Creating Resumes That Come Out On Top
30 SECONDS IS ALL IT TAKES FOR “YES” OR “NO”!
Employers receive hundreds of resumes for job openings and the screening process is usually quick and decisive: within thirty seconds your resume goes onto one of three piles: “yes,” “no,” or “maybe.” The “yes” candidates have succeeded in communicating to the employer that they have the skills and qualifications needed for the job and have an excellent chance of receiving an interview. Your resume is the first formal introduction between you and hiring organizations. It is imperative that your resume clearly and concisely spells out your career objective, skills, education, and achievements. The “targeted resume” is the most effective resume format for getting and keeping the attention of the employer.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A “CHRONOLOGICAL RESUME” AND A “TARGETED RESUME.” CHRONOLOGICAL (Example on pg 51) In the “olden days” the chronological resume was the format most commonly used. This format lists your educational and work experience in reverse chronological order. By listing your experience all in one “Experience” category, oftentimes unrelated experience ends up distracting from more important experience. For example your most recent experience might be that restaurant job you have to help pay for college expenses and the employer will see that before other relevant experience such as an internship or cooperative education experience.
THE TARGETED RESUME (Example on pg 51) Targeting your resume essentially involves choosing particular career goals or objectives and designing a resume to achieve them. If you have done a complete inventory of your qualifications, you should be able to identify strengths that can translate into potential career directions. By creating multiple experience categories (i.e. “Administrative Experience,” “Teaching Experience,” “Other Experience,” etc.) you can help employers focus on those experiences most relevant to the position you are applying for. If your job search includes multiple job objectives, you can have two or three different resumes which place emphasis on different targeted objectives.
YOUR RESUME Your resume is like an advertisement of yourself to a prospective employer. You want your resume to look and sound appealing to enhance your chances of being selected for an interview. Ultimately, your resume presents your skills, abilities, and qualifications as they relate to the position you are applying for. Before developing your resume it is important to know what skills employers are seeking. SKILLS COMMONLY SOUGHT BY EMPLOYERS • Communication skills • Listening skills • Interpersonal skills • Ability to organize and coordinate • Creativity • Leadership Skills • Ability to motivate others • Adaptability • Persuasive skills • Team/Group dynamics knowledge

“Your resume is like an advertisement of yourself to employers”
USING ACTION VERBS TO HIGHLIGHT SKILLS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Action verbs are used to emphasize your skills and accomplishments, avoids personal pronouns, and uses action words to describe duties. EFFECTIVE ACTION VERBS- EXAMPLES •Conduct individual, small and large group counseling sessions. •Advise students regarding college majors and admission requirements. •Designed, selected, and implemented instructional materials for course unit, “Columbus Sailed the Ocean Blue.” . • Conducted analysis of processes and procedures on existing equipment. • Constructed, administered, and evaluated formal and informal tests. • Redesigned a cereal packaging line •Designed equipment interface, configured automated scales, and recommended line flow alterations that decreased cycle time by 10% •Directed and supervised three plant superintendents and twenty-five production supervisors in a 300,000 square foot facility consisting of 525 employees •Met and exceeded $200,000 sales quota set by sales supervisors and management •Reconcile bank statements for operating and payroll accounts. •Developed software for emerging growth welding robotics firm •Conducted research on market potential and demographics •Provided line sketches and equipment recommendations. See the “Resume Verb List” on the next page for more ideas to improve your resume.
POINTS TO CONSIDER: Be brief: Your resume should be as complete as possible without being redundant or irrelevant. Usually the resume will be one page long. As a rule of thumb, for each additional degree and/or seven years of experience, you can add another page. If you do have a two-page resume, be sure that the essential or primary information can be scanned quickly and appears on the front page. Be consistent in style and content: Stylistic gimmicks (e.g., underlining, asterisks, indenting, bold type) can be effective but should not be overused. Be logical: Make sure the information flows smoothly and sensibly. Remember: YOU determine how a person reads your resume. We read left to right, top to bottom. Prioritize and arrange your information accordingly. Be conscious of image: Remember that your resume and cover letter are often your first contacts with a prospective employer. Resumes should be visually appealing and should not contain typographical or grammatical errors.

BUILDING YOUR RESUME Your resume is like an advertisement of yourself to a prospective employer.
You want your
resume to look and sound appealing to enhance your chances of being selected for an interview. Ultimately, your resume presents your skills, abilities, and qualifications as they relate to the position you are applying for.
Before developing
your resume it is important to know what skills employers are seeking. SKILLS COMMONLY SOUGHT BY EMPLOYERS • Oral skills • Written skills • Ability to organize and coordinate • Intercommunication skills • Creativity
BUILDING YOUR RESUME: CATEGORIES The following elements are often included in resumes. Arrange whichever categories you use to reflect your strengths in the most advantageous way. CONTACT INFORMATION: Your name, address(es), phone number(s) with area codes. It is acceptable to include your e-mail address. OBJECTIVE: One sentence stating the kind of position you want, the task(s) you want to perform, or the environment in which you wish to work. EDUCATION: Name of institution, city, state, degree, major, and month and year of graduation. You may wish to include would be schools attended overseas; course work directly applicable to the desired job; minor; GPA (overall or departmental). The highest degree earned should be listed first, then continue backward.
CERTIFICATION: Include your area/level of certification and date received EXPERIENCE: Name of organization, job title, city, state, dates of employment or service, and active verb descriptions (*) of responsibilities and duties usually in bullet form. For targeted Resumes you can highlight specific experience: “Administrative Experience,” “Management Experience” “Related Experience,” “Other Experience,” etc. SKILLS: Provide a list of skills or qualifications that you would like the employer to know about that may not come through in other headings. List computer languages, programs, systems, etc. For example: Excellent team player; Work well independently while also in team situations; Excellent oral and written communication skills. HONORS/AWARDS: Academic scholarships, grants, academic honors, awards (e.g. Geology Student of the Year) and Dean’s List (may also be included under Education section) LANGUAGES: Foreign Languages: Define the level of your ability : “Fluent,” “Literate,” “Conversant” PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS: Professional and community affiliations, clubs/organizations, and student groups. Include name of organization, dates of membership, and offices held, if any. INTERESTS/ACTIVITIES (Optional): Special interests, activities, or travel experiences. REFERENCES: Not Necessary but if you want, the statement “references available upon request” is preferred. List references on a separate page (name, address and phone) which matches your resume paper. Do not send unless they ask for them! OTHER HEADINGS: “Special Skills;” “Publications;” “Professional Development” (training, seminars, conferences, workshops), “Class Projects,” “Study Abroad,” “If you have something else to add that would be relevant, make a heading that’s appropriate and include it!
LAYOUT, FORMAT AND PRINTING FORMAT: • Are general headings (education, experience, etc) consistently presented and set apart in some way from the other material (by capitalizing, underlining, spacing, bold-facing, etc)? • Does the order of material presented emphasize what you intend it to? Is the order logical? Are the items in reverse chronological order (i.e., most recent experience first)? • Is the length of the resume appropriate to the amount of material presented and to the job objective? • Does the resume have an overall neat, readable appearance? Is it easy to scan? Is there sufficient but not excessive white space? PRINTING: • Your resume should be word-processed. • Have it printed on “resume” paper (stationery stores or office supply stores have a selection of paper for resume writing). Use pale colors such as white, ivory, gray, cream, beige, or off-white. Avoid loud and garish colors and bright white. • Test your resume by photocopying it. Oftentimes employers copy your resume and pass it on to others in the organization. CONTENT • Are the topic headings specific enough to invite reader interest? • Is the information presented specific and concise? Is it quantitative where appropriate? • Are accomplishments and problem-solving skills emphasized? • Are your name, address, and telephone number, and email address at the top of the first page? If there is a second page, is your last name and “page 2” at the top? • Is all important information included? • Is extraneous material (hobbies, marital status, age, irrelevant memberships, repetitious information, etc) eliminated?
STYLE • Do sentences begin with action verbs? • Is grammatical style consistent throughout? • Is choice of vocabulary appropriate to your job target? • Are punctuation and spelling correct? • Are sentences and paragraphs of a readable length? (Paragraphs ideally should be no longer than a few lines) • Have extraneous phrases, such as “duties included” been eliminated? • Do any of your phrases or sentences contain personal pronouns? LAYOUT • Fonts: Avoid using Courier, it is a wide font and takes up too much room. Common resume fonts include Times Roman, Helvectica, Palatino. There are many new fonts that look great too. Experiment with your font menu! • Font Size: 11point the average; 10 point is lowest you would want to go.
10 | THE EDGE
• Margins: .5 inch margins top, bottom, right and left are recommended to give you space you need. In Microsoft Word go to “File” then “Page Setup” and change each margin. It is almost impossible to have a one page resume with the default margins. • Bullets are used to highlight verb statements on a resume. It is recommended to go to “Insert” and then select “Symbol” and insert a bullet where you want it. The bullet wizard in Word adds too much spacing that takes away valuable space on your resume. FINALLY: Proofread, Proofread, Proofread!! Always have someone else proof your resume. You have worked so much with your resume you will just not see those typos or mistakes that someone else can spot in seconds!. Career Services offers resume critiques to help you make sure your resume is perfect!

A WORD ABOUT REFERENCES SHOULD YOU LIST YOUR REFERENCES ON YOUR RESUME? Should you list your references on your resume? Experts disagree, but I think you should list your references, either on your resume, or on a separate Reference Sheet, if those references are recognizable by name or title. Let me give you an example. I was working with a student once. We had completed his resume, and I asked if he wanted to list references. “What kind?” he asked. “Well,” I said, “do you have anybody who would recommend you and who is recognizable by name or title? He then proceeded to name a United States Senator and a United States Congressman whom he had known all his life. Those names, addresses, and telephone numbers went down on his resume. If someone famous will recommend you, put the name on your resume. Is it “name dropping” to do so? You bet it is. And it works. Alternatively, if someone with a spiffy title will recommend you, put the name, title, address, and phone number on your resume. Spiffy titles include: Professor, Dean, President, Owner, Manager, and so on. If you decide to list references, make sure you personally call them and ask their permission. Make certain you tell each reference you intend to include his or her name, address, and phone number on your resume. One very effective alternative to listing your references directly on your resume is to have a separate “Reference Sheet.” In this way you can send out resumes that do not reveal names and addresses of your references and then present the Reference Sheet at the interview. Or you might decide that some prospective employers should receive references at the same time they receive your resume. Then you include the Reference Sheet with the resume. From Resumes for Reentry by C. Edward Good
Usually, three references are provided. Be sure your name is on the separate Reference Sheet. Example of the correct format for listing references: Thomas English, Ph.D. Professor of Civil Engineering University of North Florida One UNF Drive Jacksonville, FL 32224 (904) 620-1234 tenglish@unf.edu
