STEP 1
BrainstormEmployment trends indicate workers will change careers—not just jobs— several times in a lifetime. For this reason it is important to know that resume writing is a skill you will use throughout your life.
Before beginning your resume, put together an accomplish-ments history, including your most significant achievements from work, hobbies, volunteer projects, school, extracurricu-lar activities, travel, and other life experiences.
Write everything down and do not limit yourself! Action verbs from the list on page 9 may help you remember things you have done and give you ideas for new ways to describe those activities. Friends or family familiar with your work and work style can be good sources of assistance as well. (Refer to Action Verb List)
Gather documents related to your experiences, e.g., performance reviews, letters of appreciation, job descriptions, documents, or presentations you wrote or prepared, etc. This can be helpful now with your brainstorming and later to review, check, and confirm details. Categories to generate ideas and organize your information include:
• Education(universitiesattended,classesrelatedtoyourcareer goal, certifications, special training)
• Experience(paid/unpaid,part/full-time,internships,military)
• Volunteerexperience(church,civicgroups,tutoring)
• Activitiesandhonors(studentorganizations,professional associations, scholarships, academic achievements, sororities or fraternities)
• Importantcareer-relatedskills(computerproficiency,foreign languages, problem solving, critical thinking, communication abilities)
• Personalachievements(financingyoureducation,overcoming obstacles)
• Hobbiesandinterests(planningtrips,managingpersonal investments)
Keep your accomplishments history file and add to it over time because this will not be the last time you write a resume. Once you compile and organize information in your accomplishments history, it will be invaluable for all resumes you write throughout your career.
STEP 2
Organize and Write Initial DraftName & Contact Information (Required)• Includeyourname,phonenumber,address,ande-mail.
Only include your permanent address if it serves a purpose such as if you are looking for a position in your hometown.
• Yournameisgenerallyboldandafewpointslargerinfont size than the rest of the resume.
Resume writing tips and instructions
REMEMBER…
• Resumesdonotgetjobs;theygetinterviews.
• Resumesshouldconveyyouruniqueskillsandabilitiesastheyrelatetothepositionforwhichyouareapplying.
• Resumesshouldnotincludeeverydetailaboutyou.Theyshouldhighlightthespecificsthatmakeyouaqualifiedcandidateforthepositionyouseek.
• Resumesshouldnotbesoshortorsovaguethatanemployerhasnoideawhatyourskillsareorwhatyoudid inyourlastjob.
• Humanresourcesprofessionalsknowthatthebestpredictoroffutureperformanceispastperformance.Inyourresume,highlighttheresultsofyourexperiences.

• Ifyouuseyourcellphoneasyourcontactphonenumber, be prepared to handle a professional conversation wherever you may answer your calls. Only use a work phone if it is appropriate for you to receive calls at work.
• Youremailaddressshouldbeprofessional (i.e., DO NOT USE [email protected]).
Objective (Optional)A well-crafted objective indicates that you are clear about opportunities available with an employer and that you are clear about the position you are seeking. Objectives can be a liability if they do not match the position for which you are applying.
Customize the resume for each position or industry. When included, objective statements should tell an employer about the next step on your career path, not your life goals.
Youmaynotneedanobjectivewhenpostingaresumetoan electronic job board or when handing it out at a career fair. Objectives work best when they are written for a specific job or career.
Employers expect applicants to customize their resumes for each position. The employment objective needs to be supported by the content of your resume.
Examples of objectives:
• Toobtainanentry-levelsalespositionintheconsumerproducts industry.
• SeekingasummerinternshipininvestmentbankingwithXYZCompany.
Summary of Qualifications/Profile (Optional) Typically used by job seekers with more professional experience, this summary should focus on the big picture and help the employer understand how your experiences fit together. Summary information briefly communicates your experience, training, and personal abilities as they relatetothespecificjobyouseek.Informationofthistypemay be included in a cover letter, eliminating the need to include it in the resume. Details of your experiences belong in other sections of the resume.
Examples:
• Twoyearsexperienceinamedicalenvironment;familiarwith confidentiality issues and medical terminology
• Stronganalyticalskillsdevelopedthroughlabexperience in chemistry and biology
• Provencommunicationskillsasdemonstratedthroughclub leadership, debate competition at state level, and writing for the university student newspaper
Education (Required)This section can include your credit-based higher education degrees and certificates as well as noncredit learning.Yourinformationshouldinclude:
• Degree(i.e.,BachelorofScience,MasterofArts)
• Major(s)
• Minors,concentrations,orareasofemphases
• Universityname,city,andstate
• Monthandyearofgraduation
• GPA(s)(typicallyifabove3.0)—IfyoulistanythingotherthanyouroverallGPA,besuretospecifywhichGPAyouareusing
Listyourmostrecentdegreefirst(Ph.D.,Master’s,Bachelor’s).Youdon’tnecessarilyneedtolisteverycollegeor university at which you have taken a few classes. Once you are in college, high school is not typically included on a resume unless you have a good reason you want an employer to know where you went to high school.

•Includethepositiontitle,employer/organizationname,location (city, state), and dates with months and years.
•Typicallyyourexperienceislistedinreversechronologicalorder with your most recent experience first.
•Highlighttransferableskillsandabilitiesratherthandescribing work duties and responsibilities. Think about the types of things that you did in your job or activities that relate to the types of things you will be doing in your future professional positions.
Forexample,“Interviewed,hired,andtrainednewteammembers” or “Led closing of store by assigning roles at the appropriate time, balancing the cash registers, securing all cash, and setting the alarm.”
• Describeyourexperienceinaresult-orientedfashionbecause employers know the best predictor of future performance is past performance. Whenever possible, useconcreteinformationtoqualifyand/orquantifyyourexperience.Forexample,“Increasedsalesby25%overathreemonthperiod”or“Taughtaclassof300students.”

• Generallynewcollegegraduateswillnotincludeexperiencesfromhighschoolorearlier.However,ifyou have relevant experience (i.e., you owned your own business) or if you are earlier in your college career (i.e., a freshman or sophomore), it may be appropriate to include experiences from high school.
• Includearound3to5bulletstodescribeeachexperience.
• Usepresenttensewhendescribingcurrentpositions. Use past tense when describing your past experiences.
Activities & Organizations (Optional)This section can include membership in campus or community activities, professional organizations, volunteeractivities,orrelevantinterests.Youmaychooseto format this section as a list, or you may choose to set it up with the same format as your jobs with descriptions of the leadership roles you performed in these organizations.
Activities might be included to:
• Demonstrateawell-roundedpersonwithmoredimensions than just work.
• Pointoutskillsthathavebeendemonstratedinyournonprofessional life.
• Accountforgapsinemployment.
• Startconversations(possiblytheemployersharesorisintrigued by your interest).
When you choose to include activities and interests, be aware of “hot buttons.” A hot button is an activity or interest to which some employers may have a strong positive or negative reaction, such as religious or political affiliations. When you have an activity or interest that is a“hotbutton,”youhavethreeoptions.Makeaninformedand reflective choice.
Options include:
• Includethisinformationonyourresume—Manyapplicants feel the employer should know who they are, inside and outside of the workplace, and they may not want to work for an employer who cannot accept them as a whole individual.
• Omitthisinformation—Youmaywanttheopportunityto present yourself as a candidate rather than be prematurelydiscountedduetotheemployer’sbias.
• Generalizetheseactivities/interests—Presentthemin a generic format (e.g., “Director of a choir” without specifying religion or denomination).
Interestsareunstructuredindividualpursuitsandcanbeincluded if relevant. Examples would be golf, marathon running, personal investment management, etc. When considering if you want to include an interest, think about how the employer would view the activity.
Honors & Awards (Optional)Thissectioncanincludescholarships,honorroll,dean’slist, competitive awards, juried shows, and so on.
• Youmaywanttoprovidesomeinformationonthecontext of the award if it is not evident. For instance, “One of ten students selected from across the nation for the Fulbright Scholarship.”

Frequently, technical skills, laboratory skills, and proficiency or fluency in a foreign language are found inthissection.Itemsinthissectionshouldrelatetothepositions for which you are applying. The placement of this section on your resume may vary depending on the relevancy to the employer.
References (Required but separate from the resume)The statement “References Available Upon Request” is not needed as this is a given in the job search process. Reference names and information are generally listed on a separate page (see References section in this handout). Usually references are provided to an employer once they are requested or at an interview.
Activities:
University of Kansas Student Ambassador Association of Collegiate Entrepreneurs Alpha Chi Omega Sorority
• Scholarship Coordinator • Chairperson of Rush committee
Big Brothers/Big Sisters volunteer
Honors and Awards:
• Golden Key National Honor Society
• Dean’s List, six semesters

Format ItThere are many different ways to write a resume and a lot ofdifferentopinionsaboutwhatisgood.Youropinionisimportant, too, so be sure to create a resume that reflects whoyouarewhilealsotargetingtheemployer’sneeds.
Passthe15-secondglancetest.Employersseehundredsofresumes,andtheyskimfirst.Ifthisfirsttestispassed,theymay look at your resume more thoroughly.
• Whenorderinginformationandsectionsinyourresume,prioritize according to the needs of the employer, putting the most important information toward the top and to the left.
• Chooseaformatandheadingsthatallowyoutoeffectivelycommunicate the combination of skills and abilities that highlight your qualifications for the position and provide insightintoyouasauniqueperson.RefertoPossibleHeadingsboxforideasonheadings.(Seepage2.)
• Lengthofresumevariesaccordingtofieldofinterestand level of experience. Generally, an undergraduate with little or no professional experience will have a one-page resume. Experienced workers and some graduate students, along with students in certain disciplines, may have two pages. See your career services office for help in determining the appropriate length for your experience and desired career field.
Resume Styles Reverse Chronological Resume: the traditional resume style lists professional experience in a reversed chrono-logical order, starting with the most recent position and workingbackward.Mostresumesfornewcollegegraduatesare written in this format, and employers are accustomed to seeing chronological resumes.
Reverse Chronological resumes are particularly effective in the following cases:
• Youareorwillbeanewcollegegraduate.
• Youhaveexperienceinthefieldofinterest.
• Youcandemonstratemeasurableresultsfromworkactivities(e.g.,“Marketedevents,resultingin50%increase in attendance”).
• Youhaveheldimpressivejobtitlesand/orhaveworkedfor big-name employers.
• Youcandemonstratepromotionsandincreasedresponsibilities.
Functional Resume: summarizes your professional “functions” or experience and minimizes employment history. Functional resumes are often useful for:
• Olderworkersandthosereturningtotheworkforcesinceit minimizes dates.
• Careerchangerssinceitoutlinestransferableworkskills.
• Emphasizingknowledgeandskillsthathavenotbeenused in recent work.
Elements of both reverse chronological and functional styles can be combined if needed to show your experience.
Resume templates and resume wizards: Yourresumeisareflection of you and your accomplishments. Utilizing a word processing template or wizard that produces a document similar to others may reflect that you did not give significant thoughtandconsiderationtoyourapplication.Itisimportantthat you learn how to write and produce an effective resume that best represents the value you can bring to an employer. Difficulty in formatting and inappropriate headings are just two of the issues that often arise with resume templates and wizards. KU Career Services staff are available to assist you in getting started and finding the most appropriate resume writing solution for you.
CHECKLIST FOR PROOFREADING YOUR RESUME
Is the resume pleasing to the eye?
Doesitfitcomfortablywithinthepage(asopposedto too crowded or too empty)?
Istheresumeoncottonbondpaper?
Is the print clear, unsmudged, and large enough to read – does it pass the photocopy test?

STEP 4
Proofread and EditManyhumanresourcedirectorsseetheresumeasareflection of the applicant. Spelling errors, poor grammar, poor organization, smudges, wordiness, vagueness, etc., will produce negative impressions. Employers may think, “Istheapplicantcareless,sloppy,orunprofessional?”
Haveseveralotherscritiqueyourresume.
• Contactyourcareerservicesofficeandmakeanappointment to have a professional career advisor look over your resume.
• Askyourreferencestotakealookandgivefeedback.
• Askafamilymember,friend,orroommatetolookoverthe resume. They are often great at catching typing errors.
STEP 5
Prepare Different VersionsDesigned Paper Version: highly designed with bullets, underlining, and other highlights. For the finished paper resume,usegoodqualitypaper(atleast20%cottonbond):white, ivory, or a very pale gray. Avoid patterns that would give a “dirty” appearance when copied.
Designed Electronic Version: looks the same as your paper version when emailed or pasted into a company resume database.
Plain Text Version: you would remove any stylized formatting (i.e., bullets, bolding, italics, etc.) and then it can be pasted into an e-mail message or cut and pasted into online forms.
• Saveastextfiles.
• Enternomorethan65characters(includingspaces)across the screen, then hit the “return” or “enter” keytoforcethelinetowrap.Insomeinstances65characters per line may be too many.
• Indentlinesbyusingthespacebar.
• UseALLCAPITALLETTERSforsectionheaders.
• Surroundformerlyboldedsubheadingswithinmajorsections with asterisks (*).
• Rebuildlistsusingahyphen(-),asterisk(*),orplussign(+) at the beginning of each line instead of bullets or other special characters.
• Ifhorizontallinesaredesired,createthembyusingaseries of dashes.
• Emailyourresumetoyourselfandafriendtoseehowitlooks.Identifyandcorrectanyformattingproblemsbefore sending it to potential employers.
Online ResumesBeforepostingyourresumeontheInternet,considerwhether you want your resume to be public. There are security issues inherent in posting personal contact information online. Check the confidentiality of the database or service where you are posting your resume. Never use your Social Security Number, date of birth, or other information that might make you vulnerable to identity theft.
There are ways to control the information you make available on-line:
• Considercreatingafreee-mailaccountatYahoo!orhotmail.com to use only for job-search purposes with the possibility that you will stop using the e-mail account once employment has been secured.
• Considerrentingapostofficeboxoraprivatemailbox from a mail receiving agency to use during your job search. This will eliminate the need to use a street address as your mailing address in the information posted on the web.
• Determinewhetheryourpostedresumecanbeupdatedat no cost and whether it will be deleted from the databank if you do not update it within a specified time.
FORMATTING AND WRITING TIPS
• Maketheresumeeasytoskim:bullets,shortdeclarativephrases,easy-to-readfont–10to12points,noabbreviations.
• Useonefontstylethroughouttheresume;avoidscriptfonts.TimesNewRomanandArialaregoodchoices.
• Donotusegraphics,shadowing,clipart,ordecorativebullets(use•).
• Useboldorunderliningappropriately(butsparingly)tohighlightkeystrengths.
• Putkeyinformationontheleftandnearthetopofthepagewheneverpossible(forexample,jobtitleratherthanemploymentdateslistedatthefarleft).
• Writeyourmaterialinorderofimportanceandrelevancetotheemployer/position.
• Beginphraseswithactionverbs.
• Avoidgeneralitiesandfocusonspecificsaboutexperience,projects,products,etc.
• Quantifyexperiencewhenpossible(EmployeeoftheMonth,Receivedcustomerserviceratingsof9.8/10,Workedwithabudgetof$20,000,etc.).
• Beconsistentintheformat,layout,andspacingthroughout.

Resumesandcoverletterswininterviews;excellentreferences can win job offers.
Ifyouarebeingconsideredforajob,itislikelythatthepo-tential employer will speak with your references. Once you have gotten this far in your job search you must be certain that your references will provide a good recommendation. A less-than-enthusiastic reference at a critical juncture can spell disaster, so select your references carefully.
WhoTo identify as many potential references as possible, consider current and former bosses, professors, advisors, volunteer coordinators, co-workers, and subordinates who have first-hand knowledge of your work and abilities. Be sure to find references who know you well enough to speak on your behalf. Roommates, friends, and family members do not make good professional references.
WhatNext, call or meet with the people on your list who are likely to deliver a very positive report and have seen you perform well. Begin by explaining that you are in a job search, and then ask whether they would be willing to actasareferenceforyou.Youmightsaysomethinglike:“Dr.Thomas,IwillbegraduatinginMayandwillbe
seekingafull-timeposition.Irealizehowimportantreferencescanbe,andIwaswonderingifyouwouldbecomfortableservingasareference?”
The answer will usually be positive. Be prepared to provide a brief idea of what you have been doing recently and the type of position you seek. With past co-workers or supervisors, you may want to state why you left that job since they are likely to be asked by the potential employer. Deliver to each reference a current copy of your resume so they will be familiar with your experiences and what you have highlighted for employers.
HowManyYouwillgenerallybeaskedtoprovideatleastthreereferences.Itisagoodideatohavea“backup”ortwoon the list in case one or more of your references is unavailable.
WhereDo not include references on your resume. Names and contact information for references take up a lot of space and usually have little meaning to a potential employer atthe“resumestage.”Makeaseparatereferencepage.Be sure to include your name and contact information at the top. When delivered with your resume and cover letter, the three documents should be complementary and professional.Itisagoodideatoprintallthreeonthesamehigh-quality bond paper.
Includereference’sname,currenttitle,agencyororgani-zation with which they are currently affiliated, address, preferredphonenumber(s),andemailaddress.Insomecases, you may also want to note your relationship to the individual (e.g., former supervisor at KU Library), particu-larly if your reference has moved to a new organization. Be certaineverythingiscorrect!
WhenProvideyourreferencelisttoapotentialemployeronlywhen requested.
Be sure to thank your references at the completion of your job search.

COVER LETTERS: THINGS TO AVOID
• Startingeverysentencewith“I”or“my”
• Extraneouswordsandwordyphrases;e.g.“inorderto”and“forthepurposeof”
• Confusingandcomplexlanguageandsentencestructure(HINT:Readyourletteraloudtoidentifyawkwardness,then correct it)
• Longsentencesandparagraphs
• Weakoroverusedverbs“tobe,”“todo,”or“towork”
• Fontsizessmallerthan10pointandlargerthan12point
• Nondescriptphrasessuchas“Iwasacomputerlabassistant.”Instead,say:“Iprovidedtechnicalassistance.”“Iconductedresearchactivitiesusingobservationanddataanalysisskillswhile…”insteadof“Iworkedasaresearchassistant.”
Employers report that an impressive cover letter is often more important than the resume when making a decision whether to interview a candidate, so it can be a mistake to focus too much attention on the resume and ignore the potential value of a well-written letter. Like the resume, the cover letter is not intended to get you the job—it is intended to get you an interview (when you can convince the employer face-to-face that you are the right one for the job).
Whenever you cannot present your resume personally, a cover letter should accompany it. A cover letter should alwaysaccompanyaresumethatissentbyU.S.PostalService or e-mail. Whatever you write in your e-mail ISyourcoverletter.Acoverletterisnotnecessarywhenyou deliver your resume to a potential employer at a career fair.
The purpose of the cover letter and resume package is to motivate the employer to take action and invite you for an interview. When delivered together, the two documents should be complementary and work together to accomplish your purpose. The appearance ofyourresume/coverletterpackagewillbeenhancedifboth documents are printed on the same high-quality bond paper.
The most important aspect of a cover letter is employer focus.Presenttheemployerwithindicationsofyourpersonality and style along with your skills and abilities.
Highlightyourqualificationsforthespecificpositionyou seek, clearly stating your interests and qualifications relativetotheemployer’sneeds.
Alwayscustomizeyourcoverletter!Sendingoutageneralcover letter and resume to hundreds of employers is rarely successful.Itcancreateaperceptionontheemployer’spart that you are not a serious and thoughtful person, that youaredesperateforajob,orthatyoudon’treallycareenough about their organization to learn about them or their needs.
