RÉSUMÉ PROJECT

Recommended résumé styles seem to change with the times.  You need to choose a layout that is most flattering to your job/education history.

The chronological format spells out the job history from most recent, backward--with the most recent job having the most space.  This format is best when your career direction is clear and the job targeted is directly in line with your work history, or when the name of your last employer adds strong prestige.

The functional format describes information by function.  This style is best when you have gaps in your employment history that you do not want to call attention to.  It highlights major areas of accomplishments and lets you play up a particularly strong area of ability.

A sample of each format is included in the following pages.

Don't include:

·                     Reasons for leaving last job

·                     Salary information

·                     Availability or location preferred

·                     Social Security Number

·                     Height/weight/etc.

·                     Picture

·                     Date of résumé preparation or date available to begin work

            (Both indicate how long you have been looking for a job.  Exception:  When you are looking for seasonal work)

·                     References or a statement that references are available on request

            (Instead, list them on a separate sheet and adapt them to each employment situation)

·                     Hobbies and outside interests

            (Exceptions: Those that relate to professional interests or show traits that an employer wants)

·                     High school education if you have a college degree

·                     Maiden name (for women)

·                     ANYTHING TO SCREEN YOU OUT

Regardless of style, résumés should be limited to two pages, with absolutely no typographical or grammatical errors.  Try to use power verbs such as "streamlined," "tabulated," reorganized," "performed," in describing your job duties.
