EVR 300

_____________

Here is the final list. We believe this is a pretty comprehensive list of dos and don'ts to guide us in developing our resumes. We tried to capture all that was discussed. I looked at the blackboard discussions again this morning and tried to incorporate all the new information provided. Let us know if we missed something.

Your dos and don'ts list providers are: Michael Wilson, Jennifer Singletary, Denise Warren-Hinton, and JoLynn Collins.

Dos

1.        Your resume paints a picture of you in the mind of the prospective employer. Therefore,       everything on the resume should be neat and precise. Your resume is a reflection of you.

2.        Make sure features stand out: objective(s), skills, education, and work experience. Make sure these features speak for you.

3.        Tailor your objective statement for a specific position. Be clear and state exactly what you want to achieve.

4.        Keep it simple. Be brief and concise. You want the reader to be able to see and understand the entire resume in 60 seconds or less.

5.        Decide on the format: functional, if job history is brief; chronological, for a long job history.

6.        Use active verbs.

7.        Make it easy to read with the appropriate font size (10 or 12 point).

8.        Make it flow putting the most relevant information first.

9.        List work experience before experience that is not work related.

10.        List work experience and education in reverse chronological order (from most recent).

11.        Be specific about job responsibilities and focus on achievements.

12.        List relevant skills in the order of importance.

13.        Use bullets when making lists. This will guide the reader’s eye throughout the resume.

14.        Be positive and enthusiastic.

15.        Use resume paper in white, ivory, or gray.

16.        Place jobs from which you were dismissed. It is nothing to be ashamed of; even if you were fired, add it. This can be discussed during the interview.

17.        Make sure your contact info is complete.

18.        Proofread to avoid typos and have someone else proofread. Make sure names are spelled correctly.

19.        Make sure all of your information is complete. (dates, titles, locations, etc.)

Don’ts

1.        Put too much information in the limited space. You run the risk of complicating your resume.

2.        Use small fonts in an effort to place a great deal of information in the resume.

3.        Use paragraphs.

4.        List too much experience. You do not want to be too overbearing.

5.        Exaggerate.

6.        Mention salary or wage requirement.

7.        List personal references.

8.        Use your job description to describe your skills.

9.        Use flashy paper.

10.        Put your GPA on the resume.

11.        Place activities before work experience and education.

12.        Have more than one address on your resume.

13.        Be too wordy - get straight to the point.

14.        Use abbreviations.

15.        Include personal information or pictures.

16.        Overstate your abilities.
