A resume introduces you to an employer. It should:
- State the job you want and include your name, address and telephone number. The resume lists your job or school experience, your education, skills and relevant personal information, such as job-related hobbies.
- Be typed or printed on quality paper. And it must be absolutely perfect. It must be no longer than two pages.
- List those qualifications and experiences that are relevant to the job for which you are applying. If you are applying for a first job, include responsibilities at school or in clubs.
- Be specific about your background without getting too detailed. Be positive.
- Be simple and easy to read. Check with your library or guidance counselor for good formats.
