This worksheet is not your resume. If there are important experiences you didn’t write here, jot
them down. Depending on your individual experience, you may include sections like military service,
specialized skills and certifications, workshops and conferences, etc. When you’ve gathered all your
basic information, type it all up. Use this as your personal guide, a master resume, and update it at
least once a year.
Now for the resume you give out to people: create a digital COPY of your master and remove
the sections that you think are not so relevant/useful. Make this resume simple and crisp. Visually
highlight your strengths using indentation, bulleting, and bold or italics if you need. I like to use
tables to help me format the spacing better. Keep it to ONE PAGE. Look at other examples online
and ask your mentors to review and help you make it SOLID. Then go for that job or internship.
If/when you don’t get accepted, be gracious and thank the company for their time. Learn what you
can from the experience, and move on. It’s a tough job market, but if you keep pressing, you’ll end
up where you want to be.
