Resumes A resume is a summary of your experiences and skills relevant to the field of work you are entering. It highlights your accomplishments to show a potential employer that you are qualified for the work you want. It is not a biography of everything you had done. Its purpose is to get you an interview. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 3

Overview A resume is a summary of your experiences and skills relevant to the field of work you are entering. It highlights your accomplishments to show a potential employer that you are qualified for the work you want. It is not a biography of everything you have done. Its purpose is to get you an interview. A resume can (and often should) reflect more than just your paid work experience. Current students, in particular, should consider including the details of your more important extracurricular, volunteer and leadership experiences, particularly as they are relevant to the position you seek. . Tailor separate resumes to fit each career field in which you are job searching. Some people create slightly different resumes tailored to each job opening. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 4

Creating a good resume A good resume has five essential parts: 1. A clearly stated JOB OBJECTIVE. 2. The HIGHLIGHTS OF QUALIFICATIONS. 3. A presentation of DIRECTLY RELEVANT SKILLS and EXPERIENCE. 4. A chronological WORK HISTORY. 5. A listing of relevant EDUCATION and TRAINING. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 5

Key Sections Name and Address Objective / Keywords / Summary Education Experience Activities / Volunteer Work / Interests Skills References ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 6

Name and Address Put your name in at least 14 -point. Recruiters often must look through stacks of resumes in search of a particular one. Make it easy for them to see your name. If you are still in school, be sure to include both your school address and phone number, as well as the address and phone number where you can be reached during school vacations or after you graduate. Include your e-mail address. If you check your e-mail during school vacations, you may want to center the address on your resume in a way that implies it is not just associated with your school address. Be sure to have a professional email address for your job/internship search. Employers may be turned off by your greatguy@gmail. com email address. Also avoid the email hyperlink under your email address. The line under your email should not be included. Avoid unnecessary personal information such as marital status, religion, and date of birth. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 7

Objective An objective is optional. If you have worked out a clearly targeted job objective, then definitely include it. If you are applying for an internship, you probably should not include an objective on your resume. Important: Focus on what you have to offer rather than on what the job can offer you. This may sound backwards, but employers are not so much interested in what you hope to get out of a job with them, so much as they want to know whether you fit their needs. Ovoid ‘I’ statements. Example: OBJECTIVE: Editorial assistant position in publishing industry, utilizing my academic background in literature and three years experience writing for campus and local newspapers. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 8

Education This section always goes first on your resume, as long as you are in school. If you have, or soon will, graduate from college, your undergraduate education section goes first on your resume. Keep education on the top from one to three years after you graduate, depending on such factors as whether your education was relevant to your career field and how impressive your work experience has been in the intervening years. If you have recently received a graduate or professional degree, your education would usually go at the top of your resume. As a junior or senior, your GPA should always be mentioned, as long as it is above 3. 0. Most recruiters will assume that it is below 3. 0 if they do not see it on your resume. (The phrase "3. 2/4. 0" indicates that you have a 3. 2 GPA on a scale that runs up to 4. 0. Some schools use a 5. 0 scale. ) Your GPA is printed on your most recent Millersville transcript. Do not round up your GPA. If you have a 3. 90, put that down. Do not round up to a 4. 00. Employers want to see accurate information and may compare your resume GPA with your official transcript. Continued… ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 9

Education…continued This section always goes first on your resume, as long as you are in school. "Courses studied" or "Relevant Coursework" is an optional section. If you have taken courses outside your major that are relevant to the job (or if you simply want to emphasize your academic training relevant to the job or internship), you would definitely benefit from including this section. For example, if you were a Philosophy major trying to find work in the computer industry, and you had taken three courses in the Computer Science department, you would definitely include them in a "Relevant Courses" section. " Significant honors and awards can be included as a sub-category of your Education section. High school materials do not belong on your resume. High school or its equivalent is presumed of all college students. Nobody cares where you went, or the fact that you were your high school’s track star or band nerd. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 10

Experience What should you include in this section? Don't feel that you must limit this section to paid work experiences, especially if you are still in college or a recent graduate. Employers understand that the most valuable or most challenging experiences often occur in internships, volunteer work, or other extracurricular activities. Nursing Clinical Experience - List placements in reverse chronological order, including dates. Describe type of setting, responsibilities, and knowledge gained. Student Teaching Experience - Include name and location of placements, dates involved, and grade level of assignment. Major responsibilities in teaching area should be emphasized. Content: With the specific job you are applying for in mind, sit down and write a paragraph about each of your jobs or activities. Choose from one to eight sentences (depending on the extent of your responsibilities) that encapsulate the skills you used at this job or activity, your duties, and your significant accomplishments that are likely to be relevant for the job this particular resume is targeting. Continued… ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 11

Experience…continued Include both your duties AND your accomplishments. Duties tell the employer you can do the job. Accomplishments indicate that you will go above and beyond the call of duty: Duties alone can sound bland: "Wrote articles, researched topics, filed documents"? Accomplishments and contributions set you apart from the other applicants -- "Researched and wrote weekly Music Notes for local arts newspaper. Created archival database that saved staff several hours of work per week. Chosen from among seven interns to represent newspaper at Music. Fest 2001 festival; wrote feature story that ran on front page. " Use action verb sentence fragments: wrote, managed, researched, coached, planned" etc. Where possible, use keywords - Resumes that are sent to an employer by e-mail or that are entered onto a form on the Web may end up on a resume database. When recruiters seek resumes from these databases, they try to match certain keywords appropriate to a particular career field. Particularly for job seekers with experience in that career field, it is important that your resume contain some of those keywords. Cite numbers to make a point (e. g. number of people supervised, number of children in classroom; size of event; budget you oversaw, etc. ) Be concise. Avoid meta-discourse, including use of the pronoun "I". Include "buzz" words only if you are sure of their meaning and you know your audience will be too. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 12

Activities, Volunteer Work, Interests If you choose to separate your work experience from your extracurricular activities or volunteer work, they can go in a separate section. BUT they don't have to go in a separate section. REMEMBER, though, that some of these activities may demonstrate your skills just as well or even better than your paid work experience. You do not need to demote these activities to the bottom of your resume. Employers spend an average of 15 -30 seconds looking at each resume. What's left at the bottom of your resume may not get any attention. A note about "interests": listing your "interests" or hobbies on a resume is okay, but generally you should not do so at the expense of leaving out other, more important information. When should you list your interests? When your interests or hobbies are so unusual that they are bound to attract positive attention. (One recent alumna, applying for work in the investment industry, listed "sky diving" as a hobby. Every recruiter that interviewed her started the interview off with a question about her hobby. ) When your interests or hobbies reflect positively on your job skills. For example, if you are applying for work as a paralegal and you love chess, the recruiter may equate your hobby with analytical abilities. That you babysat gerbils: not so much. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 13

Skills This is an optional section - if specific skills are necessary to the job, or if your skills help you stand out from the crowd, then include a skills section in your resume. Computer skills: You may wish to list the systems (Macintosh, IBM, UNIX, etc. ) and unusual applications that apply to the job you seek. Yes to Filemaker Pro, Pagemaker, Dreamweaver & HTML, etc. Don’t bother with more mainstream software such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc If you know programming languages, list those as well. You may even want to use italicized sub-categories: Systems: Applications: Programming Languages: ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 14

Languages and Lab Skills Languages: List languages in which you have more than just some basic ability. In other words, if you are able to carry on a conversation in, and/or read that language, fluently list it. Indicate your level of ability ("basic conversational ability, " "proficiency, " "near-fluency, " "fluency") or the number of years of college-level study. Laboratory skills: If you are applying for scientific or laboratory positions, you may want to create a list of your lab skills. A biology major might break those skills down into sub-categories such as "histology, " "cell culture, " and "staining. " Of course, the sub-categories and skills mentioned should be relevant to the particular job. Always check your skills list with a professor or mentor, unless you have significant professional experience in that career field. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 15

References Don't write "References Available On Request" on your resume. This went out of style over a decade ago. Don’t plan to use relatives, your pastor, or other personal references. Do create a references list as soon as you can and have it available, in case an employer asks for references. Do plan to use professors, advisors, and employers you are certain can speak positively and knowledgeably about to your abilities. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 16

Select your format Selecting your resume format is a major strategic decision. Real and compelling differences characterize the two most common formats, which have impact on the receptivity employers have to your initiatives. No universally "right" format is appropriate for all people. Your review of your own objective and background will be your most effective guide to selecting the best format for you. 1. Chronological Your employment record is the primary organizing principle for this format. A job-by-job historical narrative or your work effectiveness. The pure chronological resume can be too mundane, a bland work autobiography. It is descriptive, but tends not to be persuasive about personal qualifications. 2. Functional Your key skills, knowledge and related accomplishments are the primary organizing principles of this format, citing relevant examples of effectiveness as proof and prediction of your ability to contribute. The pure functional resume is too free-floating and reads like a set of assertions about abilities, unlinked to verifiable sources of confirmation. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 17

Select your format Combination format Whether you prefer the chronological or functional format, the most effective resume blends the best elements of each. ____________________________ 3. Chronological combination This format retains the structure of a job-by-job delineation of experience and emphasizes accomplishments, the hallmark of the functional resume. 4. Functional combination This format retains the structure of key skills, knowledge and accomplishments, incorporating a distilled EXPERIENCE section, which denotes career-related time/space anchors, the hallmark of the chronological resume.

Bad Resume: ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 27

Resumes There are three surefire ways to write a bad resume: Make it too long. Obscure your background with your interpretation of your strengths and skills. Give a vague chronology. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 28

DO include on your résumé Name, address, phone number, and e-mail address Job objective College major, degree, name of college, and graduation date, QPA (if 3. 0 or better) Jobs held, employers, dates, and duties Special aptitudes and skills ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 29

Do NOT include on your résumé Bases for discrimination Religion Ethnicity Age Gender Photograph Marital status High school activities Pointless activities for the position. (Nobody cares that you babysat if you are applying to become a CPA at an accounting firm. ) ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 30

Job objective Too general: An office position within a progressive company that offers excellent growth opportunities An accounting position in an organization that values loyalty and rewards hard work ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 31

Too specific: A secretary to the sales manager in the Loop area of downtown Chicago An assistant internal auditor for a federally chartered bank in San Francisco ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 32

Helpful: A secretarial position in sales management in the metropolitan Chicago area An internal auditing position in the financial industry on the West Coast ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 33

Describe Your Education Virtually all new college grads should lead off with education. Do not include high school materials. That’s a given for a college grad. Do include all your colleges, starting with the most recent. Include information on major and minor, QPA (3. 0 or above) Include information on specific courses if they particularly pertain to the job at issue. Include other courses and certifications as pertinent. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 34

Describing your work experience Not: Worked as a night manager at Arby’s restaurant. But: Supervised a six-person night crew; handled all customer and worker complaints; closed the store each evening and made nightly deposits. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 35

Not: Worked as a student assistant for a business professor. But: Typed exams for a business professor, graded assignments, and formatted manuscripts using desktop publishing software. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 36

Not: Worked as a packager on an assembly line. But: Learned the value of precision and teamwork while working as a packager on a fast-paced assembly line; received Employee-of-the-Month award during my first year. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 37

Pay attention to details Layout and design must be crisp and clean There must be NO technical, grammar, or spelling mistakes Make sure the document is machine readable. Don’t use odd fonts, pictures, etc. Unless you are a teacher/professor, your resume should fit on one page. My mother was a senior vice president for Coca Cola. Her resume fit on one page: so can yours. Teacher’s resumes can be multiple pages. Include the details of all student teaching opportunities. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 38

Application Letters The letter ‘reads’ the resume to the perspective employer. Never send a job application ‘To Whom It May Concern’. Take the time to call the company and ask who will be receiving it. Write specifically to that person. After all, if you don’t take the time or care, why should the company? Make it very plain in the first line just what job you are applying for. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 39

Application Letter: Continued Remember to use the ‘you’ attitude. In what ways will you be a good fit for them? Show that you have done your homework, and have thought about just why you’ll be a good fit. Talk like the professional you want to be perceived as. Unless you’re looking for a job as a nanny, for example, it seriously doesn’t matter that you were a good babysitter in high school. It does matter that you did an internship with a firm in the field. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 40

Application-letter bloopers I am a rabid typist. I’m very thorough. I cross every I and dot every T. Here are my qualifications for you to overlook. I believe you would be very lucky to get me to work for you. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 41

My true ability is deceiving. As you can see, Dr. Tilton recommended me with no qualifications whatsoever. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearig from you shorty. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 42

Stressful interview questions Describe a time when you were faced with a stressful situation that demonstrated your coping skills. Give me an example of when you had to conform to a policy with which you did not agree. Give me an example of when you had to make a split-second decision. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 43

Tell me about a time when you were able to successfully deal with another person even when that individual may not have personally liked you (or vice versa). Give me an example of a time when something you tried to accomplish failed. Tell me about a time when you were forced to make an unpopular decision. Describe a time when you set your sights too high (or too low). ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 44

Job-interview bloopers A job applicant challenged the interviewer to arm wrestle. A job candidate said he had never finished high school because he was kidnapped and kept in a closet in Mexico. A balding candidate excused himself and then returned wearing a full hairpiece. A clumsy candidate fell and broke an arm during the interview. ENGL 316 Dr. Bonnie Duncan 45

A candidate said he didn’t have time for lunch and then started to eat a hamburger and fries in the interviewer’s office. An applicant interrupted the questioning to phone her therapist for advice. A candidate dozed during the interview. A candidate muttered, “Would it be a problem if I’m angry most of the time? ” An applicant wore headphones to the interview and, when asked to remove them, explained that she could listen to the interviewer and the music at the same time.
