Resumés = evilness

[aoiyumemiru]

I say this only because the one resumé that I kept on my computer, I deleted, because I didn't think that I'd ever need it again. Hah, well, silly me. So I had to start all over again on it. Which in itself isn't a problem. The problem would be remembering what the Hell is needed on the damnable things. I've got my name (obviously) and contact

Resume Contents

[m_brink]

Firstly, it is important to know what position you are applying for, so you can tailor the contents towards it, if at all possible.

Objective: Don't say $$$$$$, even if it is the truth. Give them some reason why you want that job which they won't cringe at.

Education: Where, GPA, that sort of thing.

Skills: Sell yourself. Let them know what you already know you can do that will be useful for this position.

Awards: Generally academic achievment, but if you've gotten something for voluteer work or anything like that, it could help. This section isn't vital to have.

Activities: List groups that you've been involved with, such as extra-curricular school groups, church groups, voluteer organizations, and include years which you were with them.

References: Always list a spot for references, even if you only want to put "Availible on request" and have a separate sheet for them.

Work History: List where you've worked, what your title was, describe your responsibilities, and state why you left.
