Resume Writing

Your resume is a marketing tool and an introduction to you and your experiences.  It should not be a complete employment history, but rather a concise summary of your education, work experience, and other qualifications that reflect and support your potential for success in the job for which you are applying.  Your resume is a "first impression" that communicates your professional qualifications to employers in order to interest them in interviewing you.  

Write your resume in a clear, visually appealing format. Use the Resume Writing Checklist and the sample resumes below as guides to help you write your own resume, and include several resume verbs to describe your accomplishments.  Be sure to have your resume critiqued by an OCD staff member for clarity and effectiveness.
