PURPOSE OF A RESUME
A resume serves as a prominent marketing tool highlighting key professional, educational and leadership
experiences. Resumes are utilized for various reasons including applying to internship, employment, volunteer
and on-campus opportunities. Further, resumes are used when cultivating professional relationships. A resume is
a fluid and adaptive document which should be updated constantly and tailored accordingly.

This guide is intended to serve as a comprehensive resource for Dartmouth students in developing a thorough
and well-written resume that best highlights you professionally. Please note that the samples are just that,
samples. Each of you will need to individualize your resume through the Dartmouth format to present the best
summary of your experiences, skills and knowledge competencies.

GETTING STARTED
Step 1: Create a list of all your experiences (professional, extra-curricular, civic engagement, athletics, etc.)
 Include Organization Name, Location, Dates of Involvement and your Title.
 First-year & Sophomore students: There can be a greater focus on high school experiences and
involvements.
 Juniors & Seniors: Begin to transition out high school information and have a primary focus on collegial
experiences.

Step 2: Responsibility overview and skill identification:

 Map out a thorough overview of your roles and responsibilities in each position.
 Determine what skill sets and qualities you utilized and developed through each of these roles.
 Identify and rank order your most significant accomplishments and contributions.

Step 3: Craft strong bullet points:

 Utilize ATOP: utilize an Action verb + Task/project + the Outcome/ Purpose when developing bullet
points.
 While it's important to provide enough description to establish context, responsibilities and role, make
sure that you focus on achievements and outcomes.
 Example: Collaborated with operations team to streamline order processing and reduce costs by 10%
annually.
Step 4: Create a Master Resume:
 Contains all experiences with bullet points listing all skills and/or responsibilities.
 Use as a framework when developing a targeted resume.

THE DO'S & DON'TS OF A RESUME

There are many forms of advice that you will get when writing a resume. Below are a list of common do's and
don'ts when writing your resume. It is important that you develop a detailed, yet succinct, document outlining
your key accomplishments, skills and qualities, in your own voice.

THE DO'S:
CONTENT
 Be concise, focus on your accomplishments and contributions opposed to listing your overall role
and responsibilities.
 Include your GPA on your resume if it is a 3.00 or above; SATs/ACTs only when requested.
 Only include "Relevant Coursework" on your resume if particular courses are applicable to the use
of your resume.
 When developing experience sections, only utilize a "Relevant Experience" section if your
experience is relevant to the specific position(s) in which you are applying for.
 Quantify experiences, i.e. "Increased student membership by ~30% through innovative recruitment
efforts…".
 ATOP = utilize an Action verb + Task/project + the Outcome/ Purpose when developing bullet
points.
 If you include an Academic Citation, have it read: "Citation for Academic Excellence in XXX" under
your Education section.
 Utilize key action verbs (see pages 9 & 10) when developing bullet points for experiences.

FORMAT
 Bullet key accomplishments and contributions focusing on outcomes in experience section(s).
 Current experiences will have present tense action verbs, past/prior experiences will have past
tense verbs.
 Margins should be between 0.50 – 1.0 inch.
 Choose a popular font type, such as Helvetica, Times New Roman, Arial or Calibri and size should
be between 10 – 12 pt. fonts.
 Your name should be in slightly larger, bold font (14 – 18 pt. font) & put in a Header with contact
information.
 Experience sections must be in reverse chronological order with most recent and present roles first.
 CONSISTENCY is key: Utilize the same font type, sizes and formatting throughout the document.
 Most often: keep your resume to one page (exceptions for Education and Public Sector resumes).
 Review your resume thoroughly for spelling and grammatical mistakes.

PROCESS
 Determine the purpose of your resume i.e. applying for a campus job, a summer term internship,
leadership position.
 Have two people review your resume before submitting.
 Save as a PDF when submitting your document online or through email to insure the formatting
stays the same.
 5

THE DON'TS:
 Do not stop with description alone – be sure to focus on key achievements and outcomes as well.
 Be aware of Dartmouth lingo and don't use words like "blitz" as it's not commonly known outside
of Dartmouth.
 Don't use "I, me or my" or "duties included/responsible for" statements when developing bullet
points.
 Don't include a "References available upon request" at the bottom of your resume.
 Don't specify whether positions were paid or unpaid.
 Don't include personal information, physical characteristics and photos of yourself (exception:
certain arts/entertainment positions).
 Don't have an "Objective" statement at the top of your resume.

TIPS FOR INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC RESUMES

When developing your resume for a specific industry there are particular areas that you will need to focus on
from content, skill development and structure. Below are a few industry-specific tips:

Arts/Entertainment:
 Acting Resumes – require personal characteristics in order for Casting Director to determine physical
fit for the role.
 Most Arts/Entertainment resumes want to see what work has been done; therefore, it is more of a
listing of works completed as opposed to a narrative of skills developed.
 For the Business/Office side of the industry, follow the standard resume procedure.

Education:
 Two page resumes are acceptable to document the experiences you have had to interact with age-
appropriate individuals and/or opportunities to teach in any setting (One exception: Carney Sandoe,
an educational recruiting firm who regularly seeks candidates from Dartmouth wants a one page
resume).
 Educational Portfolios should be created (include teaching materials created; learning
outcomes/rubrics utilized) and link to resume.

Computer Science/Engineering/STEM:
 Technical projects and research experience should be well documented.
 Descriptions should include the purpose and impact of the work in layman's terms.
 Specific skills and coursework should be listed if relevant to position. When discussing skills, provide
level of proficiency – don't say you have advanced skills if you don't.

Public Sector (Government):

 Explicitly state how you meet the hiring criteria.
 Pay special attention to what's included in "Specialized Experience" statements & "Qualifications".
 Assertions are checked against your resume; therefore, anything you say has to be backed up very
explicitly on the resume, readers are not allowed to assume anything.
 Can be as long as 2 to 2 ½ pages.
 Include times frames; short narrative vignettes; outcomes, etc.
o "Led Ivy Council for 12 months through innovative program, leading to a saving of $950.00"
 6

 Legally required to review in totality; however, are reviewed by Human Resources professionals NOT
individuals in the job. Therefore you need to be very clear as to how you meet the hiring criteria.
 Include everything you do at Dartmouth College, both paid & unpaid.
 Include coursework where possible to explain your major (i.e. CIA requires specific content
knowledge).

International/Global:
 Postings for International opportunities will often request a CV. It's common practice that the
document be the same as a domestic resume; however, reach out and ask the contact person.

TYPES OF RESUMES
Chronological (most-common)
 Most familiar and commonly used template for employers and Dartmouth students.
 Presents information in reverse chronological order (most recent experiences first).
 Focuses on experiences sections through descriptive bullet points outlining your accomplishments and
contributions.

Targeted
 Target your experiences and skills sets to the purpose of your resume – a job/internship application;
networking/Informational interviews; job shadows, etc.
 Review the organization's website and position description to gauge key skills and keywords they use
to integrate in your resume.
 Follow the chronological resume format.

E-Resume ("Ugly" resume)

 Used when submitting through a company website or to a generic email.
 Change current resume to a text file (.txt); take "pretty" resume to interviews.
 Remove all formatting, such as tables, bullets, underlining, bold and italics.
 Use a 10 – 14 point font such as Helvetica, Arial or Times New Roman.
 Left justify the entire document; use spaces or dashes to emphasize important information.
 Use strong keywords from the posting.
 When emailing, paste E-Resume into email form itself in text mode.

Curriculum Vitae (CV)

 Most commonly used in academic settings or for science research.
 CV's can be several pages in length and will often follow a similar flow to a chronological resume.
 Depending on the country, they may utilize the term CV but it is really intended to be a resume (1 – 2
pages maximum).

International
 If seeking international opportunities, it is important to understand the different cultural hiring
expectations for a resume. Certain style, content, language, etc. can differ when developing a resume.
