5. HOW TO BUILD
EFFECTIVE RESUME

6. MAKE IT SIMPLE
There is no need to use highfalutin
words Your resume should look
clean, straight to the point, and
properly arranged. You need to
create headers so the reviewers can
easily browse through the details
they need to see during your
application. Therefore, you need to
create headers so the reviewers can
easily browse through the details
they need to see during your
application. Make sure you list
down your academic background,
work experience, personal details,
achievements, and extra-curricular
affiliations separately.
ACHIEVEMENTS
When applying for a job or an
internship program, your goal is to
impress your future employer.
Employers always look for people
with the proper skills and
expertise that are useful in their
industry. You could just put any
experience or affiliation you have
on your resume. You only need to
write down the relevant ones for
the position or program you are
applying for, However, this does
not mean that you could just put
any experience or affiliation you
have on your resume. You only
need to write down the relevant
ones for the position or program
you are applying for. For example,
you can’t just say that you are the
captain of the basketball team if
you’re applying for a job as a
researcher.
SHORT & CONCISE
When creating a resume, it’s best
to keep it at just one page so it is
easy for potential employers and
recruiters to skim through your
details and experiences.Longer
resumes are however more
common in IT and programming
jobs because they are quite
complicated. It may seem hard
to fit all credentials and
experiences in just one page,
especially if you have been
working for a long time. But if
you know how to sift properly
and include only the relevant
experiences and backgrounds for
the job, then creating a one-page
resume is highly doable.

7. 04 BE HONEST 05
06
The most important thing
that every employer or
evaluator needs is honesty.
The very foundation of every
successful relationship is
trust, and if you’re not
honest with your
credentials, that could spell
a lot of trouble. Thus, when
you are jotting down details
such as “I am a team player”
or “I am an expert in so and
so,” be sure you can back it
up with actual skills and
knowledge.
HARD COPY AND
SOFT COPY
Each resume should be convenient
for employers who will be reviewing
it. When you create your resume
and choose to do it with a
computer, make sure that it can be
printed and that the layout is easy
to read. Follow proper formatting,
and avoid using small font sizes or
fonts that are too artsy. Your resume
needs to sound formal and look
formal too.While technology has
dramatically evolved throughout
the years, there are still employers
who like to print documents and file
them somewhere for safekeeping

8. SAMPLE RESUME BUILDING
(what to add in each section)

9. Resume Heading
Full Name (Jane M. Applicant or Jane Applicant)
City, State, Zip
Email Address (don’t use your work email)
Profile
Adding a profile or an objective to your resume gives the
employer a brief overview of your qualifications. This is an
optional component of a resume. If you include it, focus on
what prospective employers are seeking rather than what you
want in your next job. Hiring managers want to know what you
have to offer.
Summary of Qualifications
A summary of qualifications is another optional section of a
resume. It’s a statement that includes your skills, abilities,
experience, and what qualifies you for the position.

10. Experience
Your work history is the most important component of your
resume. Employers will want to know where you have worked,
when you worked there, and what responsibilities you held in
each role that you had. They will be looking to see how your
experience lines up with what they are looking for in prospective
employees.
List the jobs and internships you have held in reverse
chronological order, with the most recent positions first.
For each position, include: job title, company, location, dates
of employment, and a bulleted list of the strongest
accomplishments for each job.
Verb tense should be present tense for your current job if
you are employed, and past tense for prior employment.
If you’re not sure of employment dates, here’s how to recreate
your employment history. It’s important to be accurate because
employers do conduct background checks.

11. Volunteer Work
If you have volunteer experience that’s related to the jobs you’re applying for, or
if you have volunteered to avoid an employment gap, list volunteering as you
would the jobs you have held. .
Education
The education section generally comes next. You need only to list degrees
earned, with the highest first, if you have been out of school for a few years. If
you’re a student or recent graduate. If you have work experience, list it below
that section. Education should be listed in reverse chronological order, with the
most recent and advanced education first. Include the name of the school, the
degree earned, and the date you graduated. Whether you include your GPA on
your resume depends on how long ago you graduated and how high your GPA
is.
Certification,Awards and Accomplishments
mention awards and achievements you have earned.
Skills
This section includes the skills you have that are directly related to the job for
which you’re applying. Employers typically list required or preferred skills in the
job listings when itemizing the qualifications for the position. List your most
closely related abilities here, using a bulleted list format.
