How to Write a Good Resume (in English!)

Resumes  This is not your career history. It's a brief, bullet-point description of your related experience and/or your capabilities.  Describe your actions with strong verbs and active voice (meaning you make things happen, not things happen to you)  Bad: “Was a health organization intern.”  Better: “Volunteered with a health organization to raise money.”  Best: “Developed the outreach strategy for a health organization’s fundraising campaign.”  As you have not amassed many job experiences, you should try to incorporate other life experiences from which you learned something or showed your skills.  For example, school clubs or activities, volunteer experiences.  Skills that many employers look for:  integrity, enthusiasm, passion, determination, initiative, creativity, originality, organisational ability, planning, cost-management, people- skills, technical skill, diligence, reliability, etc.  of course, it depends on the job!

Resumes  Your resume must have ABSOLUTELY NO SPELLING OR GRAMMAR MISTAKES. Seriously. None.  Someone should be able to know who you are within 30 seconds of looking at your resume. Therefore, it must be visually well organized.  You should include only the information that is related to the job you’re applying.  Your resume should be 1 page.  DO NOT include a photo of yourself. Never.

Resume Review  With a partner, look at the sample resumes.  Which resumes are good?  What qualities make them good?  Which resumes are bad?  What qualities make them bad?

Optional Homework:  Create your own resume!  If you want, create your own resume using the guidelines we talked about in class.  Bring it to class next week and we can proofread and edit your resume.
