- Summary:
-
This guide to writing effective resumes and cover letters to employers first emphasizes the value of writing skills in job hunting, and explains what a resume is and why it is important. Next, steps to undertake in preparing to write a resume are reviewed including developing a personal inventory sheet to help determine facts to include in the resume. Next, the guide indicates the information that should be included in a resume, i.e., a heading, personal data, employment objective, education and work experience, miscellaneous or part-time work details, reasons for leaving previous jobs, military service, and references. Advice is then offered on the appropriate length and appearance of a resume, and different types of resumes are discussed, including chronological and functional resumes, and those for beginners and recent graduates. A number of suggestions are then provided to make the resume more effective, and items that should not be included are specified. Finally, phrases and terms for describing abilities and a resume checklist are presented. A variety of sample resumes and letters of inquiry and application are appended. (HB)
