Engineering Career Center Resume Guide 1 • Information all resumes should include: Contact Information Objective Education Professional or Volunteer Experience Technical Skills • Additional information that sells a person Technical Projects Related/Current Coursework Professional Organizations or Leadership Honors/Awards/Achievements • Tasks/duties should be stated using industry terms and action words. Use proper verb tense of action words. Present tense: design; Present participle tense: designing; Past tense: designed. • Resume should be aesthetically pleasing, with appropriate use of spacing, bold and italics; limit use of contractions, abbreviations and acronyms. • Resume should be error free. • Things to be mindful of when creating the resume: Format: Layout of resume, sections or subsections should be clear and follow the same patterns. Make sure your resume does not look too crowded or seem too heavy on one side; ensure margins are not too wide or narrow, style of font and/or font size is appropriate/ professional and that tabs are set for columns, placement of dates and locations of jobs. Consistency: Consistently format section titles, state/country references (abbreviated or spelled out), dates (August 2010, 8/2010, Aug 2010), font style and font size. Subjectivity: Avoid subjective opinions (energetic, fast learner). A resume has far more impact if limited to facts. Grammar: Use correct grammar, verb tense in tasks/duties, capitalization of proper nouns (AutoCAD, Houston, Engineering Intern, Wheeler Avenue), punctuation (no periods after abbreviations; watch for use of commas, colons and semicolons); do not use confusing or inaccurate phrasing. Spelling: Proofread resume to check for spelling and typographical errors. Have your resume critiqued by a professional. 2 Objective: Should be a concise, 1-2 line statement, such as “To obtain an entry-level field engineering position.” or “Seeking a mechanical engineering internship.” Priority Order/Sequencing: Students should consider “Priority Order” when deciding on sequence of sections. “Priority Order” means listing information on a resume according to what is most important and of interest to employers. This applies to job duties too. Example: Technical Skills are more important that Honors/Awards, therefore, the technical skills section on your resume should appear before your awards. Education: Too many educational entries can become confusing and unclear. • Remove all high school information after completing two years of college. • Employers are not very interested in an unrelated associate’s degree or prior colleges attended for which the student did not earn at least a bachelor’s degree. • Include GPA if over a 2.75. Technical Projects: Engineering class projects can enhance a resume. • Use the PAR (problem-action-results) method to describe tasks performed or skills learned. • Use bullets, actions words and industry terms when describing tasks and actions performed. Work Experience: Provide detailed information of duties performed on the job. Stay away from terms like: responsible for; duties included; my tasks were to. • Use 3-5 bullets to describe skills and tasks; stress accomplishments. • Use action words and industry terms. Chronology: Education and Work Experience sections should begin with the most recent or current information first, then progress in reverse chronological order. Action Verbs: Begin each “task/duty” statement with an action verb; this is a more powerful way of stating duties and puts more emphasis on what students actually did or accomplished. Achievements: Achievements are more impressive if quantifiable results are included, (eg. # of customers served, $ saved, % quality improvement, etc.). Skills: Skills can include computer, equipment and languages and should be presented effectively. All sections should be clear, concise, necessary and as brief as possible. Length: Preferred length is one page; employers seldom read past the first page at the campus level of recruitment. References: References should not be included on a resume; references should be captured on a separate document. Suggestion If student is a U.S. citizen/resident and name is questionable, add citizenship status to contact information section. If student is not a U.S. citizen/resident do not include citizenship status on resume. 3 DANIEL STAFFORD 302 Cullen Avenue 713-743-4230 Houston, TX 77022 dstafford@uh.edu OBJECTIVE To obtain the Process Engineer position with Parsons Energy and Chemicals.
