Resume Guidelines
Your resume should be a concise summary of the high
points of your education, work experience, and other
qualifications relevant to your audiences needs and to
your employment interests, not a complete history of your
life. It communicates your professional qualifications
to employers, to interest them in interviewing you, and
it creates their first impression of you. It is a marketing
tool and an introduction to you and your experiences. Do
enough research about the employer and the field to decide
which messages are most important to your audience, and
communicate these messages succinctly and clearly in a
visually appealing format. Here are some guidelines to help
you do this:

The Top 10 Pitfalls in Resume Writing
1. Too long. Restrict your resume to one page.
2. Typographical, grammatical, or spelling errors. Have at
least two people proofread your resume.
3. Hard to read. Keep it simple with clean lines and white space.
4. Too verbose. Say as much as possible with as few words
as possible, avoid use of jargon.
5. Not enough information.Give dates describing related
work experience, be specific about skills, accomplish-
ments, activities, interests, and memberships.
6. Irrelevant information. Customize each resume to each
position you seek (when possible). Of course, include
education and work experience, but emphasize relevant
experience, skills, accomplishments and activities. Do not
include marital status, age, sex, children, height, weight,
health, church membership, etc.
7. Obviously generic. Tweak each resume according to the
job description. The employer needs to feel that you are
interested in that particular position with his or her company.
8. Too fancy. Of course, use good quality bond paper, but
avoid exotic types, colored paper, photographs, binders,
and graphics. Electronic resumes should include appro-
priate industry keywords and use a font size between
10-12 points. Use italics and bolding sparingly.
9. Too static. Make your resume as dynamic as possible.
Begin every statement with an action verb. Use active
verbs to describe what you have accomplished in past
jobs. Take advantage of your rich vocabulary and avoid
repeating words, especially the first word in a section.
10. Too modest. The resume showcases your qualifications
in competition with the other applicants. Put your best foot
forward without misrepresentation, falsification, or arrogance.
Online Resumes
Though scanning technology and practices vary and are
constantly changing, some companies still scan resumes and/
or use keywords to identify candidates from their database.
You want to fill your resume with as many of these words as
possible. Companies that pick up many resumes at career fairs
may use scanning technology, though you should always check
with the employer requirements regarding format.
The essential keywords are specified by each employer for
each position. You can only make reasonable assumptions
about what a specific employer will ask for. Keep a log of
keywords that apply to your occupation and industry. Do not
fold or staple the resume.

Action Verbs
PAR statements in your resume make it easy for employers
to recognize your achievements. They provide a writing
formula that stresses your skills and achievements. This
is a way of writing out your skills on a resume to maximize
their impact.
Using the action verbs listed on the previous page, write
your experience in the following format.
Describe this experience in terms of demonstrated skills
and accomplishments:
1) Describe the project, the context, task, job.
2) What activity did you do?
3) What were the results, outcomes, benefits?
Present the skill as a concrete action that has been done.
Do not use the words took part in, or gained experience
in, or assisted in.
Quantify the results by stating the amount of dollars saved,
the number of clients served, the percentage increase in
productivity or improvement in efficiency.

Cover Letters
You will have to write a number of letters to employers
while looking for a job. One type of letter is the cover letter,
which you send with your resume when you are requesting
a job interview. Other letters are those you write following
up interviews, arranging company site visits, and accepting
or rejecting job offers. See the examples on the next pages.
Here are some tips:
Stateclearlyinyouropeningsentencethepurposefor
the letter. Then use the rest of the letter to support your
candidacy.
Besurethateachcoverletterisspecificallytailoredto
the company to which you are writing. Research the
company to help you determine your approach. Check the
companys website and other resources on the Internet.
Ifyouareseekingapositionthatisadeparturefrom
or an unexpected application of your academic
trainingfor example, you are an electrical engineer
who wants to use his/her quantitative skills in a finance
or consulting positionbe explicit about why you
are interested in that particular field, organization or
job, and what value you bring. Do not leave the reader
wondering, Why is an electrical engineer writing to
me, the personnel manager of McKinsey?
Ifyouareapplyingforasummerjobanddonotyet
have any experience that is directly related to the posi-
tion, focus on telling the employer what experience
you do have that may be of interest.
Alwaystrytowritetoaspecificindividualandinclude
the job title. Do not address your letter to Dear Sir or
Madam.
Asksomeoneelsetocheck yourgrammar,spelling,
and style. When proofreading your own writing, it is
easy to overlook silly mistakes.
