PREPARE
Start your career search early using CCE’s resources to prepare tailored resumes and cover letters, and to best reflect yourself in interviews and in your online presence. This will enable you to take full advantage of networking opportunities, career fairs, and job openings.
Resume Overview
What is a Resume? A resume is a summary of your experience, education, and skills. Its main purpose is to convince a potential employer to interview you and consider you for a position. Resumes are used to screen applicants for interviews and determine which candidates have the background that most closely matches with the employer's requirements. Your resume must be an honest reflection of your accomplish-ments and it is unethical to exaggerate, embellish, or mislead potential employers in your resume.
How Do I Begin? Before you start writing, you need to think about your experiences and accomplishments, both past and present. Consider work experi-ence, internships, summer jobs, volunteer work, extracurricular activities, research work, course projects, and publications to identify what you have to offer employers. Assess what you have accomplished in each position and which skills you have developed. Tailor your resume by prioritizing this information so that it highlights the skills, accomplishments, and experiences most relevant to the industry and position. You may have more than one version of your resume if you are applying for different types of positions. Employers some-times use electronic scanning systems to review resumes. To ensure that your resume is not eliminated by this software, avoid using graphics and use relevant terms for your industry and from the job description.
What Should My Resume Look Like? A one-page resume is preferable for most fields. Two-page resumes are typically appropriate only for those with extensive work experience.
Format: Design the resume so that it is clearly organized and easy to scan. Use bold, underlining, and italics to draw attention, but use them sparingly and consistently so that the resume doesn’t appear cluttered. You may vary the font size to provide further emphasis on your resume, but be sure to keep the font style consistent. Examples of different styles can be found on pages 24–31.
Print or Electronic?:Inmostcases,you’llbesubmittingyourresumeelectronically—eitherbyemailorthroughaweb-basedapplication form. Ensure that the resume you’ve composed looks the same once it reaches its destination. If you’re emailing your resume, send it as a .pdf document (unless another format is requested). If you’re uploading your resume to a database, double check its formatting before finalizing your application. Also, develop a plain text version of your resume for situations in which you are asked to cut and paste it directly into an online form or into the body of an email. This is particularly important if the application instructions state not to include resume attachments.
Layout: A resume can be structured in either of two general formats:
• Chronological resumes list experiences in reverse chronological order, from most recent going backward in time. This is the most common resume format and is appropriate for individuals whose education and experience match their career objectives. • Hybrid resumes split the experience section into specific functional categories based on experience (see the Arts Administration sample on page 30 and the Career Changer sample on page 31).

What Should My Resume Include?
All resumes will include the following:
• Contact Information: This should include your name, street address, email address, and phone number. In this section, you can also include any relevant URLs (from LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.) or a link to your electronic portfolio. • Education: Include school, location, degree, date of graduation or expected date of graduation, major, minor, and GPA (if over 3.0). If you are a first-year undergraduate or sophomore, you can list your high school, but it should be removed once you are a junior (unless it is a prestigious and well-known school in the area where you seek employment). Also include previous undergraduate institutions, community colleges, dual-degree programs, and study abroad. • Experience: Include paid and unpaid work, internships, volunteer jobs, and military service relevant to the job to which you’re applying. List organizations, locations, dates, your title, and a brief description of your accomplish- ments. Start descriptions with action-oriented verbs that emphasize your skills, and use short, concrete, and results- oriented phrases to describe your work. Within this section all experiences should be listed in reverse chronological order, with the most recent positions listed first. However, you can divide your experience into multiple sections, such as Research Experience, Marketing Experience, Administrative Experience, Teaching Experience, or any other similar heading in order to place your most important position first. • Additional Skills: Include computer skills, foreign languages, technical skills, lab skills, and research skills as appropriate. • Accuracy: Make sure all information that you include in your resume is accurate. Your resume must be an honest reflection of your skills, experience, academic accomplishments, etc. Do not exaggerate or embellish this information in any way.
The following sections are optional:
• Profile or Summary: A profile summarizes a person’s qualifications that are relevant to the position. This written snapshot of your education, skills, and related experience is appropriate if you are making a transition into a different industry where skills are transferable, or if you have several years of experience and want to summarize your key qualifications at the top of the page. • Honors: List honors or scholarships you have received (limit to a few of the most recent or prestigious). This can also be included in “Education,” rather than listed in a separate section. • Leadership: Employers often look for evidence of leadership. List any involvement you have had that demonstrates leadership qualities. Examples of what you might include from your Columbia experience in a “Leadership” or “Activities” section include: involvement with Community Impact, member of Economics Society, and treasurer of Graduate Student Advisory Council (you can also fit these in the “Experience” category if you worked extensively with the organization and can describe your role in depth). • Relevant Coursework: List three to six completed courses that are directly related to the job you are seeking. This is helpful for positions not directly related to your field of study or if you’ve taken non-major courses that are more relevant to the job. This is also important in science and technological fields to demonstrate one’s knowledge. This information can also be included in “Education.” • Activities: Include clubs, athletics, and community organizations, and list any leadership positions held. If you have the space, you might describe your responsibilities using active verbs. • Interests: Include this section if you have unique or impressive interests and be specific. Categories such as “reading” and “travel” are too general and common. • Volunteer Work: Include volunteer opportunities and roles you have had in your community or for your favorite cause. Volunteer opportunities are a great way to share a distinctive skill set or interest. • Additional Sections: When appropriate, include sections for Projects, Accreditations or Licensures, Professional Affiliations, and Publications. • Personal Website: Include a link to your website if it is professional and includes pertinent information that an employer would find helpful in evaluating you as a candidate.

Resumes That Stand Out: Writing Statements With ImpactBecause your resume is usually the first impression you make on prospective employers, you want it to stand out among the many other resumes received. Aim for a clean and easy-to-read format and a structure that highlights your relevant skills, education, and ex-perience. Develop statements that demonstrate skills and qualities that relate to a particular job description. Be specific about what you did in that experience, providing contextual details that inform the reader about the purpose of your work, the scope of the project, and what you produced or accomplished. Quantify your work and achievements when possible. See the examples below and the activ-ity on the next page to create impactful action and accomplishment statements that will help your resume stand out.
Example:Below is an example of a generic resume description of a particular activity/job and how it can be broken down into more specific descriptions for the same experience.
A. Generic Description:
Public Health SocietyEvent Coordinator • Responsiblefororganizingeventsandpanels
In this example, it is not clear exactly what this candidate did to organize events and panels, what skills were used, and what kind of events and panels were organized. Therefore, the writer of this statement misses the chance to show the employer that he/she used many skills when carrying out this task.
B. Concrete Description:
Public Health SocietyEvent Coordinator • Planandcoordinatepanelsonpublichealthforaudiencesof25-50undergraduatesonabi-monthlybasis • Identifyandcontacthealthprofessionalsinthecommunitytoparticipateinpanels • Createmarketingmaterialsandpublicizeeventsthroughsocialmedia
2013–2014 Center for Career Education Career Planning Guide

In this second example, the first bullet point clearly highlights organizational skills and lets the employer know the scope, target audience, and frequency of the events, which indicates the full extent of the candidate’s abilities and experience.
The second bullet point indicates research and interpersonal skills, which were used to secure panelists. It also demonstrates that the candidate has developed the ability to communicate with individuals who are professionals.
The third bullet point highlights a specific business skill and/or the ability to be strategic in marketing, as well as familiarity with using social media for marketing purposes.
C. Adding Accomplishments and Impact:
Section B above includes three strong action statements, each starting with an active verb that conveys transferable skills and provides specific details about the task. For example, with the bullet point “Create marketing materials and publicize events through social me-dia,” the reader now understands that this individual possesses the ability to create materials and publicize events. Employers want to learn about the skills an individual has, but they also want to understand the impact he/she had on a project, organization, or company. They may wonder what resulted from creating these marketing materials and publicizing the events. Perhaps the materials and publiciz-ing efforts were not successful and did not have any effect? Or did these actions result in reaching a record number of students?
Keeping this in mind, it is important to review each statement you have created for your resume and ask yourself if you can go one step further by adding an accomplishment or achievement. What was the impact? What happened as a result of that action? How did it benefit the organization? You may not be able to add a result to every bullet point on your resume, but you will want to look for op-portunities to demonstrate achievements wherever possible.
The third bullet point on the previous page, “Create marketing materials and publicize events through social media,” can be trans-formed into an effective accomplishment statement by simply adding the result or impact:
• Createmarketingmaterialsandpublicizeeventsthroughsocialmedia,increasingattendanceatseveralclub programs by 75% (if you have an accurate figure) • Createmarketingmaterialsandpublicizeeventsthroughsocialmedia,resultinginincreasedattendanceatseveral club programs throughout the year (if you are unable to quantify)
Note that these statements are also the result of combining the Action and Result sections of the STAR method on the next page.
Creating Strong Resume Statements
Activity: First, read through the job description of a position you are interested in and identify all the skills and qualities they seek (usually in the responsibilities and qualifications sections). Then use the STAR method to create impactful bullet points that incorpo-rate the skills and qualities you identified in the first step for each experience on your resume. (Note that you can also use this method to prepare for an interview, as detailed on pages 51 and 52).

Situation: The trainees were learning too slowly and could not navigate the company’s data tracking system by the end of the two-week training period. Instead, they were not ready for another two weeks.
Task: Considered what could help trainees learn the system faster and in a shorter amount of time.
Action: Initiated, wrote, and edited the first training manual for the company’s data tracking system. Trainees worked through the manual during the two-week training period.
Result: At the end of the training period, trainees were ready to use the data tracking system two weeks earlier than expected; the train-ing manual was adopted across company and is still in use.
FINAL STATEMENT FOR RESUME: Initiated, wrote, and edited the first training manual for company’s data tracking system; manual cut training period in half, was adopted across the company, and is still in use today. (Notice that the final statement is created by starting with the action section above and incorporating the results section when appropriate.)

Creating a Summary/Profile Statement A career summary or profile may be helpful to include on your resume, particularly if you have an eclectic background, have several years of experience, or are in the process of changing careers (note that a summary is not necessary if you are a recent graduate with a background that directly matches your target industry). This brief statement at the top of your resume is essentially a summary or snapshot of your skills, professional experience, accomplishments, knowledge, and education that is relevant to a particular job. Includ-ing a summary gives you a chance to show employers exactly how your background fits with the position for which you are applying.
There are a few general guidelines to follow when creating a summary statement for your resume. First, a summary should be short, approximately two to five phrases, and can be written in paragraph or bulleted form. The title of your summary statement can be one of many headlines, including: Summary of Qualifications, Career Profile, Career Highlights, Professional Summary, or just Summary or Profile. Also see our online tipsheet on writing resumes for experienced candidates.
In general, the summary statement highlights:
• Theprofessionalrolethatyouclaim(notjobtitle) • Thespecificskillsyoupossessrelatedtothatrole • Yourexperience,knowledge,andeducation(again,relatedtotherole)
Activity:
To help determine which professional aspects to highlight in your summary, be sure to review the requirements listed for the positions in which you are interested, just as you would when writing a cover letter, crafting your resume, and preparing for a job interview. Then select the skills, experience, accomplishments, knowledge, and education that you would like to showcase in your statement and write them below. It may be helpful to review your STAR statements or other skills and strengths exercises that you have completed. Remember that it is best to keep your profile concise; thus you may need to prioritize the points that appear to be most important to each employer.
Skills/Experience/Accomplishments/Knowledge/Education to Include in Summary Statement:
Next, draft a few phrases that incorporate and summarize the items you listed above, perhaps starting with some of the following phrases:
1.
2.
3.
1. ____
2. ____

Now write a sentence describing your “professional role,” which will be the opening line in your profile. Some examples are: • Successfulcommunicationsprofessionalwithexperiencein…(substitutecommunicationswithyourownfield) • AccomplishedMarketingExecutive… • ExperiencedprofessionalcompletingaMasterofArtsdegreein…
Professional Role:
Finally, put all the sentences together and edit for a clean, concise, and compelling summary/profile statement. See Career Changer resume on page 31 for an additional example.
Examples:
Career ProfileSuccessful professional with corporate marketing and training experience seeking position in nonprofit organization leveraging fundraising and program development skills. Strengths include leadership, marketing, project management, and public speaking. Recognized for ability to develop strong relationships and plan strategically.
ProfileHighly skilled and results-oriented professional with solid academic preparation holding a Juris Doctor degree and extensive experi-ence in intelligence operations and special operations seeks position in risk management.

Working With Employment GapsMany people have periods of time during their careers when they are not working due to a variety of reasons, including losing a job, completing a degree, taking care of children or elderly parents, tending to health issues, or simply taking a break. Unfortunately, employers can interpret employment gaps on a resume as a cause for concern, unless the candidate strategically addresses them on the job application. Here are a few ways to positively manage gaps on your application materials:
1. Drop the months from your employment dates on your resume and just use years: Example: 2010–2012 instead of May 2010 to February 2012
2. Consider a summary statement (see pages 19 and 20) on your resume to help the employer focus on your skills instead of time away from the workplace
3. Group your work experience on your resume into categories, such as “Marketing Experience” and “Training Experience,” which will help downplay gaps (see resume sample page 31, Amy M. Robins)
4. Include any other professional-related experience you may have gained during your time out of the workforce, such as volunteer work, projects (even if independent projects), professional development courses, certifications, or involvement in professional associations
5. Address your time out of the workforce in your cover letter by stating something like the following:
…Following this work experience, I devoted myself to volunteer work outside of the legal profession. These volunteer experiences have given me an opportunity to take on a high level of responsibility in leadership positions, helping me to hone critical skills, including management, leadership, and teamwork. This work has been rewarding, but I am excited and ready to move my focus back to my professional career in the private sector.
