6. How should I write the rest of my resume?
Ask yourself the following questions, What is most important to emphasize for the job I am applying for? Is it my skills, my education, or my work experience?
2
The chronological resume
Most recent jobs/education come first Bullet points indicating what each job/experience involved (use action verbs) Use this style if you have lots of relevant work experience THIS IS THE KIND OF RESUME YOU SHOULD ALL AIM FOR, so you have to be proactive and seek out internships, and other experiences that are relevant to the future job you want to do.
3
The ‘transferable’ skills resume
Emphasizes skills & accomplishments Use this style if you have little or no work experience Perhaps freshman, and sophomores who are applying for internships, will have this kind of resume. Whichever style you write, the basic principle is the same: You must match your skills, experience and knowledge with the skills being sought by the recruiter.

Your skills, experiences, and knowledge
Skills, experience, and knowledge matching Job Requirements Your skills, experiences, and knowledge Verbal and written communication skills Interpersonal skills Teamwork skills Organisational skills Time management skills IT skills Attention to detail Passion / interest / drive Could do speaking activity at some point in this class – match a candidate with the job as filler. But probably don’t need to. Students can spend second part of class doing their homework.
