experience, skills, personal attributes

and other background information.

• Your rst impression to an employer.

• Remember: the resume does not get you

the job—it gets you the interview.

TYPES OF RESUMES

Master Resume

Always keep one master resume that is a record of all past and current experiences and accomplishments.

This master resume should never be used for any ocial position, but kept more as a record for yourself.

The key to developing an outstanding resume is to tailor it to suit the specic position or opportunity for which you are applying.

Leave out experiences that are unrelated.

Joseph Meyerho Center for Career Development / 1300 W Mount Royal Ave / Baltimore, MD 21217 / 410 225 2420 / 410 225 2528 / car[email protected]

HOW TO BUILD YOUR RESUME

Style

Create a hierarchy and structure with your layout.

• Aim to have most relevant info at the top half of the page.

• Potential employers will likely spend an average of 10 seconds on

your resume, so list relevant skills and experiences clearly!

• Use bold typefaces to distinguish headings and place the most

critical at the top.

• Use font size, capitals, bold, italics and bullets to categorize.

Choose a style and format for listing employers, titles, dates and

locations and stay consistent throughout the document.

This helps the employer locate information quickly and simply.

When printing your resume, be sure to use a high

quality laser printer.

Organization

Be specic with your information and include numbers

and dates whenever possible.

Once your resume is perfected, save a copy as an Adobe

PDF le to capture all fonts and retain formatting.

When submitting a resume electronically or posting it on your website,

always use the PDF version unless instructed otherwise always follow

the employer’s application instructions.

Content

Consider your audience when formatting your content and layout.

List your skills section near the top of the resume.

Use action verbs to describe your experiences.

Avoid using the same verb twice. See the helpful list of action

verbs later in this document as a good place to start.

Organize your responsibilities under each position

in order of importance.

Use past tense for jobs which you are no longer working (Created).

Use present tense for current positions (Create).

Be concise when describing your experiences.

Use bullets or short paragraphs that are descriptive

and relevant to the position.

Grammar and spelling

Proofread and edit your materials several

times to eliminate all errors.

Use spell check or apps like Grammarly, especially when

using InDesign (Edit > Spelling > Check Spelling).

Have someone proofread your resume for you.

They may catch mistakes you missed!

The Career Center sta can give you advice and

tips to improve your materials.

COMMON MISTAKES

Writing your resume as a narrative.

Do not use rst person pronouns (“I” or

“me”) when listing your responsibilities (See

examples in resume sample in this packet).

Using a generic resume for all

of your applications.

Instead tailor your resume to your audience

and be sure your skills line up with the position

to which you are applying.

Listing your references.

Do not include names and contact information

of your references on your resume. You only

need to include references if requested by the

employer or organization. You do NOT need

to use the phrase “references available upon

request.”

Not tailoring to audience.

Do not list skills or copious details that are not

relevant to your audience. A resume is not your

full history but a marketing piece for the parts

that are relevant.

Not doing a photocopy test.

Make a black and white photocopy to ensure it

is readable after copying.

Including too many pages in your resume.

Resumes should be 1 – 2 pages in length,

depending on the stage of your career. We

recommend one page for students. Always

completely ll the page — no half pages. If you

cannot ll two full pages, edit and condense

the information to t on one.

Listing experience in chronological order.

Always list experiences with your most recent

experience rst, in reverse chronological order

(2023, 2022, 2021…).

Including your high school experience.

Only include high school experience if it is

specically relevant to your audience.

Spelling and formatting errors.

All it takes is one mistake to deter an employer

from calling you. Always spell check and

proofread to catch errors.

Long-winded descriptions.

Break up descriptions into bullets

or short paragraphs.

Not listing degree.

Always include the degree in addition to

your major or program. Ex. BFA Candidate

in Illustration, expected 2020.

Missing information.

Make sure to be consistent throughout your

resume. Each item should include the same

details including titles, locations, organization

names, and dates.
