Resume Preparation
closely match the job requirements. Activities, sports, and other types of
experience that require abilities, knowledge, and skills can be used when applying
for jobs.
To prepare a successful resume, you need to know how to review, summarize, and
present your experiences and achievements on one page. Outline your
achievements briefly and concisely. The best way to organize your resume is in a
format that highlights your qualifications.
Overview
Content
1. Name is at the top of the page: highlighted by slightly larger typesize, bolding,
and/or underlining.
2. Address and phone number(s) are complete and correct, with zip and area
codes, and are well palced relation to name.
4. Descriptions use active verbs, and verb tense is consistent; current job is in
present tense; past jobs are in past tense.
Format/Design
Now you're done! Just one more suggestion: If you are sending your resume to a
prospective employer, you'll probably also have to include a separate cover letter.
This is usually one page long. The letter indicates your interest in a particular
company or position, summarizes the most important aspects of your education
and experience, and lets the employer know where and when you can be contacted
for an interview.
Before writing a Resume take a rough copy of your work experience, skills,
extracurriculur activities. The resume should include the following:
Contact Information
Give contact phone numbers where you can be reached during business hours.
Beginning with the most recent, list schools and any workshops and training
attended. Degrees, certificates, and diplomas received should also be listed.
Indicate any specialty within your major, especially if the information fits the job.
Grade point averages should be included only if they can be considered assets. List
your high school education if you do not have post-high school training or if you
attended a prestigious school. New graduates without a lot of work experience
should list their educational information first.

Experience
Briefly give the employer an overview of work that has taught you skills. Include
your work experience in reverse chronological order that is, put your last job first
and work backward to your first, relevant job. Describe major duties concisely using
action words and simple English. Highlight specific accomplishments and results
such as problems solved and improvements. Emphasize tasks, skills, and specific
experiences that are required in the job for which you are applying. The projects
done by you can be given in this field. Highlight the project done relevant to the
applied job.
Chronological
To emphasize work experience, list jobs beginning with the most recent. Some
hints:
Extracurriculur activities
References
Ask people if they are willing to serve as references before you give their names to
a potential employer. Don't include the reference letter along with your resume but
mention "References furnished on request" in your resume.
Be sure your resume is clear, complete, concise, up-to-date, and factual. A resume
should look sharp and attractive and reflect an orderly mind. Run a spell check on
your computer before anyone sees your resume. Get a friend to do a grammar
review. Use bold or italics to highlight areas of your resume. A brief, well-written
resume takes time to prepare. Center or justify headings. Avoid using
abbreviations.
