received as a student, presentations I’ve done, books,
Internet, and resumes I’ve examined for others.
4. Fellow professionals
**Like I mentioned, much of this information is applicable to
other professions outside of recreation; however, this
presentation is geared towards recreation professionals.
5. Overall Resume Components
What EACH Resume Should Include:
The Mast or HEADING of your resume (name, address, email,
website, etc – HOW DO WE CONTACT YOU!)
Career Objectives (my own personal rules about objectives, but you
may choose to use them.)
Educational Record (high school listing not always needed)
Professional/Related Work Experience (W, W, W, W, W and H)
Non-Related work experience (waiter, cashier, laborer) – Show good
work ethic, dedication, skills not seen in other areas! (Is this good? –
Yes…Transferable Skills.
Personal Information – How much is too much?
Professional Development – YES! Listing of conferences attended –
NO!
References - Many rules here
Style, font, pages, and how your resume looks
The cover letter (“Letter of Application”)
6. From the Professional:
Kimberly Duncan, Student Activity Coordinator, University Center & Student Activities
Resume Formatting
Formatting is a big deal to me. I don’t want to see wasted
space. If it isn’t formatted properly the first impression I
have is that you are either a) lazy and are using a template
or b) not experienced.
ie. When typing a description if the sentence only has
one word that goes into the next line-pick a word to
delete to make if fit on one line.
Also, if you can provide quantifiable examples that helps.
ie. Increased recruitment by 50% or managed a budget
of $30,000
7. “Relevant” Personal Information –
in the Mast
What is the Mast of a Resume? – HINT: It makes your resume “Pop!”
Current Campus Address
Current Permanent Address – Suggested for students who may
still be in school or moving!
Telephone Numbers
Email Address (Be Careful!)
bigsexy@yahoo.con; cssr1l1@yahoo.com (ones or L’s??;
Bloodandguts@netzero.coml stan_hooper@yahoo.com
(underscores???)
Date Current information is no longer valid
Don’t tell too much! – being a minister, ordained, political
preferences, sexual orientation, etc. People do have
stereotypes!
Don’t forget the voicemail messages either. If you list a phone,
make sure it has voicemail only YOU have access to.
8. Mast Example

____________________________________________________________________________
Name should be very bold and STAND OUT – drawing attention

don’t forget to tell when school address is no longer relevant –
Just one address if you aren’t currently in school or moving
Essentials are name, email, correct telephone numbers, and
alignment
9. Educational Record
What I DO suggest! What I DON’T suggest
All institutions High School Info
attended Unless it’s the applicant’s only
educational experience or
Field(s) of Study internship
Major/Minors GPA – consider the
Degree(s) Earned rules (unless 3.7 or
Thesis Information (if higher or looking at
relevant) graduate school)
Certificates earned “Bragging” about your
(related to the job) school
10. Educational Record - Example

You must list ALL universities or colleges attended
Only list GPA if over 3.7 or if you are trying to get into graduate school and your GPA is over the
graduate school requirement for admittance
In some cases, particularly if you work in higher education, a transcript will be required as well
You can also list these side by side – just like you may have listed out your addresses
11. Professional/Related Work
Experience
Job Function – What IS the job you performed?
Be descriptive (DESCRIPTORS!) and tell what you did, how many, what types, what
it involved, and more! WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY AND HOW YOU did
what you did or are doing now
Achievements and accomplishments
Positions/Exact Titles (don’t make it up)
If you received a promotion during your tenure, list it out separately.
Actual dates of employment (don’t guess)
Name and Address of Employer and Supervisor
This may be listed on the application – may not always need it on a resume.
Location of Employer (street, city, state)
Concerns/Red Flags: “Gaps in dates”
If you have a gap in your employment, you should list that on the application with
specific dates that you were looking for employment. Your application may not
make it through screening if you don’t.
Some key phrases hiring managers pick up on - Experience in Diversity; Collaboration,
Budget/Money Management; Customer Service; Team Player; Risk Management, and
Assessment.
Can you name some others?
12. What Your Recreation Experience
Says About YOU! (and how to say it)
Consider EACH Aspect of your Position for your resume
How To List This - Order
What do you do?
Programming
Leadership Development
Counseling/Coaching
Communication
Marketing/Promotional Development
Trusted with keys (particularly for students)
Processing paperwork
Diversity
Size of your facility
Conflict resolution skills (Something I encourage our Intramural Sports student
employees to showcase. Transferable to Athletics positions in PARDs.)
Risk Management
Cash Handling (particularly for students)
Collaboration (Encouraged for all student /professional positions, as we frequently
collaborate with other departments within Division of Student Affairs at TAMUCC.
Transferable to working with PD or Parks Board for a special event in PARD setting.)
13. Position “Descriptors” - Example

14. Non-Related Work Experience
Why this is so important to add!
Job Function – What did you do?
Positions/Exact Titles Held
Dates of Employment
Name of Employer
Name of Immediate Supervisor
Volunteer Information
Hint…Tell us about experiences handling money,
leadership skills, labor, etc…
Perhaps title this area “related experiences”
15. Professional Skills and
Development
Certifications earned (also list in descriptors)
Professional Organization Memberships (as related to the
position)
Professional Conferences/Workshops Attended
Sometimes good and bad…just attending doesn’t work for everyone!
Professional presentations delivered
Professional publications authored
Computer proficiencies (very important today)
Community/Volunteer involvement
Campus/City Committee involvement/chair
16. From the Professional:
Patsy Kott, Director of Outdoor Adventures Texas A&M College Station
Professional Skills & Development
Certifications should not outweigh experiences. As hiring
managers we have had applicants with a full page of
certifications, but no experience actually using them.
Hiring managers also want to see that you have not only been a
member of your student/professional organization(s), but an
active participant in it.
ie. Instead of just listing - Member of TOADs (Texas Outdoor
Adventure Directors), I might also need to note “Served as a
member of the planning and host committee for the Texas
Outdoor Leadership Conference (2010)
17. Professional References:
What I DO Suggest
Ask your references if you can list them.
Only ask those who can give OUTSTANDING comments
Why get “average” comments from someone?
Give references a copy of your updated resume and keep them aware
of jobs you are interested in
As someone who has served as a reference for several former
employees, it isn’t fun to be caught off guard with a phone call from
your potential employer without a head’s up
List previous professional references that you are comfortable with
Include reference list with complete citations (name, title, phone,
address, email)
4-7 Balanced (men/women)
How to list these “power references”
May also need to list job titles of references that may have changed
since you worked for them.
18. Professional References:
What I DON’T suggest
“References Available Upon Request”
Family or Friends as references (what if you worked in a family owned
business?)
Listing “power” people (Producers or “name people” you met once, people
that cannot comment on your actual work experience)
All of one gender listed (remember “balanced”)
“Character” references – let the employer be the judge of
your character
Three or more references from the same location or
setting
References without email addresses listed (Trend today to
contact references with an email/online form)
19. Reference Page - Example
Display these – stacked – left/right – 1st location is
your POWER reference….

20. Additional Helpful Information
Resume paper color and weight
Designs/Artwork on the resume – No, unless perhaps you are applying
for a marketing position.
Length of resume (myths) – Athletic Administration vs. Business vs.
Education
Resume format – How to list information
Paragraph vs. paragraph style – Suggested Chronological with the use of bullets
How to stand out – hints: colored paper clip, personal business cards, follow
up with an emailed resume, telephone calls to the person you apply to, etc
Using Email – be careful! Never write what you can say
Abbreviations in a resume? NEVER (Including states) Only permitted in
titles (Mr. Mrs. Dr.)
Spelling or grammar – the “mortal” errors
Do NOT use resume template or a “canned resume”
21. Additional Helpful Information II
Common Mistakes made (which can kill you): Wrong information
listed – telephone, email, addresses, reference information changed,
etc), misspellings, bad grammar, gaps, flow problems, following
directions (i.e. applying on line when it is stated in the listing NOT to
apply on line)
New technology is adding to our field (Facebook/Myspace) BE
CAREFUL what you post. Employers will check these sites. Works in
reverse for you too!
How to address people – Mrs. Miss, Ms. Those with Doctoral degrees,
make sure you add Dr.
Make regular updates/edits to your resume
Practice makes perfect – although you are NEVER done with your
resume. It is always a work in progress.
Am I qualified for each job – Shot gunning your resume out.

listing of helpful words)
Dear…Mr., Dr., Mrs., Ms., Professor, Committee Chair - Use proper
titles, but DO YOUR RESEARCH – don’t settle for anything less than a
name! (what if they don’t give you a name when you call?)
(See next page) – Paragraph #1 – stating your intention (you may also
list where you saw the ad); Paragraph #2 – a short synopsis of your
