              Profile (Or summary of qualifications)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

              This section is a short introductory paragraph at the beginning of your r\u00e9sum\u00e9 that shows how you are of value to the employer.\u00a0 It can establish your professional worth and help get you noticed.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. The goal is to encapsulate your experience in a short space and highlight four to six high-level skills or accomplishments that really make you stand out.<\/li>\n
              2. Things to include could be honors and awards, professional or academic achievements, or relevant training and education.<\/li>\n
              3. Include short phrases that showcase your abilities, skills, and expertise.<\/li>\n
              4. Avoid clich\u00e9d language such as \u201cdetail-oriented\u201d or \u201cexcellent communication skills.\u201d
                \nDon\u2019t just say it, you must be able to include an example of how you DEMONSTRATED it.<\/strong><\/li>\n
              5. Always be sure to use attention-grabbing keywords and action verbs to signify the importance and magnitude of your accomplishments and achievements.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Examples:<\/p>\n

                PROFILE (or SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS if you choose)<\/strong><\/p>\n

                  Technical Skills (or hard skills)<\/h2>\n

                  This section is a short list of all of the hard skills in which you have experience. This list may change depending on the skills the employer seeks in a hiring candidate. If an employer specifically lists in their job description, under \"Qualifications,\" or \"Requirements,\" that they are looking for someone with WordPress experience, this is the section where you would list WordPress to show you have experience doing what it is the employer cares about.<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. By using the words (skills) you read in the job description, you will be noticed by the applicant tracking system (ATS) and have a better chance of being called for an interview.<\/li>\n
                  2. The list does not need to be very long. Only include the key words you read so you can catch the employer's attention to make them want to continue reading.<\/li>\n
                  3. All skills always need to be spelled out and there should not be any abbreviations.<\/li>\n
                  4. Avoid clich\u00e9d language such as \u201cdetail-oriented\u201d or \u201cexcellent communication skills.\u201d This section is meant for \"Hard Skills\" and not subjective adjectives of who you think you are.<\/li>\n
                  5. This section typically goes directly below the Profile (Summary) section because you want it to be one of the first things the employer notices.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      Education<\/h2>\n

                      This information should be listed as: School Name, Town, State, Degree, Major, GPA (if it is at least a 3.0 or higher) and graduation date (or anticipated date).\u00a0 Special coursework or areas of study, and\/or workshops can be listed under a separate heading called Coursework<\/strong> or Course Highlights<\/strong>. Once you have enough experience, the education section should be moved to the bottom.<\/p>\n

                        \n
                      1. List your education in reverse chronological order.<\/li>\n
                      2. If you have a bachelor degree, there is no reason to list an associate degree.<\/li>\n
                      3. Whether you are s college student or a recent graduate, there is no need to include your high school.<\/li>\n
                      4. The only thing bold in this section should be the degree you hold. It is ok to use commas or colons to separate information.<\/li>\n
                      5. If you are a recent graduate or your academic background is your strongest qualification, you might want to put it closer to the top of your r\u00e9sum\u00e9: especially if your major or coursework is relevant to the position.<\/li>\n
                      6. Experienced professionals should consider eliminating dates of graduation if it was more than 10 years ago. Including a date might make you appear older and your knowledge outdated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                        Coursework\/Course Highlights<\/h2>\n

                        If you are a student or recent graduate, consider providing the full name of any relevant coursework that would show your advanced knowledge of a subject, such as Advanced Algorithms & Analysis<\/em> or Fluid Dynamics<\/em>. The label sounds specific and implies a more specialized knowledge of subjects within your field.\u00a0 For experienced professionals, citing coursework can illustrate your efforts to maintain, or even expand, upon your level of expertise.<\/p>\n

                        Seminars, lectures, continuing-education classes, additional training and coursework all reveal to an employer that you are motivated and ready to keep current with trends and developments in your particular field.<\/p>\n

                          \n
                        1. List courses in order of importance.<\/li>\n
                        2. Do not include introductory courses that all students are required to take. It does not set you apart from others.<\/li>\n
                        3. This section is optional and should appear after, or in conjunction, with the Education <\/strong>section.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                          Internship Experience<\/h2>\n

                          Internship information is still work experience and can be treated the same as you would treat anything in the Work Experience<\/strong> section.\u00a0 However, for this information to stand out, especially for college students and graduates, it is best to place internships under its own section.<\/p>\n

                            \n
                          1. Use strong action verbs to describe your experience, and when possible, include numerical measures.<\/li>\n
                          2. Eliminate phrases that are menial such as, \u201cfiled paperwork, organized files, ran errands\u2026\u201d 3. Include phrases that demonstrate how you left your mark and made a difference as an intern.<\/li>\n
                          3. Throughout your r\u00e9sum\u00e9, write in the first person without using pronouns. Phrase your statements as if you were talking about yourself without using the words I, Me, My, or Myself.<\/li>\n
                          4. \u201cResponsible for\u2026\u201d<\/strong> is a vague phrase that does not clearly describe your level of involvement. It is better to use strong action verbs to show how you contributed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                            Example:<\/p>\n
