GOALS – SKILLS – STRENGTHS – ACCOMPLISHMENTS – INTERESTS = BRAND

What is a resume? A resume is a marketing document that promotes a product, and that product is YOU! It highlights

your academic, professional and extracurricular accomplishments. It is written to the future, targeted to your career

goals, and clearly explains how your education and work experience has qualified you for your next step.

If done right, it provides insight into your strengths, accomplishments and goals. This critical component is your BRAND

– what makes you unique and what qualities and skills you bring to the employer.

It is important that you know what your brand is and that your message is consistent in your resume, Linkedin profile,

interview and while networking. Your resume is one of the most important tools in your job search toolbox and is often

the first step in career development and career readiness.

A strong resume immediately grabs the attention of the reader. A strong resume convinces employers to call you in for

an interview. A strong resume proactively answers the question: Why should we hire you?

STEP 1: Clarify your career goals and identify your skills, strengths, accomplishments and relevant interests.

STEP 2: Organize the information and use strong verbs and active voice to maximize impact.

STEP 3: Create a resume that is aesthetically pleasing, concise, error-free, and easy to read.

This workbook will help you create a strong resume.

Review the tips and examples as you prepare to write your own unique resume.

 “I don’t have a lot of experience.”

 “I don’t have any relevant experience.”

 “My experience is from another country.”

 “My resume has time gaps.”

 “I’m not in any clubs/student orgs.”

 “My GPA is not very good.”

Have no fear! This guidebook is chock full of solid advice for any job seeker regardless of their level of experience or

career goals. Here are a few ways to show employers that you are a well-qualified candidate:

 Volunteer and meet people, develop hard and soft skills, and gain exposure to and knowledge of your target

industry and/or field of work.

 Join an Organization (on/off campus) – Expose yourself to people and information in a particular industry and

expand upon what you learn in school. Go one step further and join a committee or run for President, Vice

President, Secretary, or Treasurer – beef up your leadership skills and grow your professional network.

 Take an elective course in an area of interest.

 Read the newspaper, trade journals, blogs, press releases, and books—stay abreast of current industry trends!

 List academic courses and class projects to demonstrate your knowledge and interest. Include both your

technical and language skills as well as any relevant additional skills.

 Emphasize accomplishments and why your accomplishments set you apart from other job seekers.

Introduction

Common Concerns of Resume Writing

Resume Styles

REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL

In this most commonly used style, experience and education are listed in reverse chronological order (most

recent items first).

Advantages

Preferred by the vast majority of employers

Highlights employer name, job titles and job responsibilities for each position

Emphasizes continuity and career growth

Easy to follow

Best Used

When career direction is clear and can be highlighted

By entry level as well as experienced students who have a fairly steady, conventional work

history

Hints

Begin work experience section of your resume with present or most recent position and work

backward.

Detail only the last four or five positions or relevant employment within the past ten years, if

not repeated in the most recent experience.

Note major position changes with a particular employer. Show progression of

responsibilities.

Emphasize major accomplishments and responsibilities which relate directly or indirectly to

your job objective. Quantify where possible.

FUNCTIONAL

This style highlights major accomplishments and strengths and allows you to organize them in an order that

best supports your work objective and job targets. Actual work history is listed at the bottom of this style

resume. Caution: Some employers dislike the functional resume.

Advantages

Gives considerable flexibility in emphasis

Eliminates repetition of job assignments

Tends to de-emphasize work history and stresses skills needed for new position

Best Used

In career changes or re-entry into the job market

When experience is limited or when you wish to emphasize a particular strength or skill

When you have lengthy gaps of time between jobs

When you have had several jobs with similar responsibilities

Hints

Use three or four separate categories, each one highlighting a particular area of expertise, skill

or knowledge, targeted to the type of job you are seeking

List functional categories in order of importance, with the area most related to your job

objective first.

REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL FORMAT

This is the most commonly used style.

List experience and education in reverse chronological order (most recent items first).

Advantages

 Preferred by the vast majority of employers

 Highlights employer name, job titles, job responsibilities, and achievements for each position

 Emphasizes continuity and career growth

 Easy to follow

Best Used…

 When career direction is clear and can be highlighted

 By entry-level or experienced students who have a fairly steady, conventional work history

Tips

 Emphasize the relevant and de-emphasize the irrelevant. Target your resume towards your current career goal

and write to how each position has qualified you for your next step. Mimic the keywords in the job posting.

 Begin work experience section with present or most recent position and work backward

 Emphasize how well you did your job. Resumes should be skill and accomplishment driven, not task driven

 Focus primarily on your most recent ten years of experience

 Note major position changes (showing progress) with a particular employer

 Quantify (#, $, %) your accomplishment wherever possible

FUNCTIONAL FORMAT

This is a less commonly-used style and is for job seekers with specific needs.

Emphasize your major accomplishments, strengths, and skills—not your work history.

Some employers dislike this style because it does not list work history and progress as clearly.

Advantages

 Focuses on the skills needed for new position, instead of work history

 Gives considerable flexibility

Best Used…

 For career changers or those reentering the job market

 When experience is limited or when you wish to emphasize a particular strength or skill

 When you have lengthy gaps of time between jobs

 When you have had several jobs with similar responsibilities

Hints

 NOTE – this format is rarely recommended – recruiters may suspect you are hiding something

 Discuss this format with you career counselors before you use this style for your resume

 Group your skills and/or areas of expertise into 2-4 categories such as “Leadership” and “Technical”

 List categories in order of importance and relevance

Page 4

1. Write to the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) AND to Human Resources / Hiring Manager. The ATS is the computer screen

that a resume must get past when applying through a job board or an employer website.

DO USE:

 .doc / .docx when submitting your resume online

 Simple fonts (Calibri, Cambria, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Georgia)

 Bullets (not symbols *, +, -)

 Left align your college, company names and job titles; right align dates (set with right tab)

 Dates = May 2014-June 2015; 05/2014-06/2015; 05/14-06/15 all are fine

 Basic language for: Education, Work Experience, Skills, etc.

 Acronyms and spell out: Applicant Tracking System (ATS)

 Your most relevant and marketable skills, experiences, and accomplishments

 Brief, concise, and achievement-oriented bullets

 Bullet points, action words, and an active voice—write your resume in the “Implied First Person” voice

 Correct verb tenses (current job=present tense; past jobs = past tense) and keep formatting consistent

 Proofread! Check for grammar, spelling and formatting errors

 Pack your resume with relevant Keywords!

DO NOT USE:

 .pdf unless attaching a resume to an e-mail (or when specifically instructed)

 Italics or underline

 Lengthy, dense text

 Text boxes, Templates, Headers or Footers

 Graphics, logos, charts or columns

 Fancy Headings (Academic Achievements)

 ’14-’15

 Only “spell check”—it doesn’t catch everything (E.g., form vs. from)

 Your age, birthday, sexual orientation, marital status or religion, NO photograph

 Personal pronouns (I, me my)

 References/supervisors (Tip: Create a separate references page)

2. Write to the Human Being (HR and Hiring Manager):

 1 page resume with even borders (.5 – 1”)

 Font size 10pt – 12pt

 Consistent in structure and formatting

 Top loaded – make sure your strengths are clear and on the top half of the page and your most impressive bullets

are the first bullets in each section

 Accomplishment driven bullets – quantify when possible (#, $, %)

 Easily scanned – categories are well defined and your accomplishments / strengths are easy to identify

 Use ALL CAPS, Small Caps and Bold for emphasis

 Use borders or white space to define categories

 Write to the future – focus on your immediate career goal

 Emphasize the relevant that supports your career goal and de-emphasize the irrelevant (Don’t write about your

waiter skills unless you want to be a waiter – write about the transferable skills you gained in this job)

 Your resume needs to be focused and tell the story of how your background (education and work experience)

qualifies you for your targeted next step.

3. Identify Keywords and Phrases!

 Find a few job postings (Indeed.com) that you like and feel that you meet the qualifications

 Go to jobscan.co and copy/paste the job posting (duties and qualifications) and your resume, and SCAN

 Use the Keywords reports and sprinkle these words (hard skills and soft skills) and phrases all over your resume

(when applicable and you have the experience)

Transferable Skills

Skills Employers Need

NACE* conducts an annual survey asking employers to describe the “ideal

candidate.” They compare the employers’ “wish list” of skills with those

new graduates—how do you measure up?

A good GPA is important, but employers look for more than good academic

standing. In fact, year after year, the #1 skill employers say they want to see

in job candidates is strong communication skills: the ability to write and

speak clearly.

Employers also want new hires that are honest, work well in teams, and

have a strong work ethic.

What College Candidates Lack

“Communication” annually tops employers’ list of most-desired skills, but is

also on their list of skills that new graduates lack the most!

Many employers reported that students have trouble with grammar,

cannot communicate in writing clearly, and are poor public speakers. Weak

communication skills are often evident in the interview, where students are

unable to articulate, as one employer said, “what they have done and why

it matters.”

In addition, employers pointed to other skills and attributes that had made

their “wish list”, but that new graduates lacked, including conducting

oneself in a professional manner.

Gain Experience

Translation? You need some real-world experience before graduation.

You won’t learn everything about the workplace with an internship, but you

can continuously build, improve upon, and practically apply many of the

skills employers need.

What skills do you need to gain or beef up?

Hard, Soft & Transferable Skills

Hard Skill – Specific, teachable abilities that can be defined and measured

(e.g., Excel, Quantitative Analysis)

Soft Skill – Less tangible, harder to quantify skills (e.g., Team-player,

Flexibility, Confidence)

Transferable Skills – Skills that are non-position/industry specific (e.g.,

Communication, Multi-tasking)

After identifying and grouping your specific skills into Hard, Soft and

Transferable, find examples from your academic and professional life that

prove it. Quantify (#, $, %) your accomplishments whenever possible – it

will increase your credibility.
