\"Resume<\/a>
A resume is your introduction note to your potential employer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It\u2019s a challenge to write a resume when just out of college or while in college. However, most employers know you may not have a lot of experience. A resume is your introduction note to your potential employer. Write it with consideration, great care, and with your career goals in mind. It\u2019s like marketing yourself-you showcase your achievements, skills, and qualifications that relate to the type of job you are looking for. The resume should have descriptions of your capabilities and achievements. Many students will be applying for the same position you are and, therefore, you have to make yours stand out from the rest. There are several things an employer is looking for on a resume:<\/p>\n

Resume appearance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first thing the employer will look at is the appearance of your resume. The poor appearance of your resume will have it thrown into the \u2018NO\u2019 pile in a minute. Make it a maximum of one page with clear font. Contact information should be easily readable. Include an official email address (one that contains your name and not fancy names like cutechick890), your permanent address, and your school address. If possible, put a permanent address that\u2019s close to the job location.<\/p>\n

Education<\/strong><\/p>\n

List education from your most recent, giving the exact degree attained. You can list relevant coursework completed if you have not had work experiences. This, however, should only be included if they are relevant to the job you are applying to.<\/p>\n

Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

Begin with the most recent job you had or are working at. Include the date you were employed, the company or employer, the title you held, and the location of the job. Write a list of accomplishments and responsibilities you had at these jobs. Include, if available, internships and volunteer positions if they relate to the job you are applying for. Include leadership roles you held, team projects, interests, and skills, if and only if they are relevant. If your GPA is greater than 3.0, you can include it too, but not necessarily.<\/p>\n

Proofread your resume.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get rid of mistakes in spelling, grammar style, and punctuation. Errors will also get you into the \u2018NO\u2019 pile, so make sure you rid your resume of them. Have someone go through it and help you edit. Make use of active verbs like \u2018designed,\u2019 \u2018created.\u2019 Avoid words like \u2018helped,\u2019 \u2018audited,\u2019 or \u2018assisted.\u2019 Be brief and concise.<\/p>\n

Be honest when writing about your achievements and skills. Only include those you have mastered.
