RESUME TIPS

1. Make sure your name, address and phone number are clearly visible at the
top of your resume. Include any alternate phone numbers that you may be
reached at and/or an e-mail address.

2. Objective Statements should be tailored to the type of position you are
seeking. They should be detailed enough to give the reviewer a general idea of
the type of position you are seeking, but not too specific to disqualify you from
other similar positions that might be available.

3. The Education section of your resume should contain all of post-secondary
institutions attended beginning with the most recent. Be sure to list the dates
that you attended each and the degrees awarded. Include any academic
research in which you were involved. Only list your GPA if it is above a 3.0

4. The Experience section of your resume should contain all jobs that you have
held beginning with the most recent. Be sure to include dates of employment,
job title, and specific job duties.

5. List any instrumentation, computer software or other tools you have worked
with that may be of interest to a future employer.

6. List any organizations you belong to or awards you have received.

7. Do not make any mention of salary unless the job advertisement specifically
asks for salary requirements.

8. References may or may not be included with the resume. If you decide to
include them, list 3-4 PROFESSIONAL references (i.e. people that have worked
with you in the past.)

9. NEVER make any mention to marital status, gender, race, religious
background, children, etc. This is an out-dated practice and should have no
bearing on whether or not you are qualified for a particular position.

10. ALWAYS double and triple check your resume for spelling and grammatical
errors prior to sending it out. Remember, this is the first impression you will
make on a potential employer.
