Instructions: Take 5-10 minutes to review the resume that is being handed out. Your goal is to find different aspects of this resume that are either wrong or that you can improve upon. Be sure to take notice of not only the content of this resume, but also its aesthetics and overall presentation.
Heading (if including address): Make sure that your heading is easily readable. Your name must be a larger font than any other part of the resume. Use a professional e-mail address (ex. [email protected]). Examples:
Objective (optional): Objectives must be a concise statement for the type of position you are seeking. Your resume should support your objective by demonstrating how you are qualified for the position you are seeking. Another option is to use a summary statement that highlights your years of experience. Example: Human Resources Generalist Human Resources Generalist with 10 years of progressive experience managing employee benefits & compliance, employee hiring & onboarding, performance management processes, licensure tracking and HR records. Dependable and organized team player with the ability to communicate effectively and efficiently. Skilled at building relationships with employees across all levels of an organization.

Experience: The experience section should list job titles, dates, organization, location and description. Use action verbs and write in the past tense. Your experiences should be listed in order of most recent. Be sure that each statement refers to either skills you gained, thing you were really good at, and impacts you had in the job. Avoid using non-descript fragments and emphasize transferable skills.

Suggested new products that increased earnings by 23%. District Sales Manager, August 1985 – May 1994 Ferguson and Bardell, Southridge, WA Increased regional sales from $25 million to $350 million. Managed 250 sales representatives in 10 Western states. Implemented training course for new recruits – speeding profitability.

Tips: • NO TIPS References: • Preference – use “Available upon request” • Only use a separate page if the employer is specifically requests this information
A cover letter is used to: • Introduce yourself in a more personal manner • State why you would be a great candidate for the position • Explain details more thoroughly than written in your resume • Sell your skills and really connect them to the job 29 • Hiring managers are particularly keen on cover letters, especially for high level jobs. • Your cover letter should: • Be addressed to a specific individual if possible • Be well formatted and well organized • Be a one page document • Specifically reference the job for which you are applying • Have a professional tone – avoid being too casual Think of it as a tool to bridge the gap between your resume and getting an interview.
