Resume Writing Tips: Resumes — How To Say It All


With so many things to say in a résumé, how do you make it easy to read? Your structure may depend on what stage you are at in your career (looking for your first job, career change, etc.).

Regardless of your status, we suggest dividing the résumé into sections.

Here are some key sections to include:

Name and Contact Info - Introduce yourself with your name in bold and your address, email, phone number, and/or fax number

Objective - briefly describe what you hope to achieve in your new job

Statement of Faith - primarily for ministry positions

Skills - list your skills that are pertinent to the position for which you are applying

Work Experience - list at least your last three positions and outline your main responsibilities for each one

Education History - Give information on schools, dates you attended, what you studied, and if you received any degree/diploma
