Your resume is a marketing tool.

A way for you to “sell yourself”

A good resume is one that works = getting you invited for an interview.

Reflects your skills, knowledge.

Explains what makes you an ideal candidate.

Used in interview process.

It gives your future supervisor an idea of who you are and what your strengths/skills are

It gives you a “cheat sheet” for advertising your skills to an employer

You are going to need one eventually—both for internships, part time and post-graduate employment or graduate school

Keep it simple, one page.

No templates!!

Resume paper white or off white, heavier stock

Stay away from Italics, excessive underlining, script.

Font should be times or Arial, 10-14 point

Bullets simple, no images.

Spill cheek. (Spell Check)

Consistency with margins and headings.

Your résumé  is a marketing tool, not a biography

A résumé should be one typewritten page exactly—no more, no less

Any experience—whether paid, volunteer, or extracurricular—is worth considering for your resume

Proofread carefully for spelling and grammar
