What is a Resumé?
One of the most important documents that you
will ever have to produce in your lifetime is the resumé.
A resumé is a record of both your personal
background and accomplishments which employers
need in order to evaluate whether you are qualified
for a particular job or not.
Ideally, the information included in the resumé
should be truthful and accurate. Fabricating one’s
accomplishments or withholding previous
employment information is a resumé may be
considered as serious offenses and may result in the
dismissal of the employee should the employer find
out about these falsifications.
In general, there are two ways of presenting
information in a resumé. It may either be in
chronological order and reverse chronological
order.
 Chronological order- they are arranged
according to which one was carried out first.
(eg. Elementary-College)
 Reverse chronological order- the first one
to appear in the resume is latest
accomplishment going back to the first one
was carried out first. (eg. College-
Elementary)
Basic Parts of a Resumé
1. Name and Contact Information- Your contact
information section should include your name,
phone number, and email address. Depending on the
type of job you are applying for, you might also
include a link to an online portfolio or professional
website.
2. Resume Summary or Objective- Your resumé
summary or objective should be a short, one to two
sentence section that briefly explains who you are
and why you’re qualified. Carefully review the job
posting for clues on which of your technical and soft
skills will be most important and relevant.
3. Education- The resumé education section is helpful
for employers who require a certain degree,
certificate or level of experience. You should include
your most recent and relevant education based on
your level of experience.
4. Professional History or Experience- this is an
opportunity to showcase the value you’ve brought to
former employers. Here, you should list all of your
most relevant work experiences, beginning with
your most recent job.
Alternatively, if you have little to no job
have had, even if it does not seem completely
relevant or related. Potential employers can use that
experience to get an idea of what kind of worker you
might be, as some of the valuable soft skills you
learned at an unrelated job are likely transferable to
a new job and industry. You can also list experiences
you might have had in clubs or volunteer
organizations here, especially if you held office or
had many responsibilities.
5. List of relevant skills, tools and certifications-
should include relevant technical or hard skills and
soft skills. You can include any tools you’ve
mastered or certifications you’ve obtained as well.
The skills you include should be relevant to
the job that interests you. For example, you may
have excellent hard skills in different areas, but all of
those skills may not be applicable to the job. If you
are a skilled violinist, that may not be a good skill to
put on your resume when applying for a job in
construction.

in your resumé

 Training or continuing education
 Special awards or commendations
 Testimonials from clients
 Job performance reviews
 Hobbies

 Charity or volunteer work

POSITION PAPER
WRITING THE POSITION PAPER
WHAT IS A POSITION PAPER?
• A position paper is an essay that expresses a
position on an issue. It gives arguments that
support the opinion of the writer based on the
facts collected.
• The main objective of writing a position paper is
to take part in a larger debate by stating your
arguments and proposed course of action.
WHAT IS A MANIFESTO?
• Is a document or letter publicly declaring the
position or program of its issuer.

 Both position papers and manifestos are written
documents that express and communicate a
specific viewpoint or set of beliefs, but they are
typically used in different contexts and serve
different purposes.
 Position papers are generally more focused on
specific issues and are used in professional or
academic settings, whereas manifestos tend to
encompass broader principles and are often
associated with social, political, or artistic
movements.
2. STATISTICAL INFERENCES
 Interpretation and examples of an
accumulation of facts
3. INFORMED OPINION
 Opinion developed through research and/or
expertise of the claim
4. PERSONAL TESTIMONY
 Personal experience related by a
knowledgeable party.
• In every claim, there is always a counterclaim.
A counterclaim is just the opposite of a claim.
• Counterclaims are also provable and
supportable by reasons and evidence.

A POSITION PAPER HAS THE FOLLOWING

PARTS:
INTRODUCTION
• Introduce the issue, provide history or
background of the issue on hand.
• Provide general statement of your stand through
a thesis statement.
BODY
• State your arguments on your stand about the
issue.
• Provide strong evidence (statistics, interviews
with experts, testimonies).
• Provide counterarguments against possible
weaknesses of your arguments.
CONCLUSION
• Restate your claim or stand of an issue.
• Suggest a course of action.
• End with a powerful call for action (quotation,
challenge or question).
WRITING A POSITION PAPER AND DEFENDING A
STANCE ON AN ISSUE
• You have learned that a position paper presents
an arguable opinion about an issue. Your goal as
the writer is to convince the audience that your
opinion or stand or claim is valid and worth
listening to. It is important to support your
argument or reason with evidence to ensure the
validity of your claims.
The best way to defend your stand is to provide
supporting evidence which includes the following:
1. FACTUAL KNOWLEDE
 Information that is verifiable and agreed
upon by almost everyone
