[AMB1]Use the following link to locate tutorials for additional info:

-To delete the comments, right click over each comment and select “Delete Comment”

[AMB2]Note the correct wording of your major.

-General rules of what can/should go in this section are located in the Education and Relevant Experience tutorials/PDFs:

[AMB3]If you are on the Deans’ List or President’s List for more than 3 semesters, you would write out “three semesters”.

If you were on for 1 to 2 semesters, you can write the semester followed by the year

Example: Deans’ List: Fall 2015, Winter 2014

[AMB4]List course titles, not course numbers. List only those courses that are relevant to the job for which you are applying. Avoid 100 level courses, unless those are directly relevant to the position. List 4-8 courses!

[AMB5]Employers love to hire college athlete because they know they are committed and responsible, you want that experience to really stand out 

[AMB6]HAVE 2-4 BULLET STATEMENTS

Bullets show the employer what skills you have learned and highlight your contributions to previous companies.

-Include 3 parts when composing bullets.

ACTION WORD / TASK / OUTCOME-RESULT

Listing only the task fails to show off your valuable skills and experience. Be measurable!

Go to the following link and Review

"SAMPLE BULLETS FOR COMMON JOBS".

Examples:

  • Created ______that led to ______over a _____ period of time
  • Oversaw the development of ______that resulted in ______
  • Managed a team of ____ co-workers that ______
  • Processedover $___ worth of transactions over a ___ hour shift with a 100% accuracy rate

Every time you start off a bullet, you will need an action word or Power word. Follow this link to get the SVSU Career Guide and look at page 12 for list of Power words you can use for a variety of experiences.

[AMB7]Feel free to personalize your section headings based on your experience. Examples of some additional sections:

-INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC EXPERIENCE

-CAMPUS LEADERSHIP INVOLVEMENTS

-VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES (as a standalone section if you have several entries)

-COMMUNITY OUTREACH

& more (there is no specific formula for what you must name your resume sections)

[AMB8]Your extracurricular involvement can enhance your resume, especially if you have significant accomplishments to add

[AMB9]If your resume goes onto a second page, be sure to note it at the top. Most positions require you to submit 3 references and this is how you can add them. Generally, 3-5 professional references, be sure to include the employer title and if phone numbers are Cell, Home or Work.

Note that you want to give as much contact info for your references as possible. You should also ask permission to use them as a reference and keep your references updated in your job search.
