  11. Resume FAQ We ALL need a resume. Why? What are they for? When do I need one? Why would I want one as a kid/student? What does this have to do with my dream job? How do I start?

  12. DO NOT USE A TEMPLATE!!!!!!!!! I repeat – do not use a template for your resume, even as a starter. It is much easier to start from scratch and make your own. Trust me on this one!!!!!!! A Template is like the kiss of death.

  13. ResumeMusts • Contact information • Education • Experience • Change with every job for which you apply!!!!!

  14. Resume Should Haves • References – although these can be attached on a separate sheet. • Note: Please DO NOT put references available upon request!!!!!!!

  15. Resume Can Haves • Objective • Memberships • Volunteerism • Certifications • Hobbies/interests • Awards • Computer Skills • Others????? List them with me

  16. Contact Information • Name must be largest print on page • Centered is nice, but not required • Address, list both permanent and college, if applicable • Telephone, cell and home – second most important piece of info • Email, make sure it is professional sounding

  18. Not everyone needs or wants an objective • Should be short • Should be specific • Should include what you honestly want • Relate to the specific job for which you’re applying

  19. Objective Examples Objective: To obtain a challenging human resources position in a fast-paced Fortune 500 company in a large city Objective: To utilize my skills successfully in a small, growing, local company in the customer service industry.

  20. Which comes first: education or experience? Depends on what is required for the job. If a degree or some level of specific education is absolutely, unequivically required, then list it first. If not, then go with experience.

  21. Education • Most recent to least recent • Highest level attempted goes first • List date of degree completion, even if in future • No need for location of school unless very obscure or out of local area • Don’t list anything lower than HS, leave HS off when have college degree unless very applicable
