Writing a resume may seem difficult at first, but we are here to help. You can find comfort in the fact there is no "right" or "only" way to write or format a resume. What matters is having relevant content that is easy to read. A standout resume can put you ahead of your competition, especially if it is preceded by a stellar cover letter .
After reviewing the Resume Writing Guide and sample resumes, participate in our Online Document Drop below to receive a written critique. Resumes and cover letters should be reviewed before starting the job search and application process. Several drafts may be needed before document are ready to use, so start early!
Review each of these samples, regardless of your major, to see which format you like best. There is not any one "correct" format. Each resume is in Microsoft Word and can be downloaded and saved to your computer or flash drive. You can then start tailoring the resume by adding your information.
