Build A Resume
Workshop
Workshop Objectives
• Learn why you need a resume.
• Learn what information a resume requires.
• Create a resume.
Why Resumes?
• Resumes are for marketing yourself!
• Resumes are how employers decide who to
interview.
– Fun Fact: Employers scan a resume for 10-30 seconds
to decide whether or not to put it in the slush pile.
– Resume reviews are the first step of the hiring
process.
• Your resume is a evolving document that you will
update through your life.
Worksheet Activity!
• While I am going through the
presentation and explain the worksheet,
please fill out what you can!
But What If I Don’t Have…
• A computer to back up resumes?
– Create a Gmail Account and use Google Drive to save your
files.
• A consistent phone number?
– Google Voice provides a legit phone number that you can
use. All voicemails and texts will be saved just like in a
email account. You can save contacts as well.
– You can set it up so that calls to the GV number will
forward to another phone number.
• Interview Clothes/Work Outfits?
– My Sister’s Closet with the YWCA provides free
professional garb. Referral paperwork is in computer lab.
What Should Be On A
Resume?• Name and Contact Information
– Address is option; phone number and email are
not.
• Education
• Skill Sets
– Computer Software, Customer Service, Ability to
Lift 50 lbs, etc.
• Work History
• Volunteer/Internship Activities
• Awards
What Should Not Be On A
Resume?
• Political or Religious Beliefs
• Hate speech or swear words
• Astrological Sign
• Negativity towards past employer
– Even if they really sucked.
• Unfinished Education Experience
– If you didn’t finish that certification course, don’t add it!
• Typos, unrelated information, hobbies, or personal trivia
– No one cares if the Cowboys are your favorite NFL team.
Contact Information
• Updated information
• Don’t give out other people’s phone
numbers as your own
• Addresses are optional
• Emails should be professional.
– Life Tip: Create a gmail account that is your first
initial and your last name for ONLY jobs and
professional use.
Objective/Professional
Summary
• Optional but can fill in short resumes.
• Consider it a mini-cover letter for your resume
• Good for highlighting the overall narrative of your career.
• No ‘I’ statements.
• Example Professional Summary:
– Strong public speaking, teaching, and facilitating skills for
diverse student, professional, and general audiences.
• Example Objective Statement:
– Dedicated CIS graduate pursuing a help-desk position.
Education
• Format: [School Name], [Degree Earned], [Years
Attended]
– Example: Sabino High School, Diploma, 2006-2010
– State of Arizona, General Educational Development Diploma, 2014
• Don’t list schools or programs that you didn’t graduate
or complete
• Add clubs, awards, and relevant classes.
– Applying to an auto shop? Put that you took an auto mechanic
class in High School.
Skill Set
• A skill set section lists all of the tools, skills, and
competencies that you have. These can include:
– Customer Service
– Microsoft Word
– Adobe Photoshop
– Public Speaking
– Sales
– Soldering
– Computer Repair
– Money Handing
– Filing
Work History
• This could also be called Professional History and include
relevant internships and volunteering.
• Does not need addresses or phone numbers.
– But that information is good to have so keep it for your records because many job applications want the
addresses and phone numbers.
• Use action verbs to describe your responsibilities and
duties.
– Use accomplishments or quantified information if possible. Like ‘top ten salesman for district.’
Action Verb Examples
• Computed and recorded inventory valuation on a monthly basis
• Documented inventory counts at the end of each working day

account
