Sales Associate, Bubble Gum Shop, Coolville, NC June 2015-Oct.2015 Assisted customers by answer questions, suggesting bubble gum flavors, and checking them out efficiently.

Summary Statement/Qualifications Summary First, traditional Objective statements are considered obsolete by many employers Incorporate key words from job description if you can Describe your skills & experience in 2-3 sentences, grab employer’s attention Recent graduate and self-starter effectively functioning with minimum supervision. Known for taking initiative and highly organized. A team player who is attentive to detail and produces quality results. Computer proficient. Areas of expertise include: • Customer Service • Detail Oriented • Time Management • Multi Tasking • Microsoft Office • Written and Verbal Comm.

You also need to know… Unpaid work experience such as internships are still work experience Your resume represents you when you’re not there! Be neat, succinct, use correct grammar and keep it to one page Employers scan your resume for an average time of 7-10 seconds What job are you applying for? Did you read the job description? Use terminology in the job description in your resume if you can Use data when you can Don’t list references

More you need to know… Use adjectives when describing your work experience Pay attention to formatting – name should be bigger than other words, use white space, easy to read font, attractive Have someone else proof read your resume No perfect resume – all unique Work Experience, Community Service, Volunteer Work: TITLES CAN VARY No PHOTOS Graphics can be used sparingly…a line or two looks good
