* Strengths * Talents * Passions/Interests * Values * Personality * Limitations * On the job * How did you make the company better? * On volunteer experiences * How did you make society better?

1. Do you enjoy working with people, data or things? 2. Would you like to work for someone else or yourself? 3. How important is salary, benefits, technology or stability? 4. Would you rather work for a corporation or a company? 5. How would you describe the perfect job?

What do I want them to do? What objections do they have? What is my credibility? What cultural influences are there? What is the best approach – emotional, logical or both?

* What are the characteristics of this industry? Job? * What are the skills needed? * What are the strengths needed?

Think- * Look at other resumes. What presentation is attractive to you? * Don’t use a Microsoft Word Template. * How do you want to express yourself?

Think- * What is the most persuasive qualifier that I have?

Do – Use an organized, easy to read approach. Remember, you only have seconds to impress. * Make it beautiful on the page. Don’t - * Use ‘crazy’ fonts * Use I * Use a template * Use a summary section * List every single job you ever had * Use complete sentences * Miss the power play in positioning & bolding * “References Available Upon Request”

* Objective * Education * Experience * Leadership * Honors/Awards * Languages/Study Abroad * Computer Skills * Associations * Volunteerism/Community Service * Internships * Academic Projects * Related Coursework

Think – * Action. Business is performance. * Use emotional word pictures * Be specific. * Increased production capability by 10% resulting in 50K in revenue. * …and AVOID saying “Responsible for the success of the production team” * Start with an action verb. * Analyzed * Chaired * Coordinated * Developed * Improved * Increased * Strengthen * Negotiated

Bold your transferrable information, like job titles and the names of your degrees Tell your story at 100%.
