Resume
Use this page to provide your experience and education information.
Regardless of your education level, it is important to show the sort of education you have received.
  • List each degree in reverse chronology (i.e., most current first).
  • State the school and location where each degree was received.
While you can include graduation dates, it is not essential to do so. Consider that graduation dates can indicate how old you are and how current your knowledge is. There is no need to list your minors, thesis/dissertation titles, internships, or specific coursework unless they are directly relevant to your job objective. Particularly if you consider your academic education to be deficient, be sure to include any relevant professional training you've received, such as workshops and seminars.

Experience

This page chronologically details your professional and work experience. It provides potential employers with an understanding of what roles you held in the past.

List each job and position you've held in reverse chronology (i.e., most current first). Generally, there is little need to go back further than 10 years of experience. However, if positions you held before this point are particularly relevant to the position for which you are applying, it may benefit you to include them.

Title or Position held
Company Name, City, State
  • List the company, location, and the start and end dates of your employ. While you should always list the year, the month is optional.
  • If you've held more than one position with the same company, list each position as a separate item under the company name, including the dates during which you held that role.
  • Using a bulleted list, detail what you did in the noted position. However, instead of your responsibilities, focus on your achievements. Just because you were responsible for a task does not necessarily mean you were successful.
  • State your accomplishments to show your strengths and that you have the skills to succeed at the job for which you are applying.
