Today you will complete Step 8 and Step 9 of the resume booklet. This will take us to the end and we will be ready to actually type our resumes next week. If you have not completed some of the earlier steps you need to complete them as well.
Step 8 is summarizing your key points. These are just one sentence summaries of things you have done that might pertain to your job objective (the job you want).
Examples:
Proficient with Google Docs and other Microsoft software applications.
Completed Speech Communications class with a 95 avg.
Achieved high evaluations as a part time worker at Joe Blows Garage.
Bilingual speaker and can communicate effectively in Spanish and English.
Can provide exceptions references as to reliability and work ethic.
Step 9 is to Assemble your Resume. Here you are just going to start filling in from what you have already done. I think you will see that you will need to edit some of your answers, especially your step 5 one liners to include those actions verbs and maybe shorten some of them up.
Next week I will give you some sample resumes and we will look at some templates online of both chronological and functional resumes and probably make one of each.
