What is a résumé?
A résumé (also spelled resume) is a brief document that summarizes your education, employment history, and experiences that are relevant to your qualifications for a particular job for which you are applying. The purpo of a résumé (along with your cover letter) is to get an interview. Rearch has shown that it takes an average of ten (10) interviews to receive one (1) job offer, so your résumé needs to be persuasive and perfect. Given this, your résumé must be ur-centered and persuasive.
The general purpo résumé usually contains four ctions:
Contact
Education
Experience
Honors, activities, and outreach

Writing the contact ction of your résumé
This ction of your résumé is definitely the easiest to write, but you do have a few options for design and content.
What is a contact information ction?
Unlike other ctions of your résumé, this ction does not have a special heading like
"Contact Information." Instead it simply lists the information below at the top of the page: Your full name
Your e-mail address
Your permanent address
Your local or campus address (if applicable)
Your phone number(s)
Your web address/URL
Your fax number, etc.
Of cour, as with the rest of your résumé, you'll want to double-check that all the information you include is current and accurate. Mistyping your phone number could easily cost you an interview! Also, if you list an e-mail address, be sure to check your e-mail regularly or you may miss an important message.英语后置定语
If you live on campus, you should provide your campus address. But you may also want to provide your home address.
Designing your contact information ction
Employers will probably look first and last at your contact information ction, so it's well worth your time to make this ction easy-to-read and appealing to the eye. Whatever design choices you make, try to coordinate them with the rest of your résumé. Here are some specific design options:
1. U page design strategies to prent information in a usable format. For example, to
help readers find desired information, you might place your name in a larger font size, center it, boldface it, or anything to make it stand out. If you have a permanent and
local address, you might want to play with columns.

2. You may want to add a graphic element such as a horizontal line to help ction off
your contact information. Make sure the visual does not distract from your textual
information.
3. Coordinate with your cover letter. One way to make your application documents a
professional package is to match your cover letter and your résumé. You might do this by creating stationery or a letterhead for both documents. For instance, if you u two columns for your address and a double line on your résumé header, you might adapt it for the top of your cover letter as well. Make sure to u the same fonts (size also) for both documents.

Education Section
Education ctions vary tremendously on résumés—sometimes they are only a couple lines while other times they span half a page. What's the best way for you to approach yours? The resource below contains a number of options.
What is an education ction?
An education ction highlights your relevant schooling and academic training. If you have substantial work experience, this ction may be very brief, simply listing the information below. If you are a currently enrolled college student or a recent graduate, however, you may want to build this ction substantially.
The education ction usually includes information about:
Schools you have attended such as universities and 4-year colleges, junior and
community colleges, as well as professional and technical schools (rarely high schools, unless somehow relevant)
Location of schools
Date of graduation, actual or anticipated
Degree(s) earned
Grade point average (GPA) if over 3.0.
Why write an education ction?
To persuade employers your educational background will help you do your job more effectively
To provide evidence of your qualifications
To foreground your areas of experti
Where should you place this ction?
Education ctions, like experience ctions, are usually placed in the middle of a résumé, somewhere between the objective statement and the honors and activities ction.
If your educational background is your strongest qualification or may help your résumé"stand out," then you'll probably want to put it near the top. Especially if you are a recent graduate, this ction may be a major focus for recruiters. On the other hand, if your experience ctions are stronger, then you'll probably want to move your education ction below them.
How to build your education ction
原单奢侈品If you have the space on your résumé and/or if your educational background is particularly relevant, you may want to expand this ction by including some of the content listed below as it applies to your experiences and career goals.

NOTE: If you have enough information, you may wish to turn some of your content into subctions or even into parate ctions. For example, if you know veral relevant computer technologies, yo
u might want to list them under the heading "Computer Proficiency" rather than tuck them under your Education ction.
Generally, you want to include your overall GPA, and even your in-major GPA and minor GPA. But if your GPA is below 3.0, you may not want to include it.
