If any other use is desired, permission Mary M. Somers (msomers2@son.jhmi.edu) is required. Table of Contents Introduction 3 What is a Resume? 3 Targeted, Reverse Chronological Resumes 4 What’s

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research papers, unpublished manuscripts, or book chapters), and academic honors and awards.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...

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...

How to Write a Great Resume

How to Write a Great Resume! Greg Iaccarino Kari Nysather L&S / Human Ecology & Graduate Business School Career Services Advisor Career Services Advisor What do I need a resume for? ¡ To get your target employer’s attention…in 30 seconds or less! ¡ To communicate your credentials ¡ To demonstrate your achievements ¡ To create a first impression of your professional image Getting Started : Know thyself and thy job ¡ The biggest initial obstacle to writing a resume is

describing your experience in terms of skills and abilities and not just as the duties you performed or your job responsibilities. ¡ Sometimes it’s necessary to convey job functions, but employers are really looking for you to identify what you learned from those duties and how they’re going to transfer to the new job (since no two positions have identical, static responsibilities). Getting Started : Know thyself and thy job ¡ Once you’ve identified your skills, then you can begin looking for the job(s) that would be the perfect fit for you. If you’re having trouble narrowing your job search, rank the skills or talents you’ve learned in your education, work, internship, volunteer or extracurricular involvement in the order in which you’d most like to use them in your future career. Resume Styles ¡ Which style will best represent your skills and experiences to a potential employer? l Reverse Chronological l Functional l Combination Reverse Chronological format… if you’re staying on the same career path ¡ The REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL RESUME is the traditional structure for most resumes. ¡ This format focuses on the Experience section and highlights in detail the last several jobs you’ve had as if they were rungs...
