What is a Resume


Your resume is an individually designed summary of your personal, educational, and experiential qualifications.  It should be well organized and and presented in a manner that will interest potential employers. 

There are two different types of resumes.
The chronological resume has educational and employment history organized by date.  This resume works well for students who have progressive and related experiences within their field.

Functional resumes focus on skill sets gained through a variety of activities, such as educational course work, clubs and organizations, as well as internships and volunteer work.  This format works well for students who do not have much employment history or who have a work history that is not directly related to their career objective.

Quick Tips:
Send with a cover letter, in response to a specific position.
Keep it current, list your most recent accomplishments so the interviewer knows what you are capable of doing now.
Proofread, proofread, proofread - ensure there are no grammatical errors.
Don‘t be modest - This is your chance to shine, you are competing for this position!
