Marian Hall 214 617-735-9930 careercenter@emmanuel.eduResume GuideWHAT IS A RESUME?A resume is your advertisement that presents information about your qualifications to prospective employers. Yourresume highlights your achievements and skills from previous and current academic, work or volunteer experience.The goals of a resume are: To pique the reader’s interest in meeting you To obtain an interview with an employer To market yourself as a strong candidateWHAT ARE THE NECESSARY INGREDIENTS OF A RESUME?At minimum, your resume should include the following components. There are additional headings that can be addedand are included on page 2. Contact information: Includes your name, address, phone number and e-mail.- Address: Always give your complete address. Be consistent with abbreviations throughout your resume (St.vs. Street). You can include both your permanent and current addresses if you would like but usually studentsuse their current school year address.- Telephone: Always include your phone number. This must be a number that you can use in private to discussjob interest or to schedule an interview. DON’T use your work phone number. ALWAYS put your area codeeven if you are applying in the same code location. Be sure that your voicemail message is professional.- E-mail: E-mail is one of the main forms of communication between job seekers and employers. Always listyour e-mail address. If you have two, list only your most regularly-used e-mail address. Consider creating an email address exclusively for your job search. Your e-mail address should be appropriate and professional. Education: State your education, school, degree and date achieved (or expected date) Employment/Work Experience: As a student, employers will most likely be expecting a chronological resume.Therefore, you should list your experience from most current to least current. Include paid, non-paid, andvolunteer experiences, so that you can market a variety of accomplishments and skills.- Job Title: Purpose is to provide a generic identification understood by all employers.- Company Name: Include name city and state only; there is no need for address or zip code.- Employment Dates: Use months and years (January 2010 – March 2012), seasons (Fall 2011, good forinternships), or simply years to de-emphasize short term or temporary employment (2011– 2012).- Responsibilities: This is the crucial part of your resume. Remain true but creative with your job descriptionto market your skills and their relevance to the prospective employer. Refer to actual job descriptions you mighthave from the past only as a guide; do not repeat them. Write any quantifiable achievements andaccomplishments, not just job duties. Each bullet point should start with an action verb and should describewhat you did, who it benefitted, and the outcome. This should be quantified when possible (i.e. Increased sales10% over a three month period)
ADDITIONAL HEADINGS Accreditation and licenses: List any certifications or licenses you may have that are relevant to the particularfield of interest. Rewards/Accomplishments: A continuation of the above so that you show achievements during your period oftime at a specific company or with a volunteer organization. Related Experience: Listing volunteer, service, or leadership positions that better relate to the types of positionsyou are currently applying. Skills: List any foreign languages (not English), computer or additional skills that are relevant to your area ofinterest. Professional Training: List if you have taken specific industry or occupational training/workshops. Publications: List if you have been a part of or assisted in any research or writing that was published. Other possible/optional sections: Achievements, Dean’s List, Academic Awards, Activities, Student Groups/Organizations, Community Service, Summary, QualificationsAdditional Considerations Presentation: Your resume is a marketing piece, and is typically the first point of contact for potential employers.It is essential that you follow the three C’s of resume writing - CLEAR, CONCISE AND CONSISTENT. Make sureto leave “white space” throughout your resume- do not pack it with information. Length: Your resume should not be more than one page in length, two pages maximum (unless you have morethan five years of full-time, professional work experience.) Font Style: The font you choose should be easily read and the same throughout. Choose a universally acceptedfont such as Times New Roman, Arial, Courier New, Tahoma, Verdana, Georgia, etc. Font Size: Can range between 10 and 12 points, 11 is good. Your name should be the largest item on your resumeand may be up to 20 points, 16 may be sufficient. Margins: The margins should not be more than 1 inch or less than .5 inches on the left and right and the top andbottom. Use margins to optimize the “white space” of your resume for better readability. Paper: When mailing or handing out your resume in person you should have it printed on white, off-white, orlight gray bond paper. The resume should be printed on laser printers for a more professional appearance. Style: Be consistent with titles and headings. If you choose your job title to be in italics then ALL job titles shouldbe italicized. If you choose your company name to be in bold then ALL company names should be bolded. Try notto underline too much; it does not allow for smooth reading. Language: Job descriptions, skills and accomplishments are most effective by using concise phrases. Do not writefull sentences. For all past employment, the past tense of verbs should be used. Begin each statement with anaction verb - do not begin sentences with “I”. Refer to “Resume ACTION Verbs” (page 3) for assistance. Electronic Resume: If you are attaching your resume to e-mail correspondence, consider converting the resumeto a .PDF file to preserve formatting. Be sure to include the title and/or job number in the subject line and nameclearly name the file (i.e. Smith-Jane-Resume). Include an abbreviated cover letter in the text of your email andindicate that you are attaching your resume and detailed cover letter. Regardless, be sure to follow submissioninstructions outlined by the employer. Scannable Resume: A scannable resume is one that is scanned by a computer for KEY WORDS relevant to thejob description. Therefore, it is important to learn buzz words and industry terms in your field of interest andinclude them in your resume to maximize your chances when scanning is used. Do not use fancy or elaboratefonts, bullets, underlining, bolding, or italics. Do not staple or otherwise alter your resume.BE SURE TO PROOFREAD YOUR RESUME TO MAKE SURE IT IS ERROR-FREE!2
