WHAT IS A RESUME?
A resume is a printed summary of your employment qualifications. It should include
your skills, education, employment history and any other information which would give
an employer a favorable impression of you. The writing of your professional resume
should be well-planned and carefully considered since it will be the first contact that a
potential employer has with you. Remember: The goal of the resume is to get you
an interview. Here are a few suggestions to help you outline your resume.
HEADING:
A resume should always include your name, current address, phone number where an
employer can reach you, and an e-mail address that is professional. Avoid using an
email address that conveys the wrong impression to an employer.
WHAT COMES NEXT?
This depends upon who you are and what you have accomplished in your life. Try
choosing one of the following situations which best describes you; a current college
student and or recent graduate, an experienced job seeker
FOR A STUDENT OR RECENT GRADUATE OR CERTIFICATE RECIPIENT:
A profile which reflects your employment objective is a good eye catcher. Some
areas of interest might include



Computer skills including all hardware, software packages and applications and
certifications
Foreign language fluency, if applicable
Any keywords which are applicable to your objective (keywords are found in job
postings, also consider skills and personal qualities that you can offer an
employer)
Next, your education should be highlighted. Included in this information should be:
 Name of educational or graduating institution, city and state
 Name and date of degree or certificate. If you are writing your resume early, list
pending graduation/certificate date if it will occur within a year. If longer put
“Pursuing an Associate Degree in (your major)” with no expected graduation date
given.
 Related course work
 G.P.A. (if 3.0 or better)
 Honors, awards and scholarships. Also mention if you financed your education
through employment.
2
Your experience, listed in reverse chronological order, should include any jobs you held
throughout college, co-ops or internships and, if applicable, volunteer activities. Here
are some tips for listing your experience:





Name of organization, city and state
Your title – can be bolded
Dates of employment. Include month and year for recent work
Several action phrases which describe your primary duties (see action verb list)
Accomplishments and achievements in the position
An additional listing may be interests or activities and include sports or club
memberships with positions or offices held and detailing special events or projects
undertaken. It is best not to list political or religious affiliations.
Keep in mind that any unrelated jobs held throughout school are important to an
employer who is considering hiring you. All types of jobs demonstrate responsibility
and some type of skill-building opportunities.
EXPERIENCED JOB SEEKERS:
If you fall into this category, it is beneficial to begin with a career summary. This
category may include:
 Areas of proficiency/skills
 Highlights of specific, job-related accomplishments
 Certifications
 Company awards and promotions
Next, describe your professional experience in reverse chronological order, listing your
responsibilities in action phrases. A word of caution: If listing multiple positions, do not
duplicate responsibilities as this sounds redundant. If you held the same position with
several organizations, you might consider listing titles only with the dates.
Your education should be listed after your experience, naming the type of
degree/certification and the date of graduation/completion. The name of the institution,
city and state should also be listed. Experienced job seekers need not elaborate upon
this category.
Optional areas (depending on remaining space) which are sometimes of interest to
employers include community service and professional affiliations (see list of Do’s
and Don’ts for further information).
3
CAREER CHANGERS AND WORKFORCE RE-ENTRY INDIVIDUALS:
This category addresses those of you who have gained experience in a field different
from your current career objective and those of you who have been out of the workforce
for several or many years. For both groups be certain to include a list of skills that are
applicable to your current goal. For instance:
- If you have been a human service worker for a number of years and you currently
desire to work in a corporate environment, your list of accomplishments should include
any budgetary, supervisory, or project team experience which you gained in your
former field. Think carefully about the types of skills which are marketable in the
desired workplace.
- If you have been out of the workforce for longer than two years, you need to
demonstrate to a prospective employer that you have utilized your time productively.
List the skills that you have gained during time spent working with community groups
and in volunteer functions. Pay particular attention to the most responsible tasks such
as organizing your neighborhood town watch or implementing a fundraising event.
Additionally, consider using a skill based resume to highlight your skills.
Choose and prioritize three skills that are relevant to the position you are seeking and
provide examples for each based on your experience. The advantage to this type of format is
that the dates of employment are not as noticeable. A sample is provided.

RESUME WRITING GUIDELINES FOR EVERYONE:
DO...
 Use graphics and print that are easy on the reader’s eyes

Highlight headings and titles by printing in bold and/or CAPS; avoid italics

Use outline form rather than sentences and do not use the pronoun “I”

Keep it brief - one page is recommended for entry-level positions; no more than two
pages for mid and upper-level positions

Be certain it is grammatically correct and contains no typographical errors (it is a
good idea to ask several people to proofread your resume)

Use margins which are no more than 1.25 inches wide

Use action verbs to describe job responsibilities

Be clear, concise and direct

Include a personalized cover letter with each resume (see sample)

Create separate resumes if you have separate objectives
DON’T...

Include personal data such as age, height, or marital status

State salary requirements

Abbreviate (except the name of states)

List references. Include them on a separate page and submit when requested.

Use print that is too small (under 10 pt.) or too fancy

Include any information which you cannot discuss at length in an interview

Include any information which has religious or political overtones
REMEMBER: No two resumes are identical. Job seekers should customize their
resumes to highlight their unique experiences. The following pages include a list of
Action Verbs, a Sample Cover Letter and Sample Resumes to help you stimulate ideas.
GO TO IT, AND GOOD LUCK!

THE CUSTOM COVER LETTER
A personalized, typed letter should accompany each resume you mail out. This cover
letter serves to highlight the information in a way that relates it directly to the needs of
the specific employer. It takes your resume out of the junk mail category. Some rules:
-
Address it to the person who could make the hiring decision.
-
In the opening sentence say something that indicates that this letter was written
specifically to that company (“I understand that ABC Corp. is expanding its
marketing department.”)
-
Show that you are interested and able to contribute to a possible solution or need of
the employer. For example: “My training/certification in (name academic or training
specialty), and my interest/experience in working in (name area of experience) will
be an asset to ABC Corp.
-
Ask for an interview (“I would like the opportunity to speak with you in person
concerning my qualifications for the position. I will call you next Tuesday for an
appointment.”)
RESPONDING TO A BLIND AD
Sometimes it is not possible to research hiring personnel, particularly if you are
answering a classified advertisement with a PO Box listing. If this is the case, the inside
address should still include a title such as Personnel Manager or Human Resource
Manager. The body of the letter should be tailored to meet the qualifications of the ad in
addition to stressing your interest and enthusiasm.
Be certain to close the letter with a statement which will prompt a phone call from the
employer, since most blind ads do not include phone numbers (“I hope to hear from you
at your earliest convenience.”)
COVER LETTER POWER PHRASES
Consider using adaptations of these key phrases in your cover letters:
“I believe that I am particularly well qualified for your position because …”
“I am confident that with my abilities (be specific) I can make an immediate and valuable
contribution to your company.”
“Your ad captured my attention.”
“The skills you require match my professional strengths.”
“I welcome challenges and feel that my experience and skills are easily transferrable.”
“I have highlighted some of my achievements which relate to your requirements…”

Dear Mr. Employer:
First Paragraph - Arouse interest. Tell why you are writing; name the position for
which you are applying and tell how you heard of the opening. If someone referred you
to this opening, mention their name.
Middle Paragraph(s) - Create desire. Give details of your background that will show
the reader why he/she should consider you as a candidate. If you have a description of
the job requirements, try to match your skills and background to these requirements as
much as you can. Be as specific as possible about the kind of job you want. Refer the
reader to your general qualifications on your enclosed resume or other material.
Last Paragraph - Ask for action. Have an appropriate closing to pave the way for the
interview by giving your phone number or by offering some similar suggestion of an
immediate and favorable reply.
Sincerely,
YOUR SIGNATURE (4 spaces)

Dear Ms. Smith:
I am writing to apply for the management trainee position which appeared in last
Sunday’s Philadelphia Inquirer. With an Associate degree in Retail Management and
extensive retail experience, I am certain that I could make a positive contribution to your
store.

summers in a large department store. With over 1500 hours of in-store retail
experience, I have learned many practical aspects of retail management including
customer service, inventory selection, and promotional events. Additionally, my ability
to learn quickly and my demonstrated commitment to hard work should prove to be an
asset to your company.

free to call me at 555-555-5555 (home) or 555-555-5500 (cell) to arrange an interview.
