Many students have asked about the purpose of a resume. Well the purpose is to present something about you and your background to potential employers that you are interested in interviewing for. “A good resume won’t get you the job but a bad resume could prevent you from getting the interview.” The appearance of your resume is important. Make it easy to follow or it could be the end of your chances of interviewing for that job. A resume should not be more the one page. You should stay at 10pt or higher. It is a good idea to have multiple people proofread your resume. You may miss a few human errors when reading it yourself over and over again. The essential parts of a resume is the Heading (name, and contact information), Career Objective (a concise statement of what you want to do), Employment History (company name, date of employment, and job titles), Responsibility and Accomplishment Statements (tells employers about your key professional experiences), Education, Professional Development and Training, and Memberships. It is a good idea to accompany a resume by a cover letter. A cover letter is a personalized introduction about you, your resume and why you’re the best fit for the job. Last a resume is a living document. It should always grow with you. Get in the habit of updating your resume every six months.
