Topic:  Resume Writing

    Since this is a skill that was pushed on me and one that I think is very practical as we all are going to college to get our dream jobs or just to get a degree to buff up a resume I wanted to give tips on how to make a resume. 

    First off, what is a resume? (I am sure you know...). A resume is a document that is created and used by a person to present their background, skills, and accomplishments to obtain a job. 

How do you write a resume?

1. Pick a format

• Do not write anything, just figure out how you want it to look overall. 

2. Start with basic information

• Your name (first, last, maybe middle inital),
• Phone number (whatever is the best way to reach you, preferably your cell phone.)
• Your personal email address (it should be something professional, not something you made when you were 12 and wanted to be funny).
• Address 
• Anything else relevant to the job: personal URL, social medias, etc.

3. Your work experience + any other experiences you have

• Your past employment or volunteer activities
• Any experience relevant to the job would be helpful!

4.Your education

• College experience/high school experience. What type of degree you have earned (if any).

5. Skills and Interests

• They want to see what you like to do and what you can do. This part is not necessary though. 

TIP: Most employers do not want to read your resume if it is over 2 pages, most prefer you to keep it all to one page/
