Take a look at the following samples to give you some ideas on formatting your
resume. While some formats may be more effective when applying to particular
fields, keep in mind that, in the end, you want your resume to represent you and
what you have to offer to the employer.
Use these examples as guides when constructing your resumes, but also use your
best judgment. If there are pieces of the different sections that you
like from different samples, feel free to combine them, ensuring that it makes sense (and looks
appropriate) to both you and your audience. The resumes below, reverse chronological in format, are often used
when applying for positions in the arts, non-profit, and other non-business
sectors. The first resume is geared for first or second year students, but by
leaving off all high school information, it is suitable for juniors and seniors
as well.
The two resumes samples here are helpful when applying for research, science,
computer, and arts/design positions as their structure enable you to list
particular skill sets (laboratory skills, photography skills, web design skills)
and experience.
These resume samples are focused more toward the business/consulting sectors
in that they highlight accomplishments and are more conservative in format.
