel constructions? Omits irrelevant information? Uses correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation?

VISUAL DESIGN Looks neat and attractive? Highlights the facts that will be most impressive to employers? Uses headings, layout, and other design features to help readers to find specific facts quickly?

ETHICS Lists only experiences, accomplishments, degrees, and job titles you’ve actually had? Avoids taking sole credit for things you did with a team? Avoid statements intended to mislead?
