Resume

Creating a resume is an on-going process. Set aside plenty of time to write it, and recognize that it will continue to evolve as you gain experience and your employment goals changes.

Creating a “master” resume that includes all of your experience can help you to remember all of the positions you have held as well as what you were responsible for at those jobs. A “master” resume may be several pages in length. As you apply for different positions tailor your resume using the relevant experiences off your master resume.

Types of Resume
1. Chronological Resume
We strongly recommend formatting a chronological resume because it is the most widely used and the easiest to prepare. It also provides the employer more contextual information about your skills and talents.
2. Functional Resume
A functional resume is most appropriate for people who have an abundance of experiences, or who have experience in many different settings and are trying to focus on skill sets relevant to a particular job.
