Writing your resume




What is a resume?


A resume is a one or two page summary of your education, skills, accomplishments, and experience.
Your resume's purpose is to get your foot in the door. A resume does its job successfully if it does not exclude you from consideration.

To prepare a successful resume, you need to know how to review, summarize, and present your experiences and achievements on one or two pages.
Outline your achievements briefly and concisely.

Your resume is your ticket to an interview where you can sell yourself!
