Help With Resume

Sandra Said:

Do I have a chance as a teller? Plus some Resume help?

We Answered:

Definitely. You are qualified for the position based on the credentials you presented.

Yes, you may copy however, make sure that you are able to paraphrase it half of the impression you get is from the way application letter was made.

How do I write a resume to apply for college?

We Answered:

A resume should for a high school student should include an Education section, where you list the name of your high school, its location, your years of attendance, your expected date of graduation, and your GPA (if above a 3.0). (Do not include your middle school or elementary school.)

It should have an Activities section, where you include the names of all clubs, sports, honor societies, etc. in which you participate, along with your years of participation, and any leadership roles you may have held (ex. Co-President, Secretary). These should be in reverse chronological order so that the ones you're in currently are listed before the ones you may have only been a member of as a freshman.

You could also have a Volunteer or Community Involvement section if you've had significant experience with that. (If not, you can include volunteer work under your activities section and list where you volunteered and the number of hours you worked.)

You should also have an Awards and Accomplishments section where you might list any awards given at the school, county, state, national, or international level. These can be academic or extracurricular (whether you won your school's award in Honors French, or placed in a state dance competition).

Finally, you should include a Skills section. This is where you should list any foreign languages you speak and your level of proficiency, as well as any computer programs you know how to use (Word, Power Point, etc.) and your level of proficiency, or any other work skills that are relevant.

I would recommend using bullet points and organizing it into several headings. It should be one side of one page in length, with a standard font and no crazy colors. Also, make sure to include your name at the top, and then beneath that, a line with your telephone number, address, and e-mail.

Hope that helps!

Oscar Said:

What is the proper format for including references in a resume?

We Answered:

In my general experience I print a separate page with references on it and attach it separately when mailing it in or bring it to the interview. It keeps your resume shorter. Make sure you match the font and paper stock if you do this.

My whole work history is 8 pages long I think if you count summer and temp jobs, 2 pages if I do the "Relevant Experience" approach, 1 page if I do a "Jobs in the past 5 years" approach - so adding references to the direct body of the resume takes away from your chance to showcase yourself.

The only exception I think would apply if if you have an insanely INCREDIBLE reference like Jimmy Carter or President Bush or George Lucas and maybe you'd want that on your resume, but if you were applying for any job that related to them you'd probably have a portfolio or a project to show off as well as your connections.

Many jobs I've applied for want your resume and also a regular application filled out as well, so having a reference sheet comes in handy.

Re: government jobs - I have interviewed for several state and federal jobs in the past and was called in for interviews from submitting a resume on their websites - you can tell they were really looking at skills and work history since there's no place for fancy paper stock or fancy fonts on a web submission. Government jobs ALWAYS had me fill out a regular application at some point even if they had my resume.

"References provided upon request" is just lame wording on a resume IMHO, who wouldn't want your references if they were interested in you?

Good luck!

Edith Said:

What should you include in a resume packet for a teaching job?

We Answered:

I would send just the resume and the cover letter--and don't have on there "references on request." They know you'll give them to them if they ask. Mention that you have whatever teaching credentials you have and what you are working toward if you are doing that--say, you have Level 1 certification but are currently going for your Master's and Level 2 certification, which you expect to have by whenever, if that's the case. More than likely, if they are interested and it is a public school system, you will be asked to come in for any tests they give and to fill out an application at which time you will be asked to supply transcripts, references and the like. If you get an interview, and many districts have several interviews before they actually hire you, you can take your transcripts and so forth with you as well. If you have a portfolio of things you did in school and during your student teaching as well as any kind of correspondence with parents and students sayings how great you are as a teacher, include that.

I'm a stay-at-home mom right now but I'll be sending out resumes and cover letters soon since my son will be in first grade next year. Good luck in your search.

Resume............?

We Answered:

Sure you should place this in your cv because it is part of your work experience. It may even be useful to whatever post you are going to apply for. It's just the way you word it...
