What are some the Essential items needed on a resume. There are lots of resources online, but here are some basics for you to guide you through building a resume. Your Name Address Phone number -cell phone is probably best and make sure to have an appropriate voicemail message including your nameEmail addressCareer Objectives: Customize the objective to match each position you apply for. Rather than sending out a generic resume to multiple employers, show that you care enough to state why you want this job. The statement should indicate something desirable in your skill set or what you plan to contribute to the company if you are selected for the position. KEEP IT BRIEF 2-3 STATEMENTS/SENTENCES Educational History: List the diplomas, degrees, training workshops, continuing education programs, and other relevant forms and levels of education you have obtained. Work Experience: This section is often considered the “heart” of a resume. Give a brief outline of your career progression by presenting the relevant jobs in your work history (IF YOU HAVE NEVER HAD A JOB IT’S OKAY) Make sure that starting and ending dates, job titles, and employer information are accurate. Volunteer Experience: This section describes your unpaid experiences, which can be beneficial for showing that you are a well-rounded person outside of the work environment. Keep this section brief, and tailor it to match the career/job objective or job posting. Highlight relevant skills acquired, such as leadership or organizational skills. Awards & Certificates List a selection of relevant academic awards, scholarships, and/or certifications (maximum 6)Extracurricular Activities: List your relevant activities, including organization name and dates. Use the Description field to explain your role (e.g. Member or Officer), duties performed, and transferrable skills acquired. Skills & Abilities: This section provides a customized snapshot of your unique skill set, qualifications, and personal attributes. Many people, therefore, choose to place it right after the career/job objective so that employers will be more likely to read it. References: Choose your references carefully and obtain their permission before forwarding any of their contact information to another party. It’s a good idea to give your references a copy of your resume and discuss your qualifications before they are contacted by potential employers.Note that you can move sections in the Resume Highlighting your skills and qualifications when searching for an entry-level position may be more valuable than your work experience so go ahead and list them higher. You do not have to use full sentences, but the descriptions should be free of grammatical errors and inconsistencies. Be precise and accurate in your wording. RESUMES SHOULD BE LIMITED TO ONE PAGE, human resources departments read 100-1000's of them, especially in your early years of employment. Part 4 Job Application: Below you will find a VERY BASIC job application, please complete it. If you do not know what one of the items is, it is your job to search it up online and complete the application.
