GENERAL RESUME WRITING GUIDELINES

Perhaps one of the most important tools you will use in searching for a job is your resume. The primarypurpose of your resume is to interest an employer enough to contact you for an interview. If you aresending out your resume and not getting calls for interviews, the resume is not working. The informationyou include and the way you arrange it will determine whether or not you get your foot in the door.

An employer typically spends less than 20 seconds reviewing your resume. Therefore, it must be easyto read and show integration between your job objective and the supporting data. There are many bookswritten on how to prepare a resume, and many opinions concerning how a perfect resume should look.Some suggested resources are listed on page 25. Summarized below are the fundamentals of resumepreparation.

Content

Name: If you use a nickname, include it with your full name.For example: Edward (Eddie) Williams, or Yi-Ling Susan Huang.

Address: Include your local address. If you maintain a permanent address in

your hometown, list both at the top of the resume only if you expect to becontacted at either location.

Telephone: Include a phone number where an employer can reliably reach youor leave messages for you. If you do not have an answering machine, considerobtaining voicemail service from the telephone company.

E-mail address: Employers are using electronic mail more frequently to contactcandidates. If you check your e-mail on a daily basis, consider including your e-mail address on your resume. Be sure that your e-mail service will be availablethroughout your job search.

Objective: List your specific area of interest, the level of the position youdesire, and when appropriate, the specific skills you want to employ. (See Howto Write an Objective on page 4).

College Education: List all the schools you attended beyond high school,dates (optional), degrees held, and major areas of study, in reverse chronologicalorder, which means you list your most recent degree first, the next most recentdegree second, etc... If you are seeking a career in business, but are not abusiness major, list any related electives you may have taken such as computerscience, economics, accounting or other business courses. When appropriate,

include your GPA, or graduation with honors, (i.e., magna cum laude, etc.)

Work Experience:Starting with your most recent position, list all the full-time, part-time, summer and military positions you have held, includinginternships. For each job, include the beginning and ending dates (month/year oryear only), name of your employer, location (city and state or country), andposition title. Describe your responsibilities and accomplishments in terms ofthe results you produced. (See How to Write Accomplishment Statements on

Resume Writing Handbook USF Priscilla A. Scotlan Career Services Center1

page 5). Use present tense verbs to describe your current job and past tense verbsfor all previous jobs.

Additional Information: (optional)-Relevantinformation, such as specialskills (i.e., languages, computer skills), student leadership, extracurricularactivities on and off campus, community or volunteer service, honorary societies,publications and awards can be listed under related headings, such as Student

Activities or Awards and Honors.

References: On a separate sheet of paper, type the names, addresses andphone numbers of your references. Indicate their relationship to you (i.e., formeremployer, college advisor, etc.) DO NOT include this page with your resumeyou will provide this list to employers when they request it. Always obtainpermission from potential references before giving out their names during yourjob search. Additionally, you should ask them if they would be able to provide apositive recommendation for you. It is pointless (and even detrimental) to listsomeone as a reference unless they can honestly speak well of you. It is also agood idea to give your references a current copy of your resume (see page 12 for

example).

Format

Length: For a recent college graduate with limited work experience (2-3 jobs), a one-page resume isideal. If you have extensive work experience (ten years or more), one-and-a-half to two pages shouldbe the limit. Two page resumes should be paper-clipped together, not stapled, in case the employerwill make copies for distribution. It is important for the resume to maintain its neat appearance.Never copy a two-page resume on both sides of one page. List your name and Page 2 on thesecond page as a header.

Appearance: Your resume should be well spaced and organized so that it can be easily screened by thereader. Avoid overcrowding. Leave at least one-inch margins on the top, bottom and sides.Emphasize headings with bold print,CAPITAL LETTERS and/or underlining. Use bullet statementsto highlight your accomplishments:

Planned and organized . . . Researched and wrote . . .

Language : Avoid jargon, acronyms or abbreviations. Use a dictionary, synonym dictionary andthesaurus. Proofread carefully. DO NOT rely solely on computer spell-check programs to locatetypographical errors. Have at least one or two friends and/or a career counselor also proofread yourresume. The more often you edit it, the better quality document you will produce.

Typing: Whenever possible, prepare your resume on a personal computer using a word processing or

desk top publishing software program and a laser printer. Preparing your resume on computer givesyou the flexibility to make changes quickly, and to tailor each resume for a specific position.

Paper - White, off-white (cream) and light gray are the most appropriate colors for resume paper.Choose a good quality rag or linen finished bond paper (24 - 60 lbs) for a professional look.8.5 " x 11" ONLY! Your cover letter stationery and envelope should match the color and weight ofyour resume paper. Most copy services will sell matching blank paper and envelopes. Reproduce yourresume using a high-quality photocopier or laser-print multiple copies. Ask the copy service providerto show you paper samples and examples of copy quality before you buy.

Resume Software Programs

Although we recommend designing your resume from scratch (preferably using Microsoft Word), thereare many computer software programs on the market designed to help you write your resume. Some arestand-alone programs created specifically for resume writing, others are resume templates included withword-processing software. If you are considering using a resume writing program/template, here are somepoints to consider:

Ease of use: Can you start using it immediately without time-consumingtutorials? Would it take just as long to learn this program as it would to learnformatting features on your existing word-processing software?

Flexibility: Does the program offer a variety of resume formats? Can youcustomize the formats to meet your own needs? Do you have control over designdetails such as the size and type of fonts used?

Design Quality: Some resume templates are poorly designed and include fontsthat are too small and categories that may not be appropriate for your needs.

Price: Is the software affordable given that it has only one use? Do you alreadyhave access to resume templates in your word processing software?

RESUME FORMATSThe examples we have provided in this handbook illustrate two basic resume formats: chronological andfunctional. A chronological resume lists your experience in reverse chronological order (i.e., your mostcurrent job first). A functional resume is organized according to your skills. Each format has uniqueadvantagesthe chronological resume is most commonly used and widely accepted; the functional styleoffers more flexibility.

Chronological Resume (see page 10 for example)

You may want to use a chronological style when:

You want to emphasize advancement to progressive levels of responsibility (e.g.,sales clerkdepartment managerstore managerregional manager).

You want to illustrate a stable work history.

Your current job is in the same field as the position for which you are applying.

You are applying for a job in a conservative field or industry (i.e., banking,accounting).

A potential employer is likely to prefer a more traditional looking resume.

Functional Resume (see page 11 for example)

You may want to use a functional format when:

Your recent work experience is unrelated to your current job objective.

You want to illustrate skills and accomplishments related to volunteer work, studentactivities, or academic experiences.

Your job titles dont reflect your true level of responsibility or accomplishments.

Your work history is complicated or includes stretches of unemployment (other thanwhen you were a full-time student).



6/27

You want to emphasize specific skills that are closely related to your objective.

You are making a career change and you want to illustrate how skills acquired in onesetting can be transferred to a new field.

A functional resume can be organized according to:

Specific Skills Broad Functional Areas

Planning and Coordinating Work with ChildrenFinancial Analysis Office Administration

Research and Writing Customer Service

Sales and Marketing Real Estate Experience

The skills or functional areas you choose to include will be determined by your job objective and theaspects of your experience that you want to highlight. For additional ideas, refer to the list of actionwords on page 6, and review the functional resume samples.

HOW TO WRITE AN OBJ ECTIVE

A career objective at the top of the resume lets the reader know what type of position you are seeking. Itis a statement of the kinds ofskills you want to use, the kind ofdepartment or organization you want towork in, and the geographic location in which you would like to work. The objective should be short andclear and focused.

Focused Examples:

To obtain a writing, sales promotion and department management position for amedium-sized high technology firm in Silicon Valley

Trainer with heavy emphasis on new program development for managementpersonnel for a Fortune 500 consumer products company in the San FranciscoBay Area.

Auditing, tax planning, and data management for a public accounting firm in the

Los Angeles metropolitan area. An internship position with a focus on counseling issues related to older adults,

their adult children, and their families.

An entry-level position in the field of biological research utilizing my analyticaland research skills.

Unfocused Example: To pursue a career with an organization which will utilize my education, experience, skills

and abilities leading to mutual growth and success.

To obtain an entry level position with a progressive company that will allow me to developmy skills.

These examples do not tell the reader anything except that the resume writer is unfocused.

Objectives should point out to the reader what skills the person will bring to the position.



7/27

HOW TO WRITE ACCOMPLISHMENT STATEMENTS

Accomplishment statements illustrate the skills you used on the job and describe the results youproduced. They may include any of the following:

Special projects/assignments Saving time or money Unique contributions Increasing productivity, customer satisfaction Big and small challenges Reducing costs, complaints Bringing projects in on time Streamlining procedures Bringing in projects under budget Eliminating nagging problems

Avoid writing duties included or responsible for. Instead, write active-voice statements, using theformula below, describing how you made a difference in your position. This is your opportunity toanswer the readers mental question what can you do for me?

Formula for Writing Accomplishment Statements

Action Verb + Object + Context + Results Produced

Action verb:planned, initiated, coordinated, etc. (see list on following page) Object: planned a meeting; initiated aprogram, etc. Context: interesting detailwho you did it for; time frame; number of people; size of budget;

size of caseload; type of issues/population, etc. Results: the bottom-line effect of your effort (saved time or money, exceeded sales goals,

reduced errors, increased student retention, etc.). Quantify results whenever possible.

Example: Coordinated guest appearances and logistical arrangements during four-month periodto raise over $5,000 during the First Annual Outdoor Festival in March 2001.

Example: Managed $3,500 budget for Associated Students group for 2000-2001 academic year,resulting in 20% increase in events offered to students.

Example: Recruited 50 volunteers for Fall 2001 Outreach to Community, including training ofvolunteers and assignments to various local non-profit organizations.



8/27

ACTION VERBSAction verbs can help you transform your resume from a simple list of job duties to a dynamicpicture of your achievements and abilities. The list of suggested action verbs below may help youidentify your skills and accomplishments. Since all job tasks involve some combination ofpeople, ideas, information, things and procedures, we have arranged the words in those

categories.

PREPARING A SCANAB LE RESUME

If you are planning to submit your resume to large corporations, you may want to prepare it to be easilyread by optical scanners. Corporations which receive hundreds of resumes daily, both paper and email,are using resume-scanning software with increasing frequency. Scanning software is typically part of asophisticated applicant tracking system which stores your information in a candidate database. Put

simply, the computer reads your resume and extracts important information about you, including youreducation, work history, and skills. An employer can then search electronically stored resumes accordingto specific job criteria.

If you are not certain whether an employer is using an applicant tracking system, contact the humanresources department and ask whether they routinely scan resumes. The following tips on preparingresumes for optical scanners

Format and Content

Use keywords that state specific skills (e.g., Excel, Leadership, Bilingual). Use keywords from the job description/job listing, industry buzzwords, jargon

and acronyms (e.g., Total Quality Management, Accounts Receivable/AccountsPayable, Product Management). Be sure to spell out the acronyms for humanreaders.

Use concrete examples. Its better to say, managed six sales representatives,than responsible for managing...

Choose a common, non-decorative sans serif font such as Arial or Optima; usesize 10-14 points (avoid Times 10 point)

Make sure that no characters touch each other. Add space between slashes so thatthe slash does not touch the letters (e.g. IT / IS).

Submit laser printed original copy. Do not fold or staple - paper clip the pagestogether.

Use only light colored 8.5 x 11 inch papercrisp white is best. Use traditional formatting, chronological or functionalsimple and easy-to-read

is best.

Prepare single-sided copy, single-spaced type. Your resume can be more thanone page if necessary. Place your name at the top of each page on its own line.

Use UPPERCASE type for section headings.

What to Avoid

Do not useItalics, underlining, graphics or shading, or BOLD.

Avoid font sizes smaller than 10 point. Dont condense spacing between letters. Omit vertical lines ( ), and horizontal lines(__). Never use dot-matrix printer copy. Do not fold or staple; mail in a 9 x 12 inch envelope. Avoid two-column format or resumes that look like newspapers or newsletters;

scanners read from left to right.

More tips on submitting your resume to be scanned or by E-mail:

When an organization electronically scans a resume, they will need the document to be typed or word-

processed. In many word processing programs, you can save a copy of your formatted resume as textonly. Resumes must be in plain ASCII text with a maximum line width of 70 characters. ASCII textmeans plain letters with no bold or fancy lettering etc. When you save your document as an ASCII file,you can use this format when emailing your resume directly to an employer. Do not send an attachment,just copy and paste the resume directly into the body of the email.

What is ASCII Text?

ASCII (pronounced askee) is an acronym which stands for American Standard Code for InformationInterchange and is used to describe files that are stored in clear text format. ASCII text is the simplestform of text, meaning there is no formatting mechanism within the document and the text is not platform

or application specific. For example, ASCII is the text widely used when you read and write e-mailbecause it is a simple text language whose main purpose is the exchange of text information (referring toinformation typed within the message body of an e-mail and not to enclosures or attachments). Thisexplains why the attempt to bold words or format paragraphs doesnt work in e-mail. Because of itssimplicity, ASCII text enables anyone to construct an on-line resume so when prospective employersretrieve your resume via the Internet or e-mail, they will be able to view it no matter what kind ofcomputer they are using.

How do I write my resume in ASCII?

To create an ASCII resume, all you need to do is type your resume using your favorite word-processingapplication, and then save it as a text only document (sometimes also called Rich Text Format or RTF).

This should be an option under your save or save as command. You can also use a simple textprogram to compose your resume. Since your resume will appear as ASCII text, it will not recognizespecial formatting commands specific to your word-processing program, therefore, you must watch forthese common mistakes:1. Special characters (such as smart quotes, or mathematical symbols) - these do not get accurately

transferred in the text save; therefore avoid using special characters.2. Tabs - do not use tabs; use your spacebar instead.3. Alignment - the default for ASCII is to make everything left justified (which is the preferred format

for scanning resumes and online viewing), so if you want to indent a sentence or center a heading, usethe spacebar.

4. Word wrap - do not use this feature when composing your resume; instead use hard carriage returnsto insert line breaks.

5. Fonts - fonts will become whatever a computer uses as its default face and size so boldface, italics,and various sizes will NOT appear in the ASCII version.

6. Spell check - check your document before you save it as a text file.7. Proofread - make sure to read over your entire resume after you paste it in the message field and

before you hit the submit button.8. Save - your file as text only. Then cut and paste the text into the body of your mail message; your

name and address should appear in the top lines of the resume; do not send the file as an attachment.

CAREER PORTFOLIO

A portfolio is a record of your accomplishments in school, on the job, in internships, and volunteer work.

Portfolios were originally used primarily by visual artists to present examples of their work. A careerportfolio can be used by anyone, and may include work samples, letters, reports, brochures or any otheritem that illustrates your abilities and experience (see list below).

The Portfolio Advantage

Job seekers use portfolios to set themselves apart from the other candidates by presenting tangibleevidence of their skills and abilities. Applicants present portfolios during an employment interview toillustrate their accomplishments and demonstrate the quality of work they produce. Students with minimalpaid work experience may include materials related to participation in co-curricular activities, volunteeror internship experiences, outside clubs, as well as samples of academic work.

How to Organize a Portfolio

The contents of a portfolio are typically organized in a three-ring binder. Each item should be placed in aplastic sheet protector to keep it from getting damaged. The contents can be arranged chronologically, orby topic (i.e., academic work, internships, etc.) or type of item (marketing materials, reports, certificates,etc.).

Your completed portfolio may contain dozens of items. However, for a job interview you may want tobring only 10-15 items that are the most relevant to the position for which you are applying.

Suggested Portfolio Contents

1. Extra copies of your resume.

2. Official copy of your college/university transcripts.

3. Evidence of any licenses, credentials or professional certifications you hold.

4. Job descriptions from positions you have held (including internships and volunteer work).

5. Certificates of awards and honors.

6. Records of formal training, (e.g., RA training, CPR training, professional certification) including

names of presenters, time commitment, new knowledge gained, skills learned, competency level, etc.7. Letters of recommendation from faculty, or supervisors.

8. Unsolicited recommendation letters, or memos thanking you for outstanding work.

9. Short examples of your academic work (omit instructors grade and/or comments).

10.A list of conferences and workshops you have attended, including names of presenters, timecommitment, new knowledge gained, skills learned, competency level, etc.

11.Performance evaluations from jobs, internships or volunteer experiences.



26/27

12.Samples of materials you developed (handouts, flyers, promotional brochures) for a campus club oroutside activity.

13.Samples of materials you developed for a job or internship (flyers, databases, forms, promotionalmaterials, reports, charts and graphs, etc.). Do NOT include any confidential or proprietaryinformation.

14.Records of speaking engagements or conference presentations (on and off campus).

15.Examples of nonacademic written work such as newsletter or newspaper articles, editorials, briefreports, fiction or poetry.

16.Evidence of research, such as abstracts of papers, reports or presentations, and graphical illustrationsof research results.

17.Newspaper or newsletter clippings mentioning your name and your accomplishments.

18.Evidence of senior or capstone projects such as an abstract accompanied by a chart or graph.

19.Documentation of technical and/or computer skills such as samples of databases, spreadsheets orgraphics youve created.

20.Evidence of involvement in campus or professional association activities such as a program from an

event you planned or in which you participated.

21.Photos with brief, explanatory captions.

22.Evidence of your ability to produce work related to the job you are seeking (i.e., work you createdspecifically for the portfolio to demonstrate your capabilities). For example, show how you wouldredesign a newsletter, create a marketing campaign, describe how you would rewrite a report or revisea research design.

How to Use a Portfolio

You should mention your portfolio at the bottom of your resume (i.e., portfolio of work samples

available on request) or in your cover letter. Always bring your portfolio to the interview. When theinterviewer begins to ask questions about your resume you can use your portfolio to support yourresponses. For example, if an interviewer asks you about a particularly challenging experience, you mightdescribe the effort behind a team research project and show the interviewer the section of the final reportfor which you were responsible.

During some interviews you may not have time to show your portfolio in detail. Its a good idea to bringextra copies of some of your best work samples which you can leave with the interviewer. If an employeris interested in particular items but you do not have copies available, offer to mail copies of thosedocuments after the interview.

Never leave original copies of your documents or your entire portfolio with anyone. In fact, it is best touse only good quality photocopies in your portfolio andkeep the originals in a safe place. Your portfolio

should be continuously updated and reorganized to reflect your most current accomplishments and meetyour changing needs.

The career counselors in the Career Services Center are available to assist you in developing, organizingand evaluating a career portfolio. Call 415-422-6216 for appointment and drop-in times.
