in a Resume? 4 Writing your Resume 6 Tips for Scannable Resumes 7 Other Suggestions 8 Action Verbs 9 Chronological Resume Worksheet 10 Additional Resources 13 INTRODUCTION A human resources assistant at the hospital for which you would like to work has begun to check her email. She’s received 100 this afternoon, all with resumes attached. Forty of the resumes are for the same nursing position for which you have applied. She’ll also have to collect those in the mail and fax machine—close to 150 in all. She is the first to review the resumes. Her job is to scan each one in a computerized database. She’ll then query the database based on specific key words identified by the nursing supervisor. Those resumes that meet the requirements will be forwarded to the human resources manager for further review. Those who submitted resumes that don’t meet the criteria will get a polite rejection letter—or hear nothing at all. In other hospitals or health care organizations that do not use a database, a staff person will visually scan each resume to see if minimum qualifications are met. On average, he’ll spend 10-20 seconds screening each one. In these organizations, your employment future...

Curriculum Vitae (CV) - Curriculum Vitae

What is a CV? The term “curriculum vitae” comes from the Latin Curriculum (course) and Vitae (life): The course of one’s life. "It is vitae (not vita) because "life" in the phrase "course of life" ... is in the genitive singular....” - Eric Daniels, CVtips.com A Curriculum Vitae (CV) resembles a resume in many ways, but is more specifically focused on academic achievements. A CV summarizes educational and academic history, and may include details about teaching experience, publications (books, articles,

research papers, unpublished manuscripts, or book chapters), and academic honors and awards. Use a CV rather than a resume for teaching or research opportunities, applying for fellowships or for further academic training. Some research positions in industry may also prefer a CV rather than a resume CV’s are frequently longer than resumes, since the emphasis is on completeness rather than brevity. While there is no single correct format or style for writing a CV, the following types of information are generally included, and typically organized in this way: • Name and Address • Education • Dissertation • Fellowships and Awards • Prepared to Teach or Areas of Research Interest or Areas of Specialization or Areas of Competence/ Expertise or Principal Research and Teaching Interests • Teaching Experience • Research Experience • Publications and Presentations • Works in Progress • Related Professional Experience • Languages • Other • References • Dissertation Abstract Additional Tips • Fields of Interest or Teaching Competencies: CVs may begin with a short section specifying Fields of Interest or Teaching Competencies (instead of a statement of Professional Objective with which resumes may begin). If you do include this optional section, make your categories as broad as possible...

Teacher Resume Help

Teacher Resume Help Writing a Teacher's Résumé A resume is an important comunication tool from you to principals. It lets them know, in a brief written form, about your qualifications and why they should pursue you as a candidate. A resume should be more than just a listing of personal data and work experiences. It should be a sales brochure which markets you as a great teacher! There is no one right way to write a resume. Each resume is

as individual as the person who writes it. There are, however, generally accepted ways of getting information acros to potential employers. Use the folowing information as a guideline to draft your teacher's resume. Then you can have your resume reviewed and receive feedback. Required Elements of a Resume Identification: Include your name, address, phone, and email addres (your email address should be professional, not cute). If you have a current and permanent address, list both. Your name should be in the biggest print on the page, three or four times bigger than the other print. Certification: List your certification and any endorsements, and the date. "Illinois Initial Elementary Certificate, expected July 2001. Endorsement expected in Middle Grade Language Arts." Education: List your colege degree(s) in reverse chronological order, including schol name, city, major(s), minor(s), and date(s) of graduation.

How To Write Clear Resume Objective Statements

How To Write Clear Resume Objective Statements Many resumes begin with a statement or sentence fragment outlining the job-seeker’s idealization of the available position. Often times, these statements fail, however, to provide real specificity about either the desired job or the applicant. An objective statement, like the duties entailed of the jobs listed in the resume itself, should be verb- driven. Further, the statement should draw a direct parallel between the applicant’s experience and training and the generalized requirements of

the job applied for. If you chose to use an objective statement, you should edit or rewrite it every time you send out your resume. Objective statements are not a required component of resumes, but have increased in popularity in recent years. Many human resources professionals claim an objective statement can be a double-edged sword. Such statements can keep you from getting an interview if the position has already been filled, but the company still needs someone in a related capacity, and your resume contains some relevant experience. The interviewer might relegate your letter and resume to the bottom of the stack if your statement clearly points to one narrow positions, or lacks any real power. Use your objective statement with discretion. Sample case You wish to apply for a networking job with a large electronics firm, where you will work with network security, and also provide some training. Poor example: Objective: Position in networking where my electrical engineering background can be used for a rewarding experience. Note the verb use is poor and non-specific; the statement provides no indication of knowledge about the position or the company; wording seems to rely on typical workplace desires. Improved example: Objective: Position...

Workforce Series #2: How to Write Your Resume

1 COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE & BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES / SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY / USDA ExEx 15003 February 2004 Youth Development / 4-H What is a Resume? A resume is an accurate description of who you are in the workforce—where you have worked, what you have done, and when you did it. It is a brief one or two page summary of your background that provides an employer with information regarding your education, work experience, achievements, skills, special knowledge, and training.

The main purpose of a resume is to make employers interested in learning more about you. Your resume is meant to get you past the initial screening so that you have an opportunity to be interviewed by someone who has the power to hire you. For some jobs, you may also have to fill out a job application form. The job applica- tion does not replace the resume. It provides the basic facts about you, but it does not show your personality, and you still need to write a resume and a cover letter. Resume Writing Tips A resume is a business document. It should look profes- sional and be neat, clear, concise, and error-free. Here are some writing tips for resumes: • Do not use the first person pronoun, “I.” Instead, use short, easy-to-read paragraphs, starting with action verbs when describing your work. Examples of action verbs are: analyzed, coordinated, designed, directed, guided, initiated, modeled, organized, presented, and supervised. Describe actual accomplishments rather than general duties. • Structure all the entries in a similar way. Consistency helps to clarify. Strive for precision. Every word counts. Resumes should contain short, crisp statements that do not have to be complete sentences....

HOW TO WRITE A RESUME THAT TRULY PORTRAYS YOUR BUSINESS STRENGTHS

HOW TO WRITE A RESUME THAT TRULY PORTRAYS YOUR BUSINESS STRENGTHS WHILE SAVING TIME AND DEODORANT DURING AN INTERVIEW By Colleen Aylward 1. How Many Pages are Appropriate for a Resume? The one-page synopsis is a thing of the past. And now that I’ve said this, all you employers please put your teeth back in, take a Valium and read on. First of all, length is really irrelevant compared to content. Put yourself in the shoes of a hiring manager

for a moment and I’ll explain why. The hiring authority must sift through dozens, or even hundreds, of paper resumes to choose a first list of candidates who MIGHT be qualified. Give him a break! And not by giving less words, but more meat. When you synopsize, you run these risks: • You assume the reader will read between the lines and come up with the correct evaluation of what it is you can do, or will do. As a recruiter, I get very frustrated with this. I can’t tell whether you are lazy, modest, or have no idea why anyone would want to hire you. • You assume the reader knows the size and structure, the product or service and the marketplace of your current employer. • You assume the reader will be impressed by your title(s) and know where you fit in the hierarchy of responsibility in your corporate structure. • You assume that using vague business platitudes will “sort of cover every possible job opening” and, therefore, not limit your chances. • You assume the reader is in the business of using his own time and imagination to try to figure out what your potential could be...

Does the idea of securing an entry-level job with good long-term career growth appeal to you? If so, act now. There is a lot that you can do to make such a position become a reality.

Career related experience can be gained in a variety of ways. These include internships (paid or unpaid), cooperative education, summer positions, voluntary experience, and part-time jobs.

Include numbers, percentages, time saved, and dollar ƒ values to describe your accomplishments. Include key words - study various job postings to ƒ determine important keywords. List the most important information and selling points ƒ first. When listing employment in chronological order, you can still list accomplishments underneath each job in order of importance. Use a resume style ( ƒ chronological, functional, or combined) appropriate for your set of qualifications and industry. #2: Be Concise Keep your resume to a single page if possible. ƒ Use 2 pages only if you have extensive work ƒ experience or an advance degree. Put your name at the top of the second page. Use short sentences - complete sentences may not be ƒ necessary.

A resume is a brief highlight of your work or activity experiences, educational background, and skills as they relate to the type of job you are seeking. A resume is designed to get you an interview, so market yourself effectively to your reader! A resume is most often used when applying for employment. It can also be used to apply for a

Give yourself time to write and rewrite. Stop by the Career Center for feedback on your resume. • A one-page resume is sufficient for most students.

How to Write a Stellar Resume

How to Write a Stellar Resume By Kristen Fischer You may think you need to shell out hundreds of dollars to a fancy resume writing service to get a resume that lands interviews. Not so. I write for a top resume writing firm, and can share some tips of the trade to help you get that resume together and get the job you want! The secret is to follow industry trends. By knowing what employers are looking for and incorporating

those practices, you can have a great resume. Go basic. Stick to no more than two fonts in the resume. It’s okay to use a template, but try to avoid text boxes and tables. A good resume uses variations of simple functions— various sizes, capped letters, bolding and italics. Even the simplest font (I recommend Arial, Verdana or Times New Roman) can be modified to stand out. Consistency is key here. For instance, if you capitalize and bold the titles of the companies you’ve worked for, make sure to do it for all of them. Know the lingo. “References available upon request” is old news. Today, you don’t even have to note that because it’s assumed you have references. Another idea is to scrap that whole “Objective: To acquire a position that enables me to use my consultative sales skills and benefit an organization” thing. Instead, write a profile that highlights your skills. Phrases like “powerful consultative sales specialist” or “bolsters net profits via innovative sales initiatives” has more jazz to it. Also, never use the words “responsibilities” or “duties.” Highlight accomplishments. It’s fine to discuss your duties but you should bullet some accomplishments, too. What did you do for...

Opportunities will be presented. A powerful resume makes an immediate positive impact on its reader. It must, since

the average recruiter will spend no more than one-minute to decide whether or not to read on or stick it in the file of lost resumes. Your resume may be one of 300 others. Most often, you do not have a second time to present yourself. Be as specific and as direct as possible about what you can do for them. If your resume is a strong, accomplishment-driven example of your experience, it can open doors and lead you to great opportunities. If your resume is poorly written or boring, it won’t bring you the desired results. When preparing your winning resume remember to include the following: Header Don’t forget your contact information. List your full name, address, phone number(s), and Email address. And above all, be absolutely sure it’s correct and up-to-date at all times. If you need to update anything, make corrections in advance of your submission. Do not hand-write corrections or updates under any circumstances! Summary or Career Objective It would be wise to stay away from objectives as they can limit your scope of opportunities. Instead, work at developing a summary of your experience.

Introducing your CV—the cover letter

Introducing your CV—the cover letter What is a cover letter? A cover letter is a letter you send with your CV to a potential employer. It is your opportunity to go beyond the CV and focus the employer’s attention on the experience and skills you possess that are directly related to the position available. A cover letter is basically a sales letter: it promotes your abilities and is written with the potential employer’s interests foremost in mind. Should you write

a cover letter to go with your CV when applying for a job? Absolutely! Your cover letter will be almost as important as your CV. It will introduce you to a potential employer and summarize your specific qualifications for a given position. It is a also a chance for the potential employer to inspect your writing skills. Can you use the same cover letter for all the CVs you send out? No. You should customize the letter as much as possible to the needs of particular employer you are contacting. Customizing requires thinking about the health care company, their patients, and the work you see yourself doing. It means imagining yourself in the position and the situations you’d be facing, and figuring out the abilities and traits that you possess that are important for success. For any position, there are two types of skills: core skills, which any serious applicant will be expected to have, and a much broader range of skills that would be useful to the employer but go beyond the basic requirements. You need to spend some time thinking about both types of skills. Having the first kind will get you considered; having the second kind will...

HOW TO WRITE A KILLER RESUME

HOW TO WRITE A KILLER RESUME Experts say that you only have 5 seconds to grab the attention of a potential employer by the look of your resume. Below are some tips on how to get the interview you want! TIP #1 – USE TITLES OF HEADINGS THAT MATCH THE JOB YOU WANT With employers receiving hundreds of resumes, you must make sure that your resume hooks an employer’s attention within a 5-second glance. A great way to do this

is to use job titles and skill headings that relate to and match the job you want. For example, compare the headings Roger used in his “before” resume to the headings he used in his “after” resume. Before Resume: • Accounting/Recordkeeping • Administrative • Computer Skills After Resume: • Management of A/R and A/P Accounts • Computerized Accounting Applications Departmental • Administration/Recordkeeping Which set of headings do you think are the strongest for an Accounts Payable/Receivable Manager position? Even though Roger’s title was Accounting Assistant, he actually managed over 1,000 A/R and A/P accounts. Using skill headings that market the true nature of Roger’s job duties will generate him more interviews and higher salary offers. TIP #2 – USE DESIGN THAT GRABS ATTENTION Employers make snap judgments when glancing at your resume. If they see unrelated job titles or skills, the likelihood is very high that they will make an immediate assumption that you are not qualified for the job you want. Adding to this problem is the fact that employers don’t have the time to read through each of your job descriptions to determine if you have the skills they need. You must do that for them!

Basics Writing A Resume Building a Job

OCS Basics Writing A Resume Building a Job Search Toolkit Taken from The Harvard Guide to Careers by Susan M. Vacca Martha P. Leape OFFICE OF CAREER SERVICES Harvard University Faculty of Arts and Sciences WRITING A RESUME What Is a Resume? Your resume is an evolving description of your experiences that docu- ments and describes your skills and expertise. Each edition is a presen- tation designed for a specific audience and a specific purpose. As an outline of your

accomplishments, your resume communicates your qualifications for employment. The purpose of a resume is to introduce yourself to prospective employers. The objective is to present your skills and expertise clearly and succinctly so that the employer will want to interview you. The resume is also a record of your name, address, telephone number, and pertinent information, which you can leave with potential employers and which you can give to members of your network. You should always have an up- to-date edition of your resume, but you should reconsider its format and content anytime you undertake a new search. The particular mix of qualifications that an employer is seeking will depend on the job to be filled. The more you know about what the employer is looking for, the better you can tailor your presentation so that it describes your most relevant skills and knowledge in language that the employer understands. Your resume should communicate your general qualifications as well as your specific skills. In preparing descriptions of your academic achievements, student activities, and employment, make certain that you document your general skills, such as your ability to • learn quickly • adapt to new environments • research, analyze, and solve...

Writing the curriculum vitae with LATEX

The PracTEX Journal, 2007, No. 4 Article revision 2008/1/3 Writing the curriculum vitæ with LATEX Lapo F. Mori and Maurizio W. Himmelmann Email mori@northwestern.edu, himmel@sssup.it Address Mechanical Engineering Department Northwestern University 2145 Sheridan Road Evanston IL 60208 USA Ufficio Statistica Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna Piazza Martiri della Libertâ ¡ 33 56127 Pisa Italy Abstract This paper presents the tools that are currently available to prepare the curriculum vitæ with LATEX with a critical analysis of packages and classes. 1 Preamble This

article deals with writing the curriculum vitæ both in general and with LATEX. The first part (par. 2 and 3) analyzes the guidelines on how to write the curriculum vitæ and can be applied to any text editor. The second part (par. 4 and 6) requires an elementary knowledge of LATEX, which can be obtained from a basic guide [7, 8, 25, 28] or from a more comprehensive book [21, 23]. After analyzing styles and structures (par. 2), the article suggests some effec- tive ways to write a curriculum vitæ (par. 3). Since LATEX will be used for com- posing the curriculum vitæ, the main sections review the available classes and packages (par. 4) and give some recommendations on how to customize them (par. 6). We would like to thank Claudio Beccari, Lance Carnes and especially Valeria Angeli and Caterina Mori for their suggestions. Copyright © 2007 Lapo F. Mori and Maurizio W. Himmelmann.

Resume Writing Guide

CREATING YOUR RESUME This discussion is designed as a workbook to help you produce the first draft of a resume. It focuses on the types of resumes most often used in business, private non-profit, and government agencies. While it does not specifically address the needs of persons seeking employment in very creative fields or higher education, most of the principles addressed here are applicable to the creative resume and to the curriculum vitae. The main purpose of preparing a resume is to produce a marketing tool to help you get an interview for a job, an internship or graduate school admission. A resume also can be useful in your networking efforts and is sometimes required to apply for membership in professional associations. Additionally, the preliminary self-evaluation that you do will help you prepare for the interview process. STEP ONE; DOING FIRST-THINGS FIRST: The first step in producing an effective resume is to assess thoroughly your professional abilities, technical skills, personal attributes, experience,...

Independent Living Skills Module II

Independent Living Skills Module II HOW TO WRITE A RESUME Many companies will require a resume in place of or in addition to a completed job application. A resume is sort of a quick reference guide to who you are and what you can do. Most resumes are not more than one page long and should be both easy-to-read and pleasing to the eye. A resume should always be typewritten. The resume usually consists of the same kind of information

you fill out on job applications, but in a more formal and concise fashion. You should also include on your resume any information you think would qualify you for the job or make you an attractive applicant. Begin your resume with a brief sentence which outlines your employment goals, and be sure to play up your positive qualities. The basic resume includes the following five major areas: Personal Information: This consists of your name, your mailing address, and a telephone number where the employers can reach you. Education: Here you list the education, training, and/or special classes you have had. Activities/Honors: This category includes activities in which you were involved when you were in school. The activities don’t have to all be school-related. They can be athletic, professional, or even social. Experience: Be sure to list all the jobs and the duties you did on these jobs. Include full-time jobs, part-time jobs, and volunteer work. References: These should be people who are familiar with you performance at school and/or in a work situation. Always ask permission before you give someone’s name as a reference. You should include names, mailing addresses, and daytime telephone numbers. You may state “References available upon...

Resume Handbook

Resume Handbook What is a resume? A resume is a one-page summary of your professional experience and skills. As a student, your resume will describe your education (major, GPA) and include your work, volunteer, and leadership experience as well as your campus activities, computer and language skills, and (optionally) your hobbies or interests. When do I need one? You will need a resume when you apply for an internship or entry-level job, attend a career fair or networking event. It

might also be helpful when a professor, Bowdoin alum, employer or networking contact engages you in a career conversation. What should I include in my first draft? Write down everything you’ve done. This might result in a resume that’s longer or shorter than one page. That’s okay! At first, you just want to record every experience - paid or unpaid, work or volunteer, on-campus or off-campus. You’ll tailor your resume later; just describe your skills and experiences to the best of your ability. Should I include information from high school? As a first-year or sophomore, employers will expect to see experience from high school listed on your resume. By the time you’re a junior or senior, it’s better not include high school experience unless it’s to your advantage (i.e. related work experience; well known or special high school; geographic connection; the type of school in which you hope to teach; outstanding high school accomplishments that relate directly to the position for which you’re applying). A few things to keep in mind while getting started: • Optimal Resume includes “Examples” which were selected by Bowdoin Career Advisors.

However, this layout also uses the most white space, making it hard for resumes with lots of content to keep to one page. Side-by-side Centered Hybrid RESUME DESIGN TIPS Leave at least ½ inch margin throughout. Avoid a text heavy document. Put Headings in CAPS/BOLD to help the identify sections of your resume. Use Bullets instead of paragraphs to outline your key points. Use Times New Roman; Arial, Helvetica or other common font styles throughout. Point size should ideally be between 10-12 and consistent throughout, with the exception of headings and your name which need to stand out. Spell check and proof your document before sending to anyone! Use phrases, not complete sentences. ( “Supervised five employees vs. “I supervised…”) Keep verb tense consistent throughout, whether you use past or present tense.

Resume Writing for Graduate Students

Page 1 of 10 Resume Writing for Graduate Students, updated 11/9/2006 RÉSUMÉ WRITING FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS What is a Résumé? A résumé is a document that provides an overview of your education, experiences, skills and other relevant information to support an application to a specific job. It should be a self-promotional document that presents you in the best possible light, with the purpose of obtaining a job or job interview. Résumés have no set format, although general guidelines apply. There

are many different opinions about the best way to write a résumé. In reality, there is no single “best” way, and the information presented here is intended to reflect the guidelines that are most widely accepted. Ultimately, the organization and content of your résumé is a personal decision and should be presented in a manner that will best highlight your skills and abilities. When constructing your resume, be aware that there are three important components to keep in mind: relevance, self-promotion, and visual appeal. Each of these elements will be discussed later in further depth. Purposes of a Résumé The main purpose of a résumé is to help you demonstrate that you have the skills and experiences necessary to be successful in the job to which you are applying. A résumé is an advertisement for yourself, and hopefully it will convince the reader that they should invite you to interview for a particular position. A résumé also forces you to focus your job search and identify your targeted employers, as well as to review and prioritize your accomplishments and communicate them to potential employers.

How to Write a Killer Resume (for Software Engineers)

How to Write a Killer Resume (for Software Engineers) by Niniane Wang, May 2005 In the past few years working as a software engineer for Google (and previously a dev lead at Microsoft), I've screened hundreds of resumes, to make the decision on whether to proceed with the interview process. Some resumes gave off a great impression, and others didn't. Increasingly, friends and relatives ask me for suggestions on improving their resumes, so I've created a a list of the

most common pitfalls I've seen, and how to avoid them: 1. Include technical details of your work: programming language, your individual contribution, metrics. Sometimes I see job descriptions that contain a single line, such as: * Worked with a team of 3 on an e-mail plugin. The screener is reading your resume with the mindset of judging 1. how challenging this work was, 2. how relevant it is to their own company, so you need to be specific. A better way to rewrite this is: * Implemented in C++ an Outlook e-mail plugin which performs automatic backups. Along with two other team members who wrote the backup storage server, shipped the product to 300,000 customers. 2. Don't dilute the impressive details with unimpressive ones. If you write too much fluff, it will drag down the overall quality of your resume. You don't need to say "The task was completed on time and met the original specifications." The reader assumes this, and writing a non-achievement as though it were an achievement weakens your resume.

HOW TO WRITE A RESUME

1 HOW TO WRITE A RESUME What Is A Resume? A resume is a personal advertisement of yourself. It is a summary of your educational background and training, your business or professional experience and qualifications, your achievements and objective. Purpose: The purpose of your resume is to get you an interview. In order to achieve this goal you must interest an employer in wanting to take action, read your resume and call you for an interview. Therefore, it should be

attractive and short and most importantly it must answer the needs of an employer. The employer needs are an employee with the skills needed to perform the job. Therefore, prior to writing a resume you must understand and identify your own special skills as they relate to the type of job you are seeking. I. Before you attempt to write your resume you must: A. Identify the type of position you would like. B. Identify the skills needed to do the job. C. Identify your skills as they relate to the job or those skills that match B. A. Identify the type of position you would like. *If you have not identified what you would like to do – you are not ready to write a resume. Do not be alarmed – you are not alone. Take the time now to do a self- assessment or make an appointment with the Career Counselor as soon as possible. B. Identify the skills needed to do the job (or kinds of jobs) you are seeking. To identify the skills needed to do the job requires simple research. Although job requirements may vary from industry to industry or company to company, the basic...

Job Search 101: Writing an Effective Resume

You will almost always need a resume to conduct an effective job search regardless of which approach is used to find employment. Before beginning to develop a resume, it is very important to fully understand the purpose of a resume which is to get an interview with the company. Your resume is a vehicle by which you create enough interest that the potential employer will want to talk to you, or in other words, to interview you. Think of your

resume as a personal advertisement designed to market your skills. Whether you are answering an ad in the paper or sending resumes to a targeted group of employers, keep in mind that most hiring managers spend 10 to 30 seconds per resume. Some even use scanners to help weed out applicants. Given these two practices, it is extremely important to pre- pare a resume that will attract favorable attention and make the person reading the resume want to talk with you in more detail about your qualifi- cations. What makes a resume effective? An effective resume must be: 1. Brief—Resumes should be not more than one page if possible. Two pages is the absolute maximum. It is very important to sell yourself quickly while addressing your prospective em- ployer’s needs. 2. Informative—Give your qualifications and an insight into your future career plans, which is known as your career objective, very succinctly. Be specific; describe skills and experience in measurable details using action verbs. Be honest about your skills and experience; highlight only those in which you are best and those that are in demand. Eliminate unnecessary details such as personal characteristics, hobbies and inter- ests. If you need the space,...

EUROAVIA YOUNG ENGINEERS CAREER GUIDE

Version: October 1 st 2006 EUROAVIA YOUNG ENGINEERS CAREER GUIDE HOW TO MAKE A RESUME EUROAVIA YOUNG ENGINEERS 2 Getting started The most important thing about a resume is that it is different than the one of the next person. Recruiters read a lot of resumes and you want them to notice yours Therefore it is of importance to include a short paragraph about yourself and who you really are. Things to include in such a section are your character

(focus on your positive character features) and perhaps some things that describe your person. This brings us to another very important point in writing resumes. People do not like to read a lot, so keep things brief and use bulleted sentences where possible (this does not apply for the earlier discussed personal paragraph). Bulleted sentences should begin with action words, like “developed” or “designed”. One thing you should realize is that a resume is not meant to get you a job, but to get you an interview. Keep this in mind to prevent yourself from adding to much information. You will have all the time during an interview to elaborate on parts of your resume. Let us go trough all the 1. Basic information. a) Name. (First name Middle name/initial Last name) b) Address. (country’s standard address formatting) c) Phone number (label as: Home/Work/Cell phone/Evening/Daytime/etc.) d) E-mail address. e) URL. Additionally you may put your photo into right upper corner of your resume. Use picture appropriate for the applied job. 2. Objective. State the purpose of your application. What is your goal? Why you’re applying for a job? Be straight to the point and summarize your objective in a few...

Radiology information systems

The Royal College of Radiologists Board of the Faculty of Clinical Radiology This guidance is only available electronically from www.rcr.ac.uk Radiology information systems © The Royal College of Radiologists, April 2008 2 Version 1.0 This guidance forms part of a series on the developments in information technology in radiology. This is a fast-moving field and developments are occurring rapidly. Consequently, this guidance will be updated regularly and readers should check regularly that they are using the most up-to-date guidance available.

© The Royal College of Radiologists, April 2008 3 Version 1.0 These guidelines aim to help the radiologist pick out the important features in a radiology information system (RIS) which should be examined prior to any RIS procurement (even if the RIS is combined with picture archiving and communication systems [PACS] as a single product). A RIS is a computer system designed to support operational workflow and business analysis within a radiology department. A RIS is also a repository of patient data and reports, and contributes to the electronic patient record. As RIS have evolved, their application has widened to include other departments and imaging specialties such as nuclear medicine, radiotherapy, endoscopy and so on. Where a RIS supports these additional specialties, it may be more accurately described as an imaging information system (IIS). 1. Functional requirements 1.1 A RIS supports a wide range of functional requirements which overlap with functionality provided by other hospital information systems and PACS (for example, appointment scheduling, work lists and digital dictation). In an integrated solution, it is acceptable for other systems to provide this functionality providing the overall operational workflow and business analysis requirements are satisfied by the integrated solution. 2. User access...

Resume vs CV Handout

Curriculum Vitae (CV) 414.288.7423 „ career.services@marquette.edu „ www.marquette.edu/csc „ Holthusen Hall, 1st floor G raduate students earning master's degrees go about the job search in a very similar manner to a stu- dent graduating with a bachelor's degree. The candidate must prepare a professional resume and cover letter, practice interviewing skills and do a thorough job search. For master candidates going into areas other than teaching, health care or social work, a one or two page resume works best. Graduate

candidates may want to prepare a resume with a “profile” section instead of an “Objective” depending on their background and present career path. Depending on the amount of experience a graduate candidate has, he or she may still want to prepare a one-page re- sume as many recruiters in the business world prefer one page. However, two pages is quite accept- able as long as there is ample information to fill most of two pages and none of the information is re- dundant. For master or PhD candidates going into teaching, health care or social work and possibly other areas such as research, a CV (curriculum vita) should be prepared instead of a resume. A CV is a longer ver- sion of a resume that includes much more information such as teaching competencies, publications, seminars or workshops presented at, conferences attended, pro bono activities, etc. How to Write a Curriculum Vitae: Curriculum Vitae are Still Resumes Despite their venerable name, curriculum vitae are simply a specific sort of resume, the style preferred by candidates for medical, academic, teaching, and research positions. Most of these candidates have an educational background directly related to the positions they seek, so education is always...
