Presentation transcript:

Writing Your Resume A resume is a well-organized document which gives factual information about you and lists your strengths, accomplishments, skills, talents, and experiences. Ideally, a resume should be no longer than one page. You need to be concise yet still provide the reader with a picture of who you are. You should collect and write down your information before you create your resume. Use information from your high school years only.

Heading Name Address City, State, Zip Code Telephone Number, Address

GPA, Test Scores, Graduation Insert information horizontally for this section.

Academic Honors List your academic honors here.

Athletics List your athletic participation, honors, and/or awards here.

Other Honors List any other achievements/honors/awards that you have received in or out of school.

Extra-Curricular Activities List your activities here.

Community Service List your activities here.

Work Experience List your work experience here.

References List your references here.

Final Points Carefully proofread your resume for spelling and grammatical mistakes. Do not rely solely on spellcheck. You may also want to have someone else read it for clarity. When you print your good copy, stay away from bright or unusual colors. Use a neutral beige or white paper with black ink. Don’t forget to save your resume on your computer and on a disk.
