Job Hunting 101: the Resume

• A resume is a summary of your experience and skills that relate to the job you are looking to acquire
• It accents personal accomplishments to show a potential employer what you have to offer
• Don't make it a biography of your entire life
• Remember you are using this to get an interview
• If you can, include more than just your paid work experience Mention volunteer and leadership experiences, for example, if applicable
• You should tailor each resume to each career field you are applying to
• Try to find resume workshops or someone who could critique your resume before you submit it
