D. Discussion
The teacher will be discussing the resume, its structure, and the don’ts in resume writing.
A resume is a summary of one’s qualifications, educational background, and work experience relevant to a
particular job he/she is applying for. (Carey, 2012).
A resume is a written document that lists your work experiences, skills, and educational background
used as a marketing tool to “sell” yourself to the potential employer. (Foster, 2010).
These would help you organize the information you need to indicate as you market yourself to your
prospect employer. Note that resume has many parts, but in this lesson, we will include only the basic
ones.

Heading  Your name, address, telephone/cell phone number, e-mail address  Your name should be
in a large font and it should stand out from all the other texts.

Objective  One or two plainly stated sentences focusing on your goals for the job to which you are
applying, and how this will help you with your professional skills.

Education  Contains the name of school and its location, senior high school strand, inclusive years,
academic awards, and relevant recognitions.

Skills  Includes different skills you possess such as communication skills, computer or technical skills or
different computer operations system you know, and other skills related to the job you are applying for. (Do
not include skills that are irrelevant)

Work experience (If applicable)  Name of the company, your job title, inclusive years/months of
employment, number of years employed, and job accomplishments. This may include On-the-job training,
immersion, and the like.

Trainings (If applicable)  This includes Trainings/Seminars you have attended, the date you attended,
and the sponsoring organization

References  List of the contact persons who know you better but not related by blood and is available
upon request. The list includes their names, organization affiliated with, their position, and contact
number. Three contact persons are reasonable
Here are the things you have to avoid and is considered as DONT’s in resume writing:
 Do not lie- do not include information that is not true or do not falsify your documents.
 Do not tolerate typographical error- (this has something to do with mechanics in writing) this
reflects your personality, and this shows carelessness. Look for someone who is qualified to proofread and
edit your resume.
 Do not include unnecessary information- include only those that are relevant to the position/job you are
applying for.
 Do not use unreadable or distracting font style- choose font styles that are commonly used and acceptable
in professional writing.
 Do not photocopy résumé- invest in resume. Submit only the original one.
