Resume should start with personal information centered at the
top.
Employment history works best when listed in reverse
chronological order (most recent job listed first).
We recommend using a bullet point format for Responsibilities
and Accomplishments and beginning each bullet with an action verb
(i.e. coordinating, processing, managing, directing, etc).
Narrative formats and complete sentences are difficult to read and
unappealing.
An easy to read format for employment history is shown
below:
Company Name _____________ City, State
One Sentence Description of Company(in a smaller font, in
parenthesis) Title(possibly bolded or
italicized) Responsibilities........
If you have had a series of promotions, put those dates next to
titles in ( ).
Education last, not first, unless entry level.
Additional Skills, and Computer Skills, and titles (sections)
should be put at the bottom of the page.
