Tips for a Good Resume Format

1. Make sure the resume begins with your personal information

    * Name
    * Address
    * Phone Number
    * Email

2. Write an objective statement - one line summarizing the specific job you are looking for and why you would be a good fit for that position.

3. Education - make sure to list all of the educational institutions you've attended and your GPA. Also make sure to list any awards you have received.

4. Work Experience - list any work experience you have, even if you think it was minor or unrelated. List the company name, dates you worked there, and a brief description of the skills you used and highlight anything you acclomplished.

5. List any special skills that you have! Are you great in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint? Do you have a talent for art and applying for a graphic arts job? Let them know that!

6. References. Either include this at the bottom of your resume or on a seperate page. List the names, addresses, phone number, and if appropriate, email address, of two or three people who will give you a good reference. Don't forget to ask them if they'll be a reference first!
