Notes de l'éditeur
- Who already has a resume? Who has one but it could use updating? Is it targeted to a specific job?
- We have a lot to cover today, the overall goal is to get you started on a new modern looking resume not something outdated and boring
- If your resume is wall-to-wall text featuring five different fonts, it will most likely give the employer a headache.
- Q: How can a job seeker best tailor his or her résumé to fit a particular career area or job? When employers do not know what you are like, the presentation of your resume will reflect on you and the potential work they can expect from you.
- Be consistent as to the entire look of the page. If your headings are inBold Type, then all headings should be in bold. Follow a uniform format.To save in plain text:In Microsoft Word, go to Save As and save the file in text only format.
- Organizing information incorrectly could cost you a shot at an interview, and is a very common mistake made by job seekers. Objectives are outdated. Generally, if you have a cover letter you do not need an objective. However, you should write a summary. A Summary Statement to introduce your resume can quickly and effectively brand yourself to a prospective employer. This is often the first item read, so get to the point - Why should they hire you, essentially?Don’tuse a silly email address. Try to use your name, it looks more professional, and it’s easier to remember.
- If you’re looking for work now, try and find some groups, clubs, extra curricular activities or volunteer opportunities…it’s never too late to add to your experience!
- Action phrases will help you avoid being too brief and from understanding your qualifications. See the handout for a chart of action words.Avoid repeating the same action verb
- At this point, students should be able to start transferring information from their worksheet into a resume. Stress that content is more important than format. Formatting can come later.
- Now you are ready to use all the data you have gathered and prepare the information about your experience, school activities and achievements into a one-page skills résumé.
- Sell yourself! Create a good first impression by highlighting skills and abilities appropriate to the position. If you don’t sell yourself, your resume will stay in the pile with all of the others. Separate Yourself from the pack! Employers will pick up on the untruths when they interview you.
