FACTS ABOUT RESUMES & • Job searches almost always require the use of a resume. Even entry level jobs that require applications will also encourage applicants to turn in a resume. A good resume will help toward getting a job interview, while a poor resume will likely end up in a “no” pile. Fact: Some jobs will have over 100 applicants for only one position, so a good resume is important. • Resumes are usually one page for new graduates or those seeking to transition into a new field but without a lot of experience in the new field. Resumes for job seekers with extensive experience can be 1 or 2 pages. Resumes longer than 2 pages are generally considered too long. BASIC RESUME TIPS & • Write your resume with a focus on the job or career you wish to obtain (this will likely require creating more than one resume if you are applying for different fields). • Check your resume for grammar, spelling, and factual errors. Make sure to have at least one person read it over, such as a counselor at the Center for Careers and Employment. • Don’t use photographs, clip art, fancy graphics, or borders. Text should be black. • Don’t list social security number, age, marital status, gender, or other personal information. • Use an easy-to-read font such as Arial, Times New Roman, or Calibri in an easy to read size (usually no smaller than 11, but no bigger than 13). • Use white or off-white paper (can be cotton or linen blend) and avoid using colored paper. • When sending your resume to employers, make sure it is either a Microsoft Word or a PDF document. Most employers can’t read a Works or a Word Perfect document. • Use a combination of Bold or Italics to help your information stand out. Use the TAB key instead of the space bar to perfectly line up information and use bullet points to present your information. STEP BY STEP: GETTING STARTED WITH THE RESUME & !" Open Microsoft Word and open a new document (avoid using templates) #" Use the default font (Calibri) or change to Times New Roman or Arial, Size 12. Resumes can be in any font type or size that is clear, professional and easy to read. No size 9, and no Comic Sans, for example. $" Begin typing your resume. %" Adjust your margins to fill the space. 1
STEP BY STEP: RESUME CATEGORIES & Create your header: Include full name (avoid nicknames), mailing address, phone, and email (use professional-sounding email). This will be used on your resume, cover letter and reference sheet. Create your categories – these are some of the basics: OBJECTIVE: This category is optional and can be used to give your resume a focus and state your immediate career/job goal • For example – “entry level IT position” for a recent graduate is acceptable, but “entry level IT position to obtain promotion to senior IT administrator” is not acceptable. • If your resume focus is clear or you are attending a job fair to apply for positions in various fields, omit this category. EDUCATION: (or Training) Highest (or most related) education should be listed first. Recent graduates should list education at the top. If education is not recent/not related, it can be listed at the bottom. What to include in Education: • Complete name of the degree received or working towards (list planned graduation date if a student) • Dates attended or just the graduation date if a graduate • G.P.A (not required, but may be listed if above 3.0) • Honors or Awards (President’s List, Dean’s List, PTK, etc.) • Relevant Coursework • Relevant Projects • Field Work, Internships, Placements, etc. may also be included here or may be a separate category Format Example: Associates in Applied Science, Human Services Hudson Valley Community College, Troy, NY G.P.A. 3.7 Honors: President’s List and Dean’s List May 2013 WORK EXPERIENCE • • In a Chronological Style resume, jobs are typically listed in reverse chronological order – this means your most recent job is listed first. However, when the most recent job is NOT related experience, but less recent jobs are related, it is possible to use two categories – “related experience” and “other work experience.” What to include in Work Experience: • Job title, employer name, employer city and state (do not include zip codes, supervisor names, or phone numbers in this section) • Dates of employment • Bullet point statements highlighting your accomplishments/skills/responsibilities (see page 5 for action word examples (use 3 – 5 statements) • 2
WORK EXPERIENCE (Continued) Format Example: Wait Staff, Carla’s Diner, Troy, NY Date – Present . Example: • Trained new wait staff on menus and procedures • Greeted diners, explained menu items and specials, and provided good customer service and follow up • Assisted the manager by helping to cash out registers Other Names for Work Experience: Related Experience Professional Experience Work History Employment Experience NOTE: Alternatively, you may use a category called “Experience” which includes internships and volunteer experience in addition to “work” experience. Save your resume as your name (ex: JohnSmith.docx) so that the employer will see this when it is attached. TIP: Always have at least one more person review your resume before sending it to an employer. HVCC Center for Careers and Employment counselors are available to review your resume. STEP BY STEP: OTHER RESUME CATEGORIES & MILITARY EXPERIENCE LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE ATHLETICS CERTIFICATIONS SKILLS CERTIFICATIONS COMPUTER SKILLS COMPUTER SKILLS STUDENT ACTIVITIES TRAININGS AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE LANGUAGES LICENSING INTERNSHIPS Additional Tips: • It is not necessary to say “references available upon request” • Removing dates from employment and education may raise red flags with the employer. If you are concerned of age discrimination, please speak with a career counselor. How you format your resume is important. It must look professional. Use bullet points, TAB, BOLD, and Italics to make sure your resume will stand out in a positive way. Visit the Computer Learning Center in the Marvin Library for help using Microsoft Word. 3
RESUME STYLES AND TIPS & REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL • This is the most common resume style. Jobs are listed in reverse chronological order (most recent first). However, you may use different categories (such as “related experience” and “other experience” to move the most related jobs closer to the top of the resume. FUNCTIONAL • This style focuses on related skills, rather than job titles and employment dates. It can be a useful style for career changers. However, this style is less common and is disliked by some employers. COMBINATION • This style combines elements of the chronological resume and the functional resume. Often, a highlighted skills category is included at the beginning and work experience, internships, projects, etc. are included below. COVER LETTERS & Cover letters are business letters that accompany a resume. Letters may also be written as the body of an email if the resume is being sent this way. COVER LETTER GUIDELINES: (Example on page 11). A business letter includes the date, name and contact information of the person you are sending the letter to, salutation, letter body, and signature. The body format is as follows: PARAGRAPH 1: • Job you are applying for (state the job title) • One sentence about why you are qualified as a transition into the next paragraph. PARAGRAPH 2: • Using good writing skills (sentences must flow, don’t start every sentence with “I,” spelling, punctuation, etc) write 3-5 sentences about how you are qualified for the position. • Express enthusiasm/interest in the position to make sure that your letter sounds more personal and not like a form letter. Write a new letter for each job for which you apply (although only minor changes may be needed for similar positions). • This paragraph may also address employment gaps. PARAGRAPH 3: • Thank the employer for their time and provide your contact information for follow up. • 4

Resume

    FACTS ABOUT RESUMES & • Jobsearches almost always require the use of a resume. Even entry level jobs that require applications will also encourage applicants to turn in a resume. A good resume will help toward getting a job interview, while a poor resume will likely end up in a “no” pile. Fact: Some jobs will have over 100 applicants for only one position, so a good resume is important. • Resumes are usually one page for new graduates or those seeking to transition into a new field but without a lot of experience in the new field. Resumes for job seekers with extensive experience can be 1 or 2 pages. Resumes longer than 2 pages are generally considered too long. BASIC RESUME TIPS & • Write your resume with a focus on the job or career you wish to obtain (this will likely require creating more than one resume if you are applying for different fields). • Check your resume for grammar, spelling, and factual errors. Make sure to have at least one person read it over, such as a counselor at the Center for Careers and Employment. • Don’t use photographs, clip art, fancy graphics, or borders. Text should be black. • Don’t list social security number, age, marital status, gender, or other personal information. • Use an easy-to-read font such as Arial, Times New Roman, or Calibri in an easy to read size (usually no smaller than 11, but no bigger than 13). • Use white or off-white paper (can be cotton or linen blend) and avoid using colored paper. • When sending your resume to employers, make sure it is either a Microsoft Word or a PDF document. Most employers can’t read a Works or a Word Perfect document. • Use a combination of Bold or Italics to help your information stand out. Use the TAB key instead of the space bar to perfectly line up information and use bullet points to present your information. STEP BY STEP: GETTING STARTED WITH THE RESUME & !" Open Microsoft Word and open a new document (avoid using templates) #" Use the default font (Calibri) or change to Times New Roman or Arial, Size 12. Resumes can be in any font type or size that is clear, professional and easy to read. No size 9, and no Comic Sans, for example. $" Begin typing your resume. %" Adjust your margins to fill the space. 1
  • 3.
    STEP BY STEP:RESUME CATEGORIES & Create your header: Include full name (avoid nicknames), mailing address, phone, and email (use professional-sounding email). This will be used on your resume, cover letter and reference sheet. Create your categories – these are some of the basics: OBJECTIVE: This category is optional and can be used to give your resume a focus and state your immediate career/job goal • For example – “entry level IT position” for a recent graduate is acceptable, but “entry level IT position to obtain promotion to senior IT administrator” is not acceptable. • If your resume focus is clear or you are attending a job fair to apply for positions in various fields, omit this category. EDUCATION: (or Training) Highest (or most related) education should be listed first. Recent graduates should list education at the top. If education is not recent/not related, it can be listed at the bottom. What to include in Education: • Complete name of the degree received or working towards (list planned graduation date if a student) • Dates attended or just the graduation date if a graduate • G.P.A (not required, but may be listed if above 3.0) • Honors or Awards (President’s List, Dean’s List, PTK, etc.) • Relevant Coursework • Relevant Projects • Field Work, Internships, Placements, etc. may also be included here or may be a separate category Format Example: Associates in Applied Science, Human Services Hudson Valley Community College, Troy, NY G.P.A. 3.7 Honors: President’s List and Dean’s List May 2013 WORK EXPERIENCE • • In a Chronological Style resume, jobs are typically listed in reverse chronological order – this means your most recent job is listed first. However, when the most recent job is NOT related experience, but less recent jobs are related, it is possible to use two categories – “related experience” and “other work experience.” What to include in Work Experience: • Job title, employer name, employer city and state (do not include zip codes, supervisor names, or phone numbers in this section) • Dates of employment • Bullet point statements highlighting your accomplishments/skills/responsibilities (see page 5 for action word examples (use 3 – 5 statements) • 2
  • 4.
    WORK EXPERIENCE (Continued) FormatExample: Wait Staff, Carla’s Diner, Troy, NY Date – Present . Example: • Trained new wait staff on menus and procedures • Greeted diners, explained menu items and specials, and provided good customer service and follow up • Assisted the manager by helping to cash out registers Other Names for Work Experience: Related Experience Professional Experience Work History Employment Experience NOTE: Alternatively, you may use a category called “Experience” which includes internships and volunteer experience in addition to “work” experience. Save your resume as your name (ex: JohnSmith.docx) so that the employer will see this when it is attached. TIP: Always have at least one more person review your resume before sending it to an employer. HVCC Center for Careers and Employment counselors are available to review your resume. STEP BY STEP: OTHER RESUME CATEGORIES & MILITARY EXPERIENCE LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE ATHLETICS CERTIFICATIONS SKILLS CERTIFICATIONS COMPUTER SKILLS COMPUTER SKILLS STUDENT ACTIVITIES TRAININGS AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE LANGUAGES LICENSING INTERNSHIPS Additional Tips: • It is not necessary to say “references available upon request” • Removing dates from employment and education may raise red flags with the employer. If you are concerned of age discrimination, please speak with a career counselor. How you format your resume is important. It must look professional. Use bullet points, TAB, BOLD, and Italics to make sure your resume will stand out in a positive way. Visit the Computer Learning Center in the Marvin Library for help using Microsoft Word. 3
  • 5.
    RESUME STYLES ANDTIPS & REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL • This is the most common resume style. Jobs are listed in reverse chronological order (most recent first). However, you may use different categories (such as “related experience” and “other experience” to move the most related jobs closer to the top of the resume. FUNCTIONAL • This style focuses on related skills, rather than job titles and employment dates. It can be a useful style for career changers. However, this style is less common and is disliked by some employers. COMBINATION • This style combines elements of the chronological resume and the functional resume. Often, a highlighted skills category is included at the beginning and work experience, internships, projects, etc. are included below. COVER LETTERS & Cover letters are business letters that accompany a resume. Letters may also be written as the body of an email if the resume is being sent this way. COVER LETTER GUIDELINES: (Example on page 11). A business letter includes the date, name and contact information of the person you are sending the letter to, salutation, letter body, and signature. The body format is as follows: PARAGRAPH 1: • Job you are applying for (state the job title) • One sentence about why you are qualified as a transition into the next paragraph. PARAGRAPH 2: • Using good writing skills (sentences must flow, don’t start every sentence with “I,” spelling, punctuation, etc) write 3-5 sentences about how you are qualified for the position. • Express enthusiasm/interest in the position to make sure that your letter sounds more personal and not like a form letter. Write a new letter for each job for which you apply (although only minor changes may be needed for similar positions). • This paragraph may also address employment gaps. PARAGRAPH 3: • Thank the employer for their time and provide your contact information for follow up. • 4
