Resume+Building

A resume is a brief written summary of who you are and what you have done


 * It is often the first impression an employer has of you, so it is important that you take the time to do it well
 * The resume should grab the employers attention and lead to an interview
 * Check your resume carefully for any mistakes and have another individual proofread it as well
 * Include the most important aspects of your work, educational and volunteer experiences
 * Limit your resume to a maximum of two pages

What to include...


 * Skills - abilities learned and developed by way of training
 * Strengths - personality based traits and attributes (i.e. able to get along well with others)
 * Educational Experience - what school? when? achievements?
 * Work/Volunteer Experience - where? when? duties/responsibilities?
