Overview
Whether you are creating your first resume or making a few updates, this resume guide
provides tips for each section of a resume regarding the formatting and the content.
Although there are many ways to create a resume, this guide provides a simple structure
to capture all of the important information an employer might want to see.
If you want another opinion on your resume, your career coach will be happy to review
it with you.
Check out these frequently asked questions for an overview of how to format your resume and what information to include:
The sections on your resume can vary. Always have Education first, and then consider Experience, Activities, Internship Experience, Volunteer Experience, and/or a Skills section.
The resume should be one font type. Make it easy to read, such as Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri.
The body of the resume should have font size between 10-12pt.
Keep your resume to one page with the most relevant experience included. It is ok to leave off irrelevant experiences. Talk with your career coach to learn what would be good include.
Margins should be between .5in and 1in.
Within a section, if multiple entries are present, list in reverse chronological order by date (i.e. May 2017 entry coming before April 2017 entry).
For each experience on your resume, you should include the following:
Name of Business/Organization/Event
Location (ex: Bloomington, IN)
Dates
Position Title (if applicable)
Use consistent format for all dates in resume (i.e. month, year or season, year). Align with other dates on page. Use consistent dash style.
Yes! Your descriptions should always be bulleted lists including a skill verb first, then how you completed the task, and lastly the purpose or result of the tasks.
Skill verb + how + why/result
Do
NOT
include personal information such as birth date, race/ethnicity, or hobbies and interests.
You do not need to mention references directly on your resume. Employers will ask for them and you can include them on a separate document.
