 Technical Writing
Technical writing is a form of communication that professionals use to convey
information about specialized topics. Technical writing is a writing discipline that
involves communicating complex information to those who need it to carry out a
specific task or achieve a certain goal. Because of this, technical writing is often
defined as “simplifying the complex.”

It involves creating documents to convey complex information from developers

to customers. According to the traditional definition, technical writing involves
creating documents specifically for professional audiences, such as research
papers, programming guidelines, and repair manuals. However, the field has
expanded to include all types of documentation, including technical reports,
executive summaries, and briefs.

Resume
A resume is a brief, informative summary
of your abilities, education, and
experience. It should highlight your
strongest assets and skills, and differentiate
you from other candidates
seeking similar positions. Although it alone
will not get you a job or internship, a good
resume is an important element toward
obtaining an interview.
Curriculum Vitae
Curriculu
m Vitae
A curriculum vitae (CV), Latin for “course of
life,” is a detailed professional document
highlighting one’s education, experience and
accomplishments. A CV may also include
your professional references, as well as
coursework, fieldwork, hobbies and interests
relevant to your profession.

You might also choose to add a personal

profile to your CV that lists your skills and
positive attributes to ensure employers have a
well-rounded view of your personality and
achievements.

The Three Main Resume Formats

1. Reverse-chronological
format

Traditional resume style, familiar to

potential employers. Focuses on
experience over skills. It’s perfect for
candidates who want to highlight their
work experience when building a resume
because it places it front and center. It’s
the ideal format for individuals with
consistent professional backgrounds and
no employment gaps.
The Three Main Resume Formats

2. Combination format

known as the hybrid resume, combines the

best of the functional and chronological
formats. This resume format allows you to
showcase your skills while also
highlighting your relevant work
experience. It’s an excellent choice for job
seekers with more than 10 years of
experience and those seeking to move up
in their careers.
The Three Main Resume Formats

3. Functional format

focuses on showcasing your skills and

training. It’s designed to highlight the
abilities that make you a valuable addition
to any team, even if you’re applying for
your first job or changing careers. This
format is especially beneficial for those
with employment gaps or limited work
experience.
 How Good Resumes are Written

The best way to begin writing your resume is do a self-

assessment. Think of past successes and achievements that you
have experienced and write them down. These could be related
to academics, volunteer activities or work experience and can
even include things like travel, hobbies or any life experience
where you learned and grew. Once you have finished
brainstorming, narrow down the points that you want to focus
on and prioritize them based on their applicability to qualities
an employer may find important. You don’t have to include
every single point on your resume; quality is always better than
quantity
 Sample Missteps in Writing a Resume

a. Unprofessional, cutesy email address.

b. The Statement of Objective is unprofessional and not workplace-relevant.
c. Time availability should not be included on a resume.
d. There are several typographical errors.
e. Uses unprofessional wordings (e.g., "awesome," "cool," "cute," "pics"), as well as
inappropriate clipart and exclamation points, which have no place in a resume.
f. Work history isn’t in order (jobs should be listed in reverse chronological order).
g. Descriptions of your past job duties are vague and they reflect negatively on your
service skills (e.g., "deal with annoying customer requests").
h. Includes information that doesn’t pertain to job skills (hobbies should only be listed
if they are highly related to the job for which one is applying) (ex. Eye color, height,
religion)
 Resume Fonts & Sizes
 The most common font to use is Times New Roman, in black and size 12 points.
 Other serif fonts (with tails) to consider that are easy to read include: Georgia, Bell
MT, Goudy Old Style, Garamond.
 Popular sans serif (no tails) fonts include: Arial, Tahoma, Century Gothic and
Lucida Sans.
 Any of the above fonts would be reasonable for a resume as long as you consistently
use one font only.
 Make your headings and name stand out, think of your resume like a blog post or
newspaper article.
 Make headlines bold, Italicize, capitalize or underline. And feel free to increase the
font size to 14-16 points.
 Try and keep your resume to one page, leave the reader wanting to know more.
 Resume Content
 Contact information. List your full name, address and contact information at the
top of the page. You should center the information and be sure to bold and
capitalize your name.
 Value statement. State the role you are applying for and what values you bring to
the job. Objectives state what you are trying to accomplish, value statements
explain why you should be hired.
 Core strength. List specific skill-sets that pertain to your job and industry. This is a
high level overview of your qualifications and knowledge.
 Experience. However, if education is not the strongest component of your resume,
go ahead and list your experience first, starting with your most current job and all
your responsibilities.
 Education. Clearly state your schooling from the most recent institution you’ve
attended, with all dates, locations and certification received.
 Honors & awards. After education and experience, you can list your professional
skills and any relevant awards or certifications.
 WRITING A RESUME OBJECTIVE

A resume objective is a statement of your goals for

employment, usually listed at the top of your resume. A
resume objective is typically one sentence long.

The most effective objective is one that is tailored to the

job you are applying for. It states what kind of career you
are seeking, and what skills and experiences you have that
make you ideal for that career.

development, I aim to become a highly effective project manager who
consistently delivers results and exceeds expectations.
