Resume Articles : How to Outline to Make a Resume by Aseriah Jordan

Every resume you will ever write will contain the same components. No matter what format you use, so make sure you have this information on hand before you start writing your Resume...
Basic Components of Every Resume

Job Objective (or Summary of Qualifications)
Experience (employers, dates of employment, job titles)
Accomplishments (what the you've achieved on the job, including exact numbers if available)
Capabilities (skills you would bring to the job applying for)
Education (schools, diplomas, honors, majors, thesis topics, etc.)
However, remember that it is not just that you have the above outline components, it is how you use them-you will have a different level of experience, or education than someone else. So don't just go and copy an example you find off the internet, is not recommended.

Example of Resume 1

Here is some basic components explained a little better.

Ojective Section:Here you will enter a clear, tightly focused job objective cooresponding to the job you are applying for.

Experience Section:In this section you enter data about the various jobs you've held, starting with the most recent and working backwards and down the page.

Education Section:Filling out this section is similar to filling in the experience section. You start by writing down the highest or most recent degree first. Usually these are the same thing, but if they aren't put the most relevant one first.

Extra:Using bullets when listing your accomplishments, education, and capabilities helps the employer read your resume quickly. Also, if it is relevant, you can add sections for volunteer work, languages, publications, seminars attended, licenses, special skills, honors and awards or affiliations (e.g. professional associations).

In Summary
The outline to make a resume is rather simple and you will fulfill most of the questions an employer will have before they call you in for an interview.
