It is critical that your resume be neat and free of typographical, spelling or grammatical errors. Resume Styles Choose a resume format which best shows how your individual credentials support your objective. The two suggested resume styles for students in the Department of Wood Science and Forest Products are Chronological and Functional. Examples of these styles are attached. In this style of resume, you identify information in reverse chronological order, with your most recent experience listed first.
Chronological resumes are the easiest to prepare and seem to be the most popular style used.
This type of resume is very effective if most of your work experience directly relates to your job objective. Many job seekers with limited experience also find this format suitable. Additional jobs are listed in another section, placing less emphasis on these unrelated experiences. Listings within each section are in reverse chronological order. Resume Length Students completing a bachelor's degree should rarely need a resume longer than one page.
