Writing The Effective Resume: The First Step to Landing your next job or scholarship Academic Knowledge (Junior Year) Lesson Three Content taken from Meridian High School Career Center

Writing An Effective Resume What information should be in a resume? What are characteristics of a successful resume? Should you organize functionally or chronologically? What makes a resume easy to read?

What Information Should Be In A Resume? Identify Yourself Education Continuing Education Work or Professional Experience Volunteer Experience Activities Computer Skills Professional Associations Optional Sections Objective Special Skills and Abilities Reference Statement

Characteristics Of A Successful Resume Focuses on skills. Uses action words to define the responsibilities of your job-related experience. Easy to read and understand. Visually powerful and free of gimmicks. One page, or at most 2 pages long.

Characteristics Of A Successful Resume Language is grammatically correct. Spelling has been checked. Formal Style

Real Resume Mistakes Typos and Grammar Slips “Great attention to detale.” “Proven ability to track down and correct erors.” “Am a perfectionist and rarely if ever forget etails.” Accomplishments: Completed 11 years of high school.”

Characteristics Of A Successful Resume Must always be 100% truthful. Contain no inappropriate personal information. Produced on a computer. Data presented in chronological or functional order. Never use “I” or “me”

Functional Resumes Doesn’t go in chronological order. Based upon competencies or skills. Used for career changers, those with unconventional work histories or scholarships. Might say “Service Experience” then list it. Typically brief with a simple list of positions held, etc. De-emphasizes importance of specific jobs. Drawbacks to this system (not as popular).

Basic Checklist No spelling or grammar errors. Neat, clean, and professional looking. Length should be 1-2 pages. Margins at sides and bottom. Layout makes reading easy. Use of white space is effective.

Basic Checklist Important titles should be emphasized. Experiment with fonts & styles; bold, italic, and underlines. No more than 2 or 3 different sizes. Information is logically recorded. Use Action Verbs for accomplishments & results.
