2．1 Writing Your Resume Step by Step
Brainstorm Time! No one knows you better than yourself! It is your responsibility, not others’, to
“draw” a clear and vivid picture about all these things that your interviewers want to know! It is
also “show time” now!!!
Step 1: Gathering Information
Before you write, take time to do a self-assessment on paper. Outline your skills and abilities as
well as your work experience and extracurricular activities. This will make it easier to prepare a
thorough resume.
Step 2: Deciding What to Include
In order to clarify what is relevant to a particular job, ask yourself the following
questions:
• What do I do best?
• What skills have I developed?
• What work experiences have I found satisfying?
• If I am looking at a specific job description, what skills and experiences are
identified?
• What is important about my education? (This usually includes degrees and
perhaps specific courses.)
• Are there unique experiences or talents I want to share?
Take time to answer these questions thoughtfully. Doing so will make the task of creating a
resume easier. Then organize your materials to answer these questions. There may be some
overlap, and that's okay.
Step 3: Choosing a Format
There are two basic formats that are found when writing a resume: a skills-based resume
and a reverse chronological resume. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes
certain characteristics of each are combined to create a combination resume. Depending
on the job for which you are applying, you may choose one format or the other. It is good
to try both styles to see which one presents the most powerful image.
Recognize the types of resume so you can choose the type effective for your situation:
• Chronological（时序型）
• Skills-based /Functional（功能型）
• Combination（混合型） |
