RESUME INFORMATION
Why do I need a resume?

- A resume tells the employer what you have done in the past and what you can do for the company now.
- A resume provides an advance contact with the employer to generate interest in you so that the employer will want to interview you.
- Your resume is the tool you will use to sell yourself.
Before writing your resume
think
about:
- The type of job you want to apply for and tailor your resume around that type of job.
- Yourself-what are your strengths and skills that you want to bring to the job.
- The type of experience you must have to do the job.
- Quantifying your skills- tell the employer how well you did a task by mentioning a percentage or a number associated with the skill/ example – “Waited on an average of 20 customers per hour”, “Answered 50 phone calls”.
