Getting Started To begin, you will need to evaluate yourself. By taking the time to do this exercise, you will become focused on what your past and present accomplishments include. This will make the process of writing a resume easier. Work on keeping the resume to one page. Use bond paper in white, ivory, or ecru with matching envelopes.
Conservative fonts are appropriate.
Use 9-12 point type face. Print resume on a laser jet printer for best quality. If you have a permanent and temporary address, include both when you are currently living at one address but applying for employment in the other one. Institution information should be listed in reverse chronological order. Honors, awards, GPA, publications and activities can be incorporated into this section.
