Create a professional resume for your use in applying for employment.  Your textbook has excellent examples of effective formats for resumes.  Choose one that best represents who you are as a potential employee.

Tips for writing a good resume:

1. Begin with your personal contact information.  Your name is your resume title.

2. List your education history in reverse chronological order. (working from most recent backwards)  If you are currently attending college, list the college, your major area/s of study, and the anticipated year of your graduation.

3. List your job history, again in reverse chronological order.  Include dates of employment.  Include job responsibilities, especially for your current or most recent job.

4.  Optional.  Include your interests, achievements, community affiliations, and other aspects of your life that positively influence your work performance.

5.  Do not include a photograph on a resume.

6.  Optional. Include professional references.  If you do this, be sure to acquire their permission before you list them.  You don't want them to be surprised when they get a "blind" call asking for information about you.

7.  Proofread! Your resume must be free of any errors.
