- The process of writing a resume is good preparation for a job search.
- It encourages you to review your accomplishments and identify experiences that are relevant to your job target and are likely to interest a potential employer.
- It is a tool to help you obtain a job interview.
- You don't need to include everything you have experienced, just enough to interest an employer in meeting you in person.
- The test of a good resume is whether or not you are getting interviews.
- There is no one right way to write a resume.
- Within each profession there are expectations of what a "good" resume will look like.
- Some employers look for evidence of a well-rounded individual.
- Others look for a concrete focus supported with relevant experience, while others are impressed with accomplishments that show stability and long-term commitment.
- Have your drafts reviewed at Career Services and also ask someone in your target profession to critique it.
- If you are looking for jobs in more than one field, you may need more than one resume.
