Writing a Resume

Bad Resume

Looking at a Bad Resume (Legible Font) You want to make sure that all the information is legible. Don’t detract from what you have to offer by highlighting your name and/or contact information with a special font. (Objective Versus Profile) Notice how the “bad” sample provides a general objective without offering anything for the hiring manager. A profile is a way to convey what you have to offer a potential employer, not what you want from them. (Don’t Just List Responsibilities) Most hiring managers know the average duties for a given position and therefore don’t need a job description from you. (Provide Quantitative and Qualitative Data When Possible) While the content can be similar for both a “good” and “bad” resume, it’s the lack of measurable data provided that distinguishes the two. (Order of Information) In the “bad” sample, the applicant graduated over five years ago, yet leads with her education. In general you shouldn’t place your education before your experience if you’re not a recent graduate or you do not have an advanced degree. (Leave Off the Personal Information) The need for including hobbies has long since past. Employers want to know what professional organizations you are a member of, what publications you have written, what professional awards you have won, etc.
