How to Write a Good Résumé

A typical employer will spend about 15 seconds reviewing your résumé the first time. You need to design it so that employers can quickly see what you have to offer them.

Target your résumé to your audience. How does your experience match the employer's needs?

Our résumé tip sheet (PDF), sample résumé (PDF), and résumé jump-start (PDF) detail the kinds of information that you need to include. 

You can see sample résumés in  Internships and Career Planning (PDF) and The Job Search (PDF).
