Resume Writing: Experience

Posted On: Wednesday, January 9th, 2008 - Posted By: GigTide

This is an important section but not the most important. Here you will list your employment history and, depending on the style of resume you are writing, include the details here or in the Qualifications section. Do not use your job description to describe what you did at your previous places of employment. Instead, focus on the things that matter to your potential employer.

You might include these items: (A bulleted list is recommended for this section)

  • Name and City / State of Company
  • Title of Position (Department- optional)
  • Month/Year Hired – Month/Year Departed
  • Accomplishments (optional depending on your choice of resume style)

Example

  • Acme Widget Co., Somewhereville, MN – Sales Manager (2006-Current)
  • Widgets R-Us, Somewhereville MN – Sales Associate (2004-2006)
  • Widget Media, Somewhereville NY – Marketing Associate (2000-2004)

Resume Writing: Objective

Posted On: Wednesday, January 9th, 2008 - Posted By: GigTide

Example

A Widget Sales Management position where the need for a broad range of sales and product knowledge is focused on delivering results.

Your objective indicates what position you desire from an employer in a way that speaks to their needs. Your objective is the first opportunity you have to ignite interest and keep your resume relevant to the employer. Keep your objective interesting but short and to the point. Avoid using words or phrases that do not offer value. Point out things that make you perfect for the position you are applying for. This section should be no longer than 2-3 lines.

*Take advantage of GigTide’s multiple resume feature and tailor your resumés to speak directly to each employer.
