Everything About Résumés
A résumé is an executive summary of your qualifications to perform a responsible role in the workplace. A résumé distills to one page all of your education, training, work, and life experience in relationship to your potential value to an employer or an opportunity.
A résumé is...
- An introduction to employers and evaluators. Be sure to check your grammar and spelling with many reviews.
- An advertisement of your employability and career potential. Make your résumé attractive, easy to read, and market-savvy.
- A document of achievements. Never misrepresent your qualifications, and always show learning, pursuit, and contributions.
- A roadmap of your career growth and direction. Make it easy for employers to see chronology and patterns of development.
- An interview prompt for recruiters. Highlight the achievements you want to talk about in an interview; and be sure you are prepared to discuss the achievements you highlight. (For example, if you report that you are a member of the Sociology Society, what will you say if the interviewer asks you to describe society benefits and activities?)
