| SUMMARY: |
We find
a summary much more effective and less limiting than stating
an objective. Include three to five lines that define you and
your experience. Highlight your professional experience and
specialization. Get your focus up front and at the top of the
page -- this is the first information read! If appropriate,
list in bullet form 2-3 accomplishments or highlights.
Example:
- Seasoned Software
Developer with a focus on client server system architecture
design and GUI development.
- Development
experience crosses UNIX, NT and VMS platforms.
- Full life cycle
experience with exceptional skills in analysis and design.
- Primary development
in Java, C and C++ languages with most recent experience
concentrated in Java.
- Project Management
and Team Leadership experience.

| EDUCATION: |
In this
day and age, making your education and professional training
known can make a crucial difference. If you have greater than
a 3.4 GPA, list it -- as well as honors achievements. List professional
training courses in reverse chronological order. List your certifications
here as well. |
| TECHNOLOGY: |
Spell
it out. List strongest areas of technology first. Group your
software, hardware, systems, and applications accordingly. |
| EXPERIENCE: |
- Most recent
first! If you show multiple positions in your companies,
make sure it doesn't appear as though each position is at
a different company -- no one wants to hire a hopper! Be
accomplishment/result oriented. Focus on achievements. Make
sure that your resume shows what you accomplished -- but
you need not explain every detail -- save that for the interview.
- Titles should
be functional. Avoid "Member of Technical Staff", or a title
such as "Associate Engineer" when your work is really Technical
Writer.
- Bullet your
experience by projects or areas of expertise and remember
to insert the technology you worked with and include numbers:
how many lines of code, how many users on your network,
dollar value and number of people on projects you managed,
etc.
- Avoid words
such as "responsible for" and "participated in". Describe
your activities using action verbs, such as "programmed",
"designed", "maintained", "managed", etc.
