Sample Resume A

Answer 1

In order to write a successful resume, there are a few tips to adhere to. Resumes should be simple, straightforward, easy to read and complete. Resumes should have sections clearly labeled. A resume should give complete information, highlight a person’s skills and be tailored to each job a person is applying for.

Sample Resume:

John Doe (this text should be centered and larger than all others, preferably 16 pt and bold)

123 Alphabet St (contact information should all be centered and bold)

New York, NY 000000

Home: (123) 456-7890

Cell: (234) 567-8901

email: hireme@hireme.com

Skills and Abilities: (leave the heading left justified and should be bold)

Use this area to list 6 to 8 skills that are bulleted and are what the employer is looking for in a candidate. Each job a person applies for should have a resume specific to it. List skills pertinent to that job. Skills should be bold, bulleted and centered.

For example:

Skills and Abilities:

Supervisor Skills Cash Handling Skills Customer Service

Inventory Typing 65 wpm Warehouse Experience

Work History: (leave the heading left justified and should be bold)

Starting with most current employer, list employer, address, phone, hire dates and depart dates, or list presently employed, supervisor’s name and phone followed by duties and last rate of pay. Current employment information should be bold. Leave a blank line between each employment section. List at least 5 years worth of work history.

For example:

Start with most current education and work backwards. List the school name, address, phone, area studied, date completed or attended if not completed and what degree received.
