Making a great first impression

means making a great resume!

Your resume is the first thing a prospective employer will see. It will help them get an idea of who you are, how you might fit with their company, and the kind of work they can expect from you.

Your resumes should be submitted by the end of class on Monday, October 3rd. 
Submit them to: sclar2@u.brockport.edu



Key points from the guide below:

• Include graduation date and GPA if it is 3.0 or higher. 

• Regardless of style, begin each phrase/sentence/ bullet with an active verb when writing about experiences. Use the list of active verbs provided in the document. 

• You should have 1 inch margins, major headings (like ‘Education’) on the left, then indent with additional information below. 

• Use a traditional font  (Arial, just not cursive…) at 12 point size.
