A Resume Is

• A marketing tool for your job search
• An individually designed document tailored to each job description
• A highlight of your background, experience, and skills
• Used by employers as a screening device
• Just one piece of the job search process

What's on a Resume?

Resume language should be professional, succinct, and expressive. Make the reader pay attention by using strong action verbs.

• Use the minimum number of words necessary to convey meaning
• Use precise action verbs to describe accomplishments and responsibilities (i.e. "Supervised 4 accounts that resulted in..." rather than "Responsible for supervising 4 accounts...")
• Avoid personal pronouns, but write in the first person
• Leave out articles: a, an, the. Use short sentences or phrases
• Use parallel grammatical structures and consistent verb tenses

Build Your Bullet Points

In your experience sections, describe what you achieved in each of your roles. Go beyond the "duties" of your role and describe specific tasks and accomplishments! Help the reader to understand the context, scope, and significance of your experience.

PHRASE FORMULA

SKILL [strong action verb] + SPECIFIC TASK [job / responsibility] + OUTCOME / IMPACT [how / why]

Try the "5 W and H" questions to help you brainstorm what to include

• WHO | Who did your experience help?
• WHAT | What did you actually do? What was the result of your actions?
• WHERE | Where did your experience take place?
• WHEN | When did this happen?
• WHY | Why did your experience matter? What was the overall impact?
• HOW | How did you do your work? How does your experience relate to what you're applying for?
• Wrote C++ static performance code to calculate performance data
• Managed capital projects with budgets up to $20,000 from the design to startup phases
• Conducted sieve analysis and verified quality of mortar per the requirements of ASTM C790 standards
• Procured donations for University funds from 25+ alumni

TEAM PROJECT EXAMPLE

Senior Design Project  |  Department Name                                                             January - May 2023 Team Lead

• Coordinated with a team of four engineering students to design plans and renovate a building on campus while pursuing a LEED Platinum certification

Resume Types

Master Resume Every resume you send with a job application should be customized to that specific opportunity. However, you won't want to begin each resume from scratch. A "master" resume should house a wide variety of experience and serve as a digest from which to draw upon for your industry-specific resumes.

Tailored Resume

You need a customized resume for every job application. A tailored resume signals two important things to employers:

• It makes you stand out as a more appealing and relevant candidate.
• It shows the employer you put forth time and thoughtfulness when applying and didn't simply send your general resume to every employer you could find.

Action Verbs

Each descriptive phrase in your resume should begin with a strong action verb, and verbs should not repeat themselves throughout your document. Use the list below to identify verbs descriptive of your experiences.

Writing a resume can be an intimidating process; it’s a first impression used by employers to determine whether or not to proceed to an interview. It’s natural for first-time job seekers or career-changers to ask, “where do I even start?” /nWe’ve decided to make the process a bit easier by answering three of the most common questions:/n- “Is it ok to use a template?” – “Which format is best for me?” – “Do I need an objective statement?”/nAnswering these three questions will have you well on your way to your first resume!

Master’s Student Resume Samples

Your resume is individual to you, your experiences, skills, and education. These sample resumes are not intended to be used as a template. The job/internship description defines the content of the resume; therefore, you will have more than one resume as you apply for various opportunities. Using action verbs , providing context/details, describing transferable skills, and including results/impacts in the bullet points of the experience section are key elements to an effective resume. In addition, it is important to think strategically about who will be reviewing your resume.  

The sample resumes below show both strengths and areas for improvement, which are listed to the right of the document. For more information and assistance with writing an effective resume, we recommend that you view the formatting checklist and resume resources below. We also have online resume books connected with career fairs , so be sure to upload yours in advance of the relevant fair. Finally, we encourage you to schedule an advising appointment on our Handshake platform to have your resume reviewed by Career Services.

Here are some general formatting guidelines to get you started with the formatting. Remember to always be consistent throughout the document:

• Your margins are at least 0.65” on all sides and your font size is at least 10pt.
• Your section headers are all spelled correctly (spellcheck does not automatically check words in ALL CAPS).
• You have provided your official degree (e.g. “Candidate for Master of _____”).
• You have included cities and states for each experience and formatted them consistently. (Make sure locations are listed in the same place for each experience and use two-letter state abbreviations).
• All your experiences have dates, including months or seasons, and are formatted consistently. (Be especially mindful of alignment, spacing, how you abbreviate months, and dashes: – versus – ).
