What is RESUME?
Resume
- Is a formal document that a job applicant creates to itemize their
qualifications for a position.
- Resume gives the background and profile of an applicant.
- It summarizes your skills, educational background, experiences,
and other qualifications.
- It is a form of advertisement, designed to help get an interview.
- It is a highly valuable tool to accompany a letter of application.
Resume Content
Education (required)
- Include your full name, permanent or temporary address,
phone number with area code, as well as your email address,
at the top of one's resume, so that it STANDS OUT.
Objective Statement (optional)
- A job objective should state what the applicant wants to do,
the position he/she is interested in and should be
employer - focused.
Resume Content
Summary or Profile (optional)

- A summary includes a three or four bulleted statements
highlighting one's skills, enticing the reader to look at the rest
of the resume. It supports the objective. Quantify the
statements whenever possible.
Resume Content
- The next section is the education background if it's more
noteworthy that one's work experience. Include the name
and location of the school, dates of attendance, major
field of study, and degrees received. Include the grades if
it is above average or only show the general average grades
from the major subjects (usually, these are high grades), can
be highlighted.
Resume Content
- Include any scholarships, awards or academic achievements
received. Include also off- campus training, relevant seminars
or workshop attended, certificates or other documents
received. As much as possible do not include the secondary
and elementary education in the resume, especially if he/she
has already worked in the chosen field.
Resume Content
Work Experience
- If one's experience is significant and relevant to the position
sought, this information should appear before education.
- This is an important qualification in itself that employers
would see that the applicant can get and hold a job. The
applicant should be honest with the job he/she has held;
most employers conduct candidate's backgrounds, so
inaccuracy is bound to show in the future.
Resume Content
Relevant Skills
- Include computer skills, communication skill and language skills.
Be specific here. If you can read, but not speak a language, do
not claim proficiency.

"reading foreign affairs. Such information is quite useful to come
employers when personal qualities are related to the job.

should be on a separate paper. Include three references and
