Resume Component Guidelines
Work Experience
- List the title of the position you held. Begin with your most recent experience first.
- Reference the name of the organization and location (city and state).
- Insert dates you were employed. Make sure you are consistent in use of months, semesters, etc.
- Describe your work experience. Use past tense verbs like "achieved" instead of passive words like "was responsible for." (See Action Word List). Try to show not only what you did, but also how well you did it. You can accomplish this by citing accomplishments, supervision, responsibilities, etc. Use past tense even if you are still employed in the position. Use phrases, not entire sentences, and eliminate all personal pronouns (I, me, my, etc.).
All of your work experience may be included under this heading, or you may divide it up to better support your career objective by placing all directly related experience (paid or unpaid) under one Related Experience heading. Other headings which might be used include:
| RELATED WORK EXPERIENCE |
RELATED EXPERIENCE |
| RETAIL EXPERIENCE |
OTHER WORK EXPERIENCE |
| OTHER EXPERIENCE |
VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE |
