A resume is a concise business-style report that displays your job qualifications to a prospective employer. Typically, information is grouped under the six headings as shown below:
1. Heading
Include your name, address, phone number, and e-mail address. Don’t date the resume; it will then become obsolete more quickly that it otherwise would
2. Employment Objective
State your immediate work goal and the direction you hope your career will take
3. Education
List relevant facts of your college education. Note any academic honors such as a scholarship
4. Employment Experience
Highlight your full-time, part-time, volunteer, and summer work experience. Mention any promotions or raises you have received.
5. Professional Interests
Cite membership in professional organizations. In addition, note any special skills such as training in lifesaving or fluency in a foreign language
6. References
Indicate that they will be furnished on request
Some Tips
1.Capitalize the headings to make them stand out on the page
2.To condense information, use phrases and clauses rather than complete sentences
3.List your most recent education and employment experience first and then work backward so the employer can quickly gauge what you have done recently.
4.Don’t try to cram too much material onto the page. Ample white space is important.
