>A good resume is vital. It is your calling card to a prospective
>employer--one that lays out your qualifications and hopefully gets you a 
>job
>interview.
>Remember, most employers will spend less than five minutes initially
>reviewing your resume. Follow these guidelines to make sure your resume 
>gets
>you noticed.
>
>
>  Be sure to include these basics:
>
>.
>
>Contact information: full name, phone number, school and permanent address,
>and e-mail address.
>
>.
>
>Education: school, degree, date of completion, honors, and special course
>work. If you are still in school, provide your expected date of completion.
>
>.
>
>Experience: In addition to work history, include relevant non-professional
>experience, such as internships, extracurricular activities, and 
>significant
>volunteer work.
>
>.
>
>Skills: List any computer systems, office equipment, and software programs
>you are familiar with, as well as particular office skills (shorthand,
>typing
>speed, etc.).
>
>.
>
>Other Categories: If they are relevant, include publications, awards,
>leadership positions, or other notable achievements.
>
>There are many different ways to organize your resume. The most basic
>formats include:
>
>.
>
>Chronological: To emphasize your work history, list your jobs and
>activities, beginning with your most recent experiences.
>
>.
>
>Functional: To emphasize your skill sets, group your experiences under
>categorical headings, such as Leadership or Technology Support.
>
>The key is to pick a format that presents your achievements most
>effectively--as well as being easy to read and comprehend.
>
>  Tips for a Winning Resume:
>
>.
>
>Keep it brief. Limit your resume to one page. Instead of paragraphs, use
>bullet-pointed lists.
>
>.
>
>Provide meaningful descriptions of your experiences. When detailing your 
>job
>history, use short sentences or fragments to demonstrate your relevant
>experience.
>
>
>.
>
>Use strong action words ("developed and implemented a new filing system";
>"created two new membership programs").
>
>.
>
>Use formatting to help you out. Capitalize and use boldface, italics, or
>underlining to help organize the information.
>
>.
>
>Proofread. Use spell-check, double-check your contact information, and make
>sure your formatting is consistent. Ask a friend or family member to
>proofread
>it as well.
>
>.
>
>Custom fit your resume. Revise your resume for each job application to make
>sure it fits the opportunity at hand.
>
>The final test: Take a look at your resume from an arm's distance. Is it
>confusing and text-heavy? Or is it easy to find the information you need?
>Please
>be sure your resume is reader-friendly.
