  1. Resume Writing

  2. Hi, my name is… • First name, middle initial, and last name • Make sure this is the most visible part of the resume…you want them to remember who you are • Address • Capitalize all words including Street, Boulevard, etc. • Either place city, state, zip on the next line or separate from address by a comma • Other contact information (phone # and e-mail) • (402) xxx-xxxx <--Don’t forget your area code • DO NOT USE AN E-MAIL THAT IS UNPROFFESSIONAL!

  3. I would like to… • Objective • This is where you write what you want in regard to the position/school/scholarship you are applying for • Example objectives • To be accepted into the University of _____________. • To be considered for the ______________ scholarship. • To work for ______________ as a ________________. • Remember • If you are sending the same resume to multiple places, change your objective to fit each situation, or make your objective more generic in order to fit multiple needs.

  4. Your life to date… • Education • Dates of high school, name of school you will graduate from (Burke), GPA, class rank, any special classes you took (AP, Honors, etc.), honor roll • Work Experience • Date started to date ended (or present), Business, Location, Job title • List your duties in that particular job (past-tense, use exciting verbs)

  5. More details… • Volunteer Experience • List each place you volunteered and the date on separate lines • Extracurricular Activities • List the activity and the year(s) • Awards • List any award you may have received in high school

  6. Remember! • Your resume must be 1 page long or less – NOT longer • Arial or Times New Roman 10-12 point • Your name can be bolded and larger, but do not use a hard to read font • PROOFREAD! Typos will render your resume unnecessary. Turning in a resume that appears has little work put into it does not look good. • Ask for help if you have questions. • Use a Microsoft Word Template when you are ready to type.
