 Why Write a Résumé
Your résumé summarizes your personal and professional preparation for the position to which you are applying. Even if
you are applying via an online application system and a résumé document is not required; you will need to supply most,
if not all, of the common elements of a well-designed résumé in the online fields. It is generally expected to have copies
of your résumé when you interview, to hand out. Finally, by continually updating your résumé, you will not have to
hassle with recalling important details from past experiences, as they will be all in one place-your resume.

Types of Résumés
There are several basic types of résumés used to apply for job openings. Depending on your personal circumstances, you
may choose a reverse chronological, functional, combination (hybrid), a targeted résumé or a non-traditional format.

Reverse Chronological Résumé:

A reverse chronological résumé starts by listing your work history with the most current position listed first. Your jobs
are listed in reverse chronological order with your current or most recent job, first. This type of résumé works well for
job seekers with a solid work history.

Functional Résumé:
A functional résumé focuses on your skills and experience. It is used most often by people who are changing careers or
who have gaps in their employment history as well as those with no work experience or an extensive work history. A
functional résumé can also be effective for students who have never worked with a focus on transferable skills.

Combination (Hybrid) Résumé:

A combination résumé lists your skills and experience first. Your employment history is listed next. This type of résumé
can be used to highlight skills that are relevant to the job you are applying for and also provide the chronological work
history.

Targeted Résumé:
A targeted résumé is a résumé that is customized so that it specifically highlights the experience and skills you have that
are relevant to the job to which you are applying. It definitely takes more work to write a targeted résumé than to just
click to apply with your existing résumé. However, it's well worth the effort, especially when applying for jobs that are a
perfect match for your qualifications and experience.

Federal Résumé:
A federal résumé is constructed specifically to apply for Federal government jobs.

Nontraditional Résumés:
There are several formats of nontraditional résumés such as infographic résumés, video résumés and a portfolio as a
résumé. Generally these types of résumé are for specific creative arts related jobs. In most cases, the format of these
résumés requires an electronic presence and they are not included in this packet. To learn more about these styles and
create your own nontraditional résumé visit the following pages:

 When to Write a Résumé, CV, or Federal Résumé
A CV (Curriculum Vitae) is primarily used for academic or research positions. It is usually longer and more comprehensive
and lists your academic experiences and accomplishments. You will include research interests, papers published and
academic conferences at which you have presented. If you are applying for a teaching or research position, you will
typically be asked for a CV.
A résumé is a summary of your skills, education, and experience. You can choose from a variety of formats such as
reverse chronological, functional, combination, or targeted.
The chart below will help you decide which one to use. Most often, the position announcement will state which type to
submit.

 Writing Objective Statements

When to have an objective:

If you are writing a cover letter for a job application, you often do not need to have an objective because
sufficient detail beyond the objective is clearly stated in your cover letter.

If you will be distributing your résumé at a career fair or networking event, then it is wise to include an
objective because, if not included, the employer will have to guess what you want.

What is an objective?
What is the Georgia State Panthers' objective in a football game? To score points and to win the game. This
objective is simple, easy to understand, and focused. Your objective should be this way too! When you write
run-on sentences and verbose prose, it does not impress and rather leaves the reader a bit confused.

The following are examples of POORLY written objectives:

 Seeking a challenging position where I can use my skills and degree in a growing company that has
opportunity for advancement
 To obtain a responsible (as opposed to irresponsible?) and challenging (what, you don't like dull work?)
position where my education and work experience will have valuable application (like finding a cure for
cancer?)

Below are examples of effective objective statements:

 To obtain a full-time position in the hospitality industry involving event planning, international
customer service and business operations
 To obtain a part-time position involving customer service and administrative duties

Tips on writing effective objective statements:

You do not need to state the specific job and company you are applying to; however, you do want to at least
describe the type of position (full-time, part-time, internship) and the general tasks you would like to perform.

Remember to keep the objective statement concise (no longer than two lines).

Common Headings to Consider Using in your Résumé

 Objective (optional)  Computer Skills  Publications
 Education (courses,  Language Skills  Presentations
projects, and research)  Volunteer Experience  Workshops
 Work Experience  Community Experience  Seminars
 Related Experience  Certifications  Recitals
 Additional Experience  Licensures  Art Shows
 Related Skills  Honors/Awards  References

If you would like further assistance, please consult a University Career Services staff member in room 260
University Center during Résumania Monday - Friday between 9:00am and 3:00pm.

 Creating Effective Accomplishment Statements
What are accomplishment statements?
Accomplishments are things you started, completed, worked on, created, developed or made possible-things
that happened because you were there on the job. They are specific to you as you worked in the role; these
are not simply tasks or duties from a job description.

Example of a Task:
 Wrote weekly reports on sales and submitted reports to supervisor

Example as an accomplishment:
 Completed 134 summary reports on sales, including weekly volume, percent of increase, number of
new accounts; received praise from supervisor for accuracy and timeliness.
Think: A-A-R
How do I write an accomplishment statement?
Accomplishments
 Think about what you did most of the time in your job.
 What was most significant? What resulted in a positive outcome? Achievements
 How did you stand out on the job?
 Did you receive awards or praise (from supervisors, co-workers, or customers)? Recognitions
 What did you learn or accomplish?
 Who did you work with in completing task (different level of people)?
 What was your greatest personal achievement in the position?
 What metrics do you have to document efforts, outcomes, and/or accomplishments?

Consider how you developed and used common transferable skills: communication, time management, multi-
tasking, leadership, analytical ability and problem-solving, negotiation, working in a face paced environment or
with a team.

Accomplishment statements should begin with an action verb, can include adjectives, should be positive and
contain numbers or quantities whenever possible for a stronger impact for the reader.

When crafting your résumé consider:

 Who is going to be reading this résumé?
 How can I best grab the reader’s attention right away?

The following are examples of statements that have been revised to be more effective:
Using Action Verbs Task:  Responsible for fundraising campaign
Revised:  Directed United Way fundraising campaign
successfully reaching a $1.5 million goal
Using Adjectives Task:  Experience working in a manufacturing setting
Revised:  Assumed over 3 years of progressively
responsible assignment in a fast-paced
manufacturing environment
Using Numbers/Quantities Task:  Greeted customers and supervised front desk
 Supervised 8 front desk employees; ensured
excellent customer service for up to 350 hotel
guest and visitors.

 How to get your Résumé Reviewed and Approved with a RésuMania Quick Scan

RésuMania Quick Scan is an opportunity for students to meet one-on-one with a University Career Service (UCS) staff
member for a quick scan 15 minute résumé critique. Choose any time during walk-in hours and bring a hard copy of your
résumé or be prepared to access a digital version for print. If you do not have a résumé, we will provide you with
assistance to help you get started. Our office also advises on cover letters and curriculum vitae (CV’s).

The steps to getting your résumé approved on Panther Career Net:

1. Bring a copy of your résumé to Resumania (University Center 260, Monday through Friday from 9am to 3pm) or to

whom you worked. This person is your point person for any future résumé questions and concerns.
2. Revise your résumé as directed. Small edits can make big differences!
3. Upload your résumé to Panther Career Net after you have made the revisions.
4. Then, get in touch with the staff person with whom you initially worked to let them know that your revised résumé is

5. Your résumé will be approved by this staff person or you will be contacted to make additional edits to your résumé.
6. Once formally approved, apply to jobs!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I upload my résumé to Panther Career Net instead of coming in person?
Résumés must be formally reviewed IN PERSON prior to approval. Simply uploading your résumé does not constitute
approval.

What will happen if I want to change/delete my résumé after I’ve been approved?
If you delete your first originally approved résumé, you will be required to get approval again. Do not delete the original
résumé, but you can upload as many additional résumés as you like.

Do I need to get my résumé approved?

errors, which will significantly improve the appearance of your document and the feedback you receive from employers!
