 Tips for Your Resume

What To Include

Contact Information
The first section of your resume should include information on how the employer can contact you.
First Last Name
Street Address
City, State, ZIP
Phone (Cell/Home)
Email Address

Objective (optional)
What do you want to do? If you include this section, it should be a sentence or two about your employment
goals. A customized objective that describes why you are the perfect candidate for the job can help your resume
stand out from the competition.

Career Highlights / Qualifications / Profile (optional)

A customized section of your resume that lists key achievements, skills, traits, and experience relevant to the
position for which you are applying can serve dual purposes. It highlights your relevant experience and lets the
prospective employer know that you have taken the time to create a resume that shows how you are qualified
for the job.

Experience
This section of your resume includes your work history. List the companies you worked for, dates of
employment, the positions you held and a bulleted list of responsibilities and achievements.
Company #1
City, State
Dates Worked
Job Title
Responsibilities / Achievements
Company #2
City, State
Dates Worked
Job Title
Responsibilities / Achievements

Education
list the colleges you attended, the degrees you attained, and any special awards and honors you earned.
College, Degree
Awards, Honors

Skills
Include skills related to the position / career field that you are applying for e.g. computer skills, language skills.
17
References
There is no need to include references on your resume. Rather, have a separate list of references to give to
employers upon request.

Tips:
● Read the job description in the ad, paying special attention to keywords that describe the duties, skills,
and qualifications associated with the position. Then, match your experience and abilities to these
keywords, and emphasize them throughout your resume and cover letter.
● Review resume formats, and choose the best type of resume for your experience and the job to which
you’re applying. For example, if your work experience is a good fit for the role, a chronological resume
might be the best choice. On the other hand, if you’ve done a good deal of job hopping, or are looking
for work while unemployed, a functional resume might be a better option, as it focuses on skills over
linear employment history.
● Look at resume samples to see how to incorporate your resume template information into an
appropriate format.
● Consider using a Microsoft resume template, if you’re stuck getting started.
Download a free resume template to create your resume or use the templates available in Microsoft
Word.
● Keep it simple. Choose a basic font and a font size that’s readable. (In other words, this is not the time
to use fancy calligraphy fonts or to experiment with a lot of different font sizes). Make sure that your
formatting is consistent throughout your resume, cover letter, and other application materials.

 Tips for Job Interviews

Research the industry and company.

An interviewer may ask how you perceive his company's position in its industry, who the firm's competitors are,
what its competitive advantages are, and how it should best go forward. For this reason, avoid trying to
thoroughly research a dozen different industries. Focus your job search on just a few industries instead.

Clarify your "selling points" and the reasons you want the job.
Prepare to go into every interview with three to five key selling points in mind, such as what makes you the best
candidate for the position. Have an example of each selling point prepared ("I have good communication skills.
For example, I persuaded an entire group to ..."). And be prepared to tell the interviewer why you want that job
– including what interests you about it, what rewards it offers that you find valuable, and what abilities it
requires that you possess.

Anticipate the interviewer's concerns and reservations.

There are always more candidates for positions than there are openings. So interviewers look for ways to screen
people out. Put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself why they might not want to hire you and prepare your
defense.

Prepare for common interview questions.

Look over common interview questions and prepare your answers so you won't have to fumble for them during
the actual interview. Here are a few examples:

● Tell me about yourself..

● Where do you see yourself in five years?
● Why should we hire you?
● Why do you want to work here?
● What do you know about us?
● What is your greatest strength/greatest weakness?

Line up your questions for the interviewer.

Come to the interview with some intelligent questions for the interviewer that demonstrate your knowledge of
the company as well as your serious intent. Interviewers always ask if you have any questions, and no matter
what, you should have one or two ready. If you say, "No, not really," he or she may conclude that you're not all
that interested in the job or the company. A good all-purpose question is, "If you could design the ideal
candidate for this position from the ground up, what would he or she be like?"

Bring a copy of your resume to every interview.

Have a copy of your resume with you when you go to every interview. If the interviewer has misplaced his or
her copy, you'll save a lot of time if you can just pull your extra copy out and hand it over.

Arrive early and dress professionally

Be at the interview at least a few minutes early and wear professional attire.
