Resumes

  • There is no one-way to write a resume.
  • A resume is an individualized marketing tool that is a testimonial of your accomplishments.
  • Think about the type(s) of jobs/positions that you are interested in pursuing.
  • Think about any relevant experience that you may have as it pertains to the position(s) that you are applying for.
  • Think about "targeting" your resume to the type(s) of jobs/positions you are applying for.
  • Think about looking at the resume from the "readers" point of view rather than the "writers" point of view.
  • Think about being thorough and detailed and try to be brief but concise. Be proud of your accomplishments but don’t brag about them. Use the "jargon" of the appropriate career field(s) but don’t become verbose.
