This is the most complex section of your resume, and it is required, although you have a great deal of freedom in the way your present your experiences. To get started on this section, make a list of your job titles and the names, dates and locations of places where you worked.
Break each job (paid or unpaid) into short, descriptive phrases or sentences that begin with action verbs. These phrases will highlight the skills you used on the job, and help the employer envision you as an active person in the workplace. Use action words to describe the work you did.
You may choose special fontss, bolding, underlining, or placement to draw your reader’s attention to the information you want to emphasize. When the company you worked for is more impressive than your job title, you may want to highlight that information.
Briefly give the employer an overview of work that has taught you skills. Include your work experience in reverse chronological order—that is, put your last job first and work backward to your first, relevant job. Include:
Title of position,
Name of organization
Location of work (town, state)
Dates of employment
Describe your work responsibilities with emphasis on specific skills and achievements.
You should probably not go back more than your three previous jobs so that your resume doesn’t get too long. However, you will want to include any job experience that is relevant to the job you are applying for to show you have experience in that field.
Depending on how you are formatting your resume, there are a couple of ways that you can put this section together. Here are a couple of ways you can try this:
April, 1998 – XYZ Corporation; Anywhere, IL
Present Position: Sales Analyst
Duties: To monitor sales activities for 20
sales people, calculate profit/loss margins,
make suggestions for improvement, hold
educational seminars to insures sales are
progressing as they should, prepare annual
statements, formulate and implement new
procedures to improve efficiency

There are many, many more ways that you can layout this section and it all depends on how your whole resume is laid out. As long as you have the basic information about what company you worked for, when you worked for them, your position at the company, and your job duties, then you should be covered.
Next is the education section.
Education
This section can be set up much like the job experience section – it all really depends on what format you are choosing for your resume. This section is an important one for most students, and it is a required element of the resume. In this section, you should include:
The name and location of your college or university
Your degree and graduation date
Your major(s) and minor(s)
Grade point average (your cumulative GPA and your major GPA are optional)
Use placement of information, bold type or underlining to highlight the features you want to emphasize. It is sometimes necessary to pinpoint a feature or features that make you standout among other students.
For example, students bold their university or college if they feel like that is a distinctive feature. Others may decide to bold their type of degree.
New graduates without a lot of work experience should list their educational information first. Alumni can list it after the work experience section.
Be sure the following is included in the education section of your resume:
Your most recent educational information is listed first.
Include your degree (A.S., B.S., B.A., etc.)
Your major, institution attended, and your minor/concentration.
Add your grade point average (GPA) if it is higher than 3.0.
Mention academic honors.
Here are two examples of education sections, with different information emphasized.
Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana
Bachelor of Science, May 1999
Major: Supervision; GPA 5.5/6.0
Bachelor of Science in Accounting, May 1999
Minor in Finance, GPA: 5.5/6.0 Major, 5.2/6.0 Overall
Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana
In your education section, you may want to include a couple of sub-groups – especially if you are a recent graduate looking for your first position. The first sub-group is “Related Course Work”.
This is an optional part of your Education section, which can be quite impressive and informative for potential employers. Students seeking internships may want to list all completed major-related courses.
Graduates might list job-related courses different than those required to receive the degree (employers will already be aware of those). Include high-level courses in optional concentrations, foreign languages, computer applications or communications classes. You may choose more meaningful headings such as “Computer Applications” if you wish to emphasize particular areas.
Remember – employers and recruiters are familiar with the basic courses required in your major. Limit these sections to special courses or skills you have to offer.
Another optional sub-group in the education section is “Special Projects”. This optional section may be added to point out special features of your education that are particularly interesting to employers or that may make you more qualified than others for the job you are seeking.
Students often include research, writing, or computer projects. Limit your description to the most important facts. You may expand your discussion in your application letter.
If you like, you can include any awards you received or special achievements in this section, but most resumes will have a separate section for this to cover not only academic awards but also business awards.
Our next section has to do with your special abilities as they apply to the position you are trying to land.
In preparing your resume, the more you know about the position you are targeting, the better. If you know the company’s missions and goals, if you understand the needs of the position, if you recognize the company’s “concerns,” and if you know who comprises the company’s competition, you will be prepared.
AND you (and your unique skills and experience) can meet the needs of all the above (you have accurately assessed your own value to those who have employed you in the past), you will have the material necessary to create an effective marketing piece.
As in any type of marketing material, it is important to present the information so that it captures your customer’s interest quickly. Your goal is to encourage the reader to stay with your document as long as possible. Your chance for a more detailed reading increases when you give the reader that information which they are looking for early in the document.
One of the best ways to accomplish this is to create a Summary Section at the beginning of your resume. A Summary Section highlights for your reader those personal and professional skills you possess that allow you to excel in your chosen field and position.
Items and skills of greatest importance (from your readers’ viewpoint) should be listed in priority, supporting an impression of both “fit” and potential success. In addition, these should be aspects of your background that set you apart from your competing candidates, particularly candidates with skill sets similar to your own.
You are, in effect, showing your reader how you will solve their problems – better than the competition – and why interviewing you will be a worthwhile expenditure of their time.
You are not writing your resume in order to put your career autobiography out there for posterity. This is not about you – seriously. It is about how you can meet the needs of your reader – in this particular position at this particular company. It is all about them.
During the interview is when your first opportunity for negotiation takes place and you get to discuss what you get out of the deal. But right now, the only person who matters is your reader. They hold all the marbles.
When writing your resume, keep in mind your specific reader. Listing information that will be of no value to the position or company being targeted is just a waste of time.
Check for redundancy in your statements. If the positions you have held are similar, then repeating the same functions in detail throughout your document is unnecessary (heard it, got it). However, do not short-change yourself on your accomplishments.
Your potential employer is most interested in seeing how hiring you will benefit him/her and the company. If you are dealing with a hiring manager or human resource director, you can bet he or she has a lot resting on the fact that, if you are hired, they found the right person for the job.
It is expensive to hire, train, and let someone go – and it is their job to make sure this does not happen. All parties involved want to know they are making the right decision, and it is your job to assure them that they are.
The most effective way to do this is by identifying how you have benefited employers in the past. Take credit for your participation and accomplishments. While looking at the aspects of your background may seem minor or of little value to you, they may be seen as a valuable asset to those looking to fill a need.
The layout of your resume is extremely important. Your resume needs to maintain a “clean” and professional appearance (remember, it is representing you!). It should allow the reader to access the information quickly. Neat margins, adequate “white space” between groupings, and indenting to highlight text, aid the ease of reference and retention of the material.
Use “bolding” and italics sparingly. Overuse of these features actually diminishes their effectiveness of promoting the material they are intended to highlight.
Your contact information (how the reader can reach you) is essentially the most important information in the entire document. Make certain your name, address, phone number, and e-mail address (if included) are clearly visible and at the top of your document (from habit, this is where your reader will look for this information – do not make them search for it).
If you are including additional pages, be certain that your name is on these secondary pages. Consider including your phone number here, too, in case your sheets become separated.
The standards for resume length have changed. It used to be typical for resumes to be one-page in length, and no longer. For candidates with years of experience, having held multiple positions, or with outstanding achievements, this one-page constraint often results in a document that is unreadable, looks “squashed,” or utilizes a font size so small that the reader is required to squint (no, they won’t actually bother). The one-page standard no longer holds true.
Use as much space as you need to concisely, accurately, and effectively communicate your skills, history, achievements, and accomplishments – as these relate to the position and company being targeted.
A two-page document, if presented well, will not diminish the effectiveness of your marketing strategy – as long as the information you provide is relevant and valuable to your reader’s goals and interests.
A three-page resume is requiring much of your reader’s time (and patience), and may not be as effective as a more concise presentation. In academic fields and European markets, it may be necessary to go over two pages in length, but only provide this much information if you absolutely can not present your history and achievements in less.
If you are certain your reader will agree with you, they will not mind reading a resume over three pages. An overly long presentation may leave your reader wondering if you can be concise in anything you do.
Document in detail your most recent 10-15 years of employment and/or experience. Longer if the most recent position extended 10 years or more. Be certain to document growth in a company where multiple positions have been held, including identification of promotions and increased responsibilities.
List positions held prior to this in decreasing detail, unless a previous position more effectively documents relevant skills for the position you are currently targeting.
You want to entice you reader into wanting to meet you (the interview) to learn more. Current history and recently utilized skills will hold the most value.
Remember, you will have an opportunity to expand on the information in your resume during the interview. So, entice your reader to want to learn more, but don’t forget to leave something to tell.
Everyone in the business world knows that having a good, strong resume can mean the difference between getting a job and not getting a job. You will need to have a resume that is crafted professionally and that will reflect you, your job abilities, and your experience.
Having a good resume is so important when you are searching for a job that it should be your number one priority. There are all sorts of ways you can go about crafting a resume that works, but there is no magic formula for a resume that will work all the time.
The choice really is up to you how you put together a resume, but there are certain nuances that you will need to be included in your resume that every employer looks for.
It is not difficult to put together a resume that works, but it is important that you not overlook what makes your resume most effective. This one or two page document speaks about you, your abilities, your experience, your education, and your accomplishments.
It is the first thing that a potential employer will see before he or she meets you, so you want it to really be compelling and make them want to pick up the phone and call you for an interview!
There are all sorts of schools of thought regarding how a resume should look, what information it should contain, and how to put it together. However, most business people agree that when they look at a resume of a potential employee, they want to the resume to be concise, to the point, and easy to read.
Whichever school of thought you, as a job seeker, subscribe to, you will still want your resume to be what a potential employer wants to see. That is why you will want as much information about resumes as possible so you can have something that you can be proud to send out as an introduction to you and what you can do for a company.
What we will do with this Resume Writing Secrets series, is show you a few different ways to craft a resume. This series will cover the important parts of a resume and show you ways to make your resume a work of art! This series will also give you some tips and tricks to get your resume noticed over other applicants.
Moreover, this series will also give you some advice about the job interview and what you can do to land that job. Finding the job of your dreams isn’t always as simple as just filling out a job application and then waiting for a call. It takes some aggression on your part and the right tools.
