Collect and organize against grabbing any old resume ...
This worksheet will help you collect and organize all of the information you will need to create a beautiful and effective resume, one that will attract employers into calling you for job interviews.
Before you can begin writing your resume, you need to gather up all the relevant information that will go on your resume and that's why you need this worksheet.
I strongly advise against grabbing any old resume template you find on the internet and cobbling your own from that template. If you use a poorly written resume template as your starting point, your final version won't be any better.
But don't worry, I'll will show you where can download a wide variety of great resume templates from a trustful source. You'll find that link at the end of this worksheet.
If you want a truly effective resume, one that you are proud of, one that will impress employers, and one that you wrote yourself, then follow my resume writing advice.
There is a lot of information you'll need to assemble your resume and this worksheet will make it easy for you to organize that information in to a format that works best for you.
All you need to do is fill in the blanks with your details under each section. Don't worry about writing your actual resume yet because that will come later.
I have placed all of the following categories in chronological order and in most cases your resume should follow this format, from one category to another. Though, if you have an overriding need to go out of sequence, then do so at your discretion. The real purpose of this Resume Worksheet is to help you gather and organize all of your information you will use to write your resume, and not necessarily to create a new section for everything. The only sections that are required are on a resume are: HEADING, EXPERIENCE, and EDUCATION. Everything else is optional.

LET'S BEGIN...
HEADING
At the top of every resume you need your name and contact information. Believe it or not, I've see resumes without any of this. This step is pretty straight forward, but it will get tougher. Name: __________________________________________________________ Address: _________________________________________________________ Phone #: _________________________________________________________ Email: ___________________________________________________________
NOTE: Always use your best phone number and email address. Avoid using more than one. Do you really think an employer is going to reach out to you at multiple addresses and phone numbers? Probably not. Some people like to put their picture on the top of their resume. This would be optional and I can't say one way or the other if it will improve your chances of getting called for the interview. Putting a picture on your resume or CV tends to be more common in Europe, but not so much in the United States.

JOB OBJECTIVE
Optional, but highly recommended. What type of position are you seeking? You want to include an objective statement to clarify your candidacy and make it easier for prospective employers to understand what type of position you are looking for. Without an objective, anyone who reads your resume will not immediately understand the type of job you want. An objective statement can be a career goal, industry, a type of position, or even the exact title of a position. About 50% of resume writers will tell you objectives are outdated and not to use one, but I completely disagree with this non-sense and strongly encourage you to use one. Most resume writers were never in a position to hire someone, unlike me, and I know for a fact that recruiters like objectives. Start off by writing down 3 or 4 different objectives and we'll pick the best one later.
Objective #1: __________________________________________________________ Objective #2: __________________________________________________________ Objective #3: __________________________________________________________ Objective #4: __________________________________________________________

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
This is my favorite section to write. I suggest having 4-7 bulleted accomplishments about some of the most awesome things you have done in your career that are relevant to the job you are seeking.
You want to put your best accomplishments here, and for everything else, put those under your work experience.
Accomplishments are most powerful when they talk about an action you took to solve a problem, the results you achieved, and how the company benefited.
Some resume writers will use a SKILLS SUMMARY instead of an accomplishment section, but I totally disagree with this because a Skills Summary is nothing more than a bunch of skills listed without context. But an Accomplishment section lists your skills in context.
Anyone can say they have [blank] skills, but few can write about how they used their skills to solve problems. And that's why you want Accomplishment section instead of a Skills Summary.
If you have ZERO work experience, it may be difficult to come up with some accomplishments. So in cases like that, you might look back to your college years to see if you have anything you can use.
Keep in mind that an Accomplishment section or Skills Summary are optional, but I can't think of any reason why you would not want to have one.
Start writing your Accomplishment section by writing down some of your key skills, and then turn those in to accomplishments by saying what you did to solve a specific problem and who benefited from your efforts.

EXPERIENCE
Your work experience can be jobs you worked, internships or any physical experience you have that is related to the types of jobs you are seeking. When listing your responsibilities, duties and accomplishments, describe them in concise, but simple statements with each statement starting off with an action verb like: Developed, Managed, Led, Taught, Implemented, Grew, Exceeded, etc. But don't focus too much on making them perfect right now because this is just the information gathering phase. We'll work on refining and improving everything later. Fill out your work experience for each job on the next page...
