Creating a Resume

View as pdf, resume checklist, general considerations.

 Resumes should be kept to one or two full pages. Typically, college students and entry-level job seekers have a one-page resume.

 Resume font should be readable and stay within 10 to 14 points.

 Use consistent indentation, capitalization, font style, spacing, margins and abbreviations.

 Do not use personal pronouns (I, me, you, etc.).

 Avoid using resume templates; they may not interface well with other platforms.

 It is not necessary to include a list of professional references or the statement, “References Available Upon Request.” Your reference list should be a separate document.

 Remove any automatic hyperlinks.

 Phone number: create a professional outgoing message that lists your full name and time you will return their call.

 Include your LinkedIn or e-Portfolio address.

 For chronological resumes, list degrees in reverse chronological order (most recent listed first). You do not need to include your high school diploma once enrolled in college.

 Spell out names of degrees “Bachelor of Science”, “Master of Science”.

 List the month and year of your graduation. (i.e., if you are graduating in May 2020, write “May 2020”).

 Include GPA if it 3.0 or above or if it is specified on the job posting.

 Round the number up (i.e. 3.5, not 3.47)

Relevant Experience

 Use bullet points - brief, descriptive statements about your most important duties and accomplishments in both paid and unpaid roles.

 Use strong action words to describe your work experience. Avoid passive phrases such as “responsible for” and “duties included”. Eliminate personal pronouns (I, me, we) and articles (a, an, the).

 Make sure you include any communication skills that you used in the project or job such as writing a technical report, giving a presentation, or working in a team.

 Use appropriate verb tense. Use present tense action words to describe present employment experience and past tense action words to describe past employment experience.

Volunteer Experience

 Include volunteer experiences that showcase your communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills to show employers your well-rounded portfolio.

Additional Information

If there is room on your resume, feel free to include this additional information:

 Language skills: Are you fluent in multiple languages? Which ones?

 Military experience: Have you served in the military? If so, list the branch, your position, and any special training or education.

 Professional memberships and leadership positions: Have you attended any conferences/workshops/seminars? What were they? Where were they located?

 Certificates and licenses: Are you certified in first aid, CPR, mental health skills, etc.?

 Computer or technical skills: Do you know how to use any software that pertains to the position? How proficient are you with each program? **If you are applying for technology positions and have extensive computer skills, consider placing this section between the Education and Experience sections.**

 Class presentations/projects: Have you presented on a topic that may be important to the company?

Resume Formats

Which resume format is right for you.

There are three common resume formats: chronological, functional, and combination. Use this section to decide which is best for you. The Chronological Resume is the most commonly used.

Chronological Resume

Lists your work history in reverse order – starting with your current or most recent job first.

Easy to write. Emphasizes a steady employment record. Employers like to see job titles, dates of employment, and level of responsibility.

Disadvantage

Calls attention to any employment gaps. Skills can be difficult to spot.

To reemphasize past career growth and development in the same career.

Don't use if

There are multiple gaps in your work history or are entering the market after a long absence.

Functional Resume

Focuses on skills and strengths relevant to position and employer.

De-emphasizes a spotty work history. Allows you to highlight strengths and transferable skills.

No detailed work history. Disliked by many employers – document looks like you are hiding employment gaps, lack of relevant experience, or underemployment.

To emphasize transferable skills. Use this format if you have limited work experience or are changing careers.

You want to emphasize growth/development. Responsibilities in recent jobs were limited.

Combination Resume

Blends the flexibility and strength of the other two types of resumes

Shows off a strong employment record with upward mobility. Show the skills you have used in the past to apply to the job you are seeking.

Work history is lower on the page, which may not receive employer attention.

To show off your skills developed throughout your work history. Use when you are making a career change.

Your experience is limited, or there are wide gaps in your work history.
