FUNCTION The function of a resume is to inform the audience about you in order to accomplish something. What you’re trying to accomplish depends on what you’re trying to do. This might include getting a job, getting into college, winning a scholarship, or being selected for an internship.

FORM Resumes need to look a certain way. This is considered their form. People who read resumes expect them to include specific information, such as your name, address, contact information, education, past jobs, volunteer experience, and special skills. If a resume does not look like a traditional resume, you may come across as uneducated or unprepared!

E(FFECTIVENESS) For a resume to be effective, it must : - Have a clear purpose that shows why you are writing it - Be visually appropriate and appealing, or easy to read - Include all the necessary information about you, the writer - Be grammatically correct with no errors in punctuation or spelling

Resume “DO”s! Use professional, easy-to-read fonts (e.g., Arial, Times New Roman, Garamond, etc.). This is not necessary nor does it make you a more appealing applicant. Actually, it will make you seem LESS qualIfied and more desperate! Choose categories that emphasize your individual strengths. For example, if you haven’t received any awards, do not list it as a category! Use underlining, bolding, and italics to emphasize categories and important topics

Resume “DO”s! Use Bullet Points to convey information in a quick way (instead of writing out paragraphs) Keep your format consistent (e.g., font size/type, order of information, layout, etc.) Tailor for each position

Resume “DO”s! Use power verbs to strengthen your statements * Include relevant non-work experiences Keep information up-to-date Edit and proofread multiple times Do use a lot of “white space” Do make sure your resume’s first page could stand on its own

Resume “DON’T”s! Don't list a quirky/inappropriate address on your résumé. Employers generally don't want to ask in for an interview. Instead, create a separate account for professional purposes. Don't include irrelevant personal information, such as your favorite food or hobbies.

Resume “DON’T”s! Don't use complete sentences; hiring managers prefer short, bulleted statements. Don’t Use a fancy fonts or a font size below 10 point Don’t Use personal pronouns like “I” Don’t list references (on your resume) Don’t LIE!

POWER VERBS ! Administered Developed Evaluated Planned Designated Arranged Authorized Delegated ……… Just a few. See handout!
