Are you intelligent? friendly? jobless? If it seems that you have ap- plied for every job available, but continue to be unemployed, it may be time to take a second look at your resume. You may be extremely well spoken, have a winning personality, and a charming smile, but if your resume doesn't make the grade, job opportunities will pass you by. Why is a resume so important? With the exception of odd jobs, most of the jobs that are placed at the Student Centre in Exeter require that students submit a resume to apply. An employer may receive tens to hundreds of applicants for any one position that they have availa- ble, and are often too busy to meet with the many applicants. who would like to work for thetn. Resumes are an easy way to give em- ployers the essential information they need to decide on potential em- ployees. Both the appearance and the content of your resume may make or break your chances at an important interview or job offer. Here are some key points to remember while you are creating or up- dating your resume: • Be sure that your contact information (name, address, phone, fax, or email) is clearly stated at the top of your resume. Regardless of how good your resume is, you will have little chance at a job if the employer cannot contact you. • Include the most important information about your work experi- ence and education first. Leave less relevant experience, such as par- ticipation in sports and hobbies, to the end of your resume. • Be sure your resume is not longer than three pages. A resume that is longer that this takes too much time to read, defeating its purpose. Most students find that one to two pages is an adequate resume length. • Students who have little or no paid work experience should focus on their non -paid and volunteer work experience. This may include work that is done in the home or on the farm, or as part of your school, a club or organization. • Be sure the resume is neat, free from spelling and grammar errors, and that the information is displayed in a consistent layout. Always have a parent, teacher, or employment officer check your resume over for mistakes before you submit it to the employer. Remember that a resume represents you in your absence. A sloppy resume will create a poor impression of you with the employer, there- fore, it's worth taking time and energy to prepare your resume. The Human Resource Centre for Students has a variety of resources to help students with resume writing. Students are invited to use the ref- erence books, and the public access computer that is equipped with a resume writing program. The Summer 'Employment Officer can also . provide individual assistance with resume writing to students who drop into the Centre at 281 Main St. South, or who schedule an ap- pointment by calling 235-1171.
