How do I write a resume?

What Is a Resume?
An excellent resume is essential in a job search. Think of it as a tool. Its primary function is to get you an interview. It should succinctly summarize your qualifications and experience and make the employer interested in finding out more about you. In combination with a strong cover letter and appropriate personal contact, a well-written resume will help you to get an interview. Prepare your resume thoughtfully. It needs to sound good, and it needs to look perfect.

A Few Guidelines:
  • Your resume should be tailored to the type of position for which you are applying. The more specifically you tailor your resume, the more clearly it will communicate that you are the one for the job. Emphasize your education, experience, and the skills that are particularly relevant to the position. Don't hesitate to revise your resume to suit different employers.
  • Your resume should accurately reflect your experience, education, and qualifications. Promote yourself. Be truthful. It is important that you feel confident about everything you include on your resume.
