Tips in Writing a Resume

• A resume may be organized in many ways. A job applicant must choose a format that best highlights his skills, training, and experience related to the position applying for.
• A resume must be very easy to read to provide employers at a glance the applicant’s name, location, skills, and qualifications.
• It must be concise and error free. It should also contain honest and positive information that’s related to the job goal.

Information to Include in a Resume

1. Contact Information. It should contain the following information:
   • Full Name
   • Address (street address, apartment number, city, state, zip code)
   • Telephone and/or mobile number
   • E-mail address
2. Job Objective or Employment Goal. Tell the employer the specific job that you are applying for. Use precise, descriptive words, such as ‘entry-level clerical position,’ ‘marketing position in the advertising industry,’ or ‘managerial position that uses my five years of sales experience.’ Avoid vague statements.
