Resume Help
Your resume can be one of the strongest determining factors in a successful job interview. As a result, having your resume ready and polished before you begin your search for a career is a definite must. A resume is an organized summary of your qualification, skills, experiences, and ambitions. It should touch on all things which influence your qualifications for a particular job or type of employment including career focus, hands-on skills and training, and academic preparation (i.e. co-ops, internships, paraprofessional summer work and/or part-time experiences). The information within each resume can be organized differently for each individual, but some of the most common categories are:

Note: Your Employment Objective always comes first. The order in which the other categories are listed on the resume is determined by how directly related they are to the objective.
The Traditional Resume
There are two basic types of the traditional resume: chronological and functional. The format you choose depends on your employment background.
- Chronological: Listing qualifications starting with the most recent and working back through the years.
- Functional: Highlighting abilities and potentials rather than work history.
Note: You may combine the chronological and functional resumes. It does not have to be one or the other. Students interested in having a booklet of sample resumes may pick one up in the Resource Library located in the Career Development Office.
