How 2 Do Things

Writing a resume is critical for landing a job in your job search. Follow the steps below to write a quality resume.

At the top, have your name centered in large font. Also place your contact information underneath.

Create a section entitled “Education” and list college or graduate degree education, including your GPA, activities and highlights. If you do not have such degrees, list your highest attained education.

Create a section entitled “Employment” and list your prior employment experience. List your job titles and summarize your job duties. You may even list some of your achievements with your former employers.

If you have special skills, you may wish to create a section like this on your resume. Or, if you may want to list some of your personal information, such as your hobbies or other unique items.

Make sure that there are absolutely no typos on the resume.
