RESUME WRITING
What is a Resume?
A marketing tool used to sell your experiences and qualifications to potential employers. The
purpose of a resume is to get you an interview!
When will I need a resume?
When you are applying for a job or internship you will most likely
need a resume.
Remember…
The employer will spend between
30 seconds to 1 minute looking at your resume so make it brief and concise! Try and
fit everything on one page.
What is the employer looking for?
The employer is looking for education and experience that proves to them that you are qualified
for the job. This is why it is important to gear your entire resume towards the position you are
applying for.
How can I increase my chances of getting an interview?
Get a copy of the job description, determine if your qualifications are similar to those listed on
the announcement. If they are, make sure they’re on your resume!
What are the general rules when writing a resume?
Should be one page. Experienced professionals may use 2 pages
Geared towards the position you are applying for
