Monday–Friday 8 a.m.–5 p.m.The résumé
Résumés are a representation of your personal brand: your calling card. Most of the content is factual (education, work experience, honors, awards, and activities), and you should wordsmith it to get the best clarity and impact, as well as format the resume for easy reading and attractiveness.
The portion of the resume where you have an opportunity to differentiate yourself from other candidates is in the section where you highlight or summarize your overall skills and competencies. This is a legitimate place to “toot your own horn.” This section, often referred to as a Qualification Summary, should include four to six bullet points about your unique skills. What are your unique skills and abilities?
Come to see us in room 121 to set up an appointment to have your résumé reviewed or email us at fcb-cdo@nau.edu.
