What is a resume? It's a one page document summarizing your skills, experiences, and accomplishments. An effective resume succinctly describes your education and experience that specifically relate to the job you are applying for. Information on the resume should be presented in order of relevance to the position and the skills, knowledge and abilities it requires. Learn more below:

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a resume and a CV?

Resumes and curriculum vitaes (CV) are documents that give an overall picture of your experience, skills, and other important details recruiters may be looking for - with some minor differences:

Resume
A resume is a document (typically one page) summarizing your skills, experiences, and accomplishments. An effective resume succinctly describes your education and experience as it relates to your targeted position. View resume examples below.

CV (Curriculum Vitae)
A CV contains more details than a resume and often includes four additional sections: research experience, teaching/mentoring experience, publications or poster presentations, and references.

When should I submit my resume?

You should submit your resume when you find a position that you want to apply for, but also use your resume as a summary of accomplishments during networking situations.

What is a good format for a resume?

You do not want to get overly creative with the format of your resume. A professional way to do it is using bullet points and action verbs. Check the Career Toolkit for resume examples or see resume samples below.

How is a resume used?

Resumes are submitted to employers either electronically or in person at networking events or career fairs. Based on your resume, cover letter, and personal experience, the employer will decide if they would like to invite you for an interview.

How do I have my resume reviewed by DCP?

The Division of Career Pathways offers virtual appointments to have your resume and cover letter reviewed during one-on-one advising. Please check Handshake for available appointments.
