3. There are various ways to set up an effective resume, but at the least your resume should meet the requirements of clarity, compactness, and completeness.

4. For most resumes, a perfectly typed and intelligently arranged listing of qualifications is sufficient.

5. Note that the typing should be perfect – no handwritten corrections or insertions of any kind.

6. All resumes you create, however, will include the following.

1. Your name, mailing address, and phone number where you can be reached during working hours.

2. Your work experience. This category will, of course, list any jobs in the same field in which you are now seeking employment. But any related work experience should also be cited.

3. Your educational background, including any college and advanced degrees and fields of specialization.

4. Any volunteer experience, hobbies, or special skills you have that are pertinent to the job you are applying for.

5. References. It is current practice not to list the names and addresses of people willing to supply references. On your resume, instead, supply a line reading “References supplied on request”, “References available upon request”, or similar wording.

7. The two principal ways of setting up the information in the resume are chronological and functional.
