Resume Preparation
• The primary purpose of the resume
is to get you an interview.
• First introduction to employer
4. Free Powerpoint Templates Page 4
Resume Preparation
• Organizing Your Information
» Your resume is a history, not an obituary.
» Separate your jobs into fragments and explain them.
» Don’t just write ‘office help.’ Divide jobs into such
functions as ‘sales,’ inventory’ etc.
» Describe each job in terms of accomplishments and
results.
» Many resource directors receive 25 to 100 or more
resumes each week and of those, only 5% lead to an
interview.
» Chose a format-should introduce you to an employer
in the most favorable light.
5. Free Powerpoint Templates Page 5
Resume Styles
• Chronological
– Lists your jobs, education, and events in
chronological order (duh).
– Easiest to write
– Generally used when you have a very stable
and impressive work background with no
major job gaps.
– Enables you to show progression and
increasing responsibilities in your job.
6. Free Powerpoint Templates Page 6
Resume Styles
• Functional Format
– Lists your information under skill headings without
necessarily functioning on dates.
7. Free Powerpoint Templates Page 7
Resume Styles
• Hybrid Format
– A combination of chronological and functional
format.
– As functional – list functional, transferable
skills that you can offer an employer, but
unlike chronological style, you can give time
periods (number of years rather than dates)
for the jobs you’ve held.
8. Free Powerpoint Templates Page 8
Resume Styles
• Targeted Format
– A focused presentation of accomplishments
and skill areas directed toward a specific job
or career.
– May be chronological, functional or hybrid.
– More focused than other formats
– Effective when you are interested in a specific
job and when you need separate resumes for
different career paths.
9. Free Powerpoint Templates Page 9
Points to remember…
• Phrases such as,”I am a great problem
solver, a hard worker, and detail
oriented,” are too vague.
• These are “empty words,” and are
meaningless unless you back them up
with specific examples.
10. Free Powerpoint Templates Page 10
Points to remember
• You resume should be original and display
your personality.
• Don’t be afraid of being innovative.
• Stay professional and use good
judgement.

for you.
