Experiential Education & Career Services
You will learn how to turn your CV into a U.S. standard resume.
There are two types of U.S. resumes: experienced based and skills based. Refer to the diagram below for an
outline of what these two types of resumes should include and how they are organized.
An International CV almost always includes information that by U.S. standards would be illegal for a potential
employer to ask a candidate. For example, photographs, marital status, religion, race and any other personal
data are excluded from a U.S. resume.
Visit http://careertools.jwu.edu to start creating one of these resume styles. The resume builder tool will
format your resume for you.

OPTIONAL CATEGORY
Always keep in mind that every resume has a purpose, everything on your resume supports that purpose, and
the items that best support your purpose come first. This means you need to target your resume every time
you apply for a job. Use this checklist to build your resume or strengthen the ones you already have.
CONTACT INFO
• Name – should be the biggest thing on your resume
• Full Address (PO Box or lack of address looks suspicious)
• Phone Number with area code (just your cell phone and make sure your voice message is professional)
• Email (make it professional, not [email protected])
• If you have your own blog or website add it if it’s relevant to the position you are applying for
PROFESSIONAL OBJECTIVE
This is an optional section which can clarify the purpose of your resume – the type of position you want and skills you
can offer. If you decide to include an objective make it short with the company and specific position in mind. Employers
are listening to radio WIFM (What’s In It For Me) and their only interest is the value you can bring to their company.
HIGHLIGHTS OF QUALIFICATIONS
Can be compared to an executive summary. This is one of the first sections an employer will read. Consider including 3
to 4 bullet statements on any of the following: technical, language skills, certifications and an
example of a strength you have that would meet employer needs.
EDUCATION
• School Name, City, State
• Degree Earned, Major, Graduation Year
• Concentration
• GPA (if above 3.0) and Honors
• If appropriate, a list of relevant classes and projects
If you’re like most MBA students, and new graduates, you don’t have extensive work experience, so education is your
strongest feature. Unless you have extensive summer or part-time work, lead with this section. MBA students should
not list high school.
WORK EXPERIENCE
• Company, City, State (start month/year to end /month/year)
• Title
• Bullets
BULLET STATEMENTS
This is where you showcase your accomplishments. Focus on the results you achieved and how you got them. Don’t
re- write your job descriptions - be brief and to the point. You want the first few words of each bullet to be action and
results oriented. One way to tackle bullets is to ask yourself the questions – who, what, when, why and how.
Start with your most recent job and provide 3-4 primary duties highlighting your most important achievements. This
is where you bring out the numbers ($, %, #), use action verbs and make it memorable. Use these helpful questions to
guide you:
• What was the situation or challenge presented to you?
• What was the goal you worked on?
• How big was the project?
• Who was involved? How many people did you supervise?
• How much ahead of deadline or under budget?
• What were the specific actions you took to reach the goal or complete the project?
• How often or when did you perform this task or responsibility?
OTHER CATEGORIES (can be called Other Accomplishments, Activities & Interests or Honors & Associations)
Here’s the place on your resume to detail these accomplishments. Like the “Education” section, this section can really enhance your resume by highlighting alternative experiences that are valuable in the workplace. Include honors,
awards, projects, professional memberships, volunteer work, and military service.
• Name of organization
• Your role and activities (e.g. award name, skills gained, or leadership positions held)
• Date (month/year)
screen the resume in order to forward it to the right
manager/ department.
EXAMPLES:
MARKETING-SKILLS BASED
How long should your resume be? The rule of thumb is
that your resume should be only one page and focus on
employer needs. Your document should be error free and
reader friendly. A CV by comparison can be several pages
and is usually used in the U.S. only for research and
academic positions.
RESUME STYLES
A Skills Based resume is one of the most flexible formats in terms of suitability. It is well suited for students
who have little or no work experience, as well as someone
who has had several positions which do not relate to his/
her current objective. Advantage of this type of resume is
that you can highlight experiences from school or work, as
they relate to the specific requirements of the position
you are applying for.
A Skills Based resume allows you to:
• Focus on skills rather than employment
• Include courses and topics studied, case studies and projects
• Include relevant volunteer work
An Experience Based resume is an excellent choice for
someone who has had 3-5 years of solid work or volunteer
experience which relates to his/her current career objective,
and shows that the candidate has progressed in the chosen
career track. A Highlights of Qualifications section can be
tied together with the individual’s work experience to add
more depth.
Purpose of Experience Based resumes:
• Heavily rely on work experience
• Push MBA degree as it is the most recent accomplishment
• Great option for individual with experience who is looking
• for advancement
• Emphasizes accomplishments in numbers, percentages and transferable skills
NOTE: Steer clear of an Experience Based resume if you
are changing careers, or have little or no work experience
PROFESSIONAL OBJECTIVE
Your personal objective should tell the reader in one
short sentence what you are looking for and your main
strengths.The objective sets the tone for the reader; he/she
does not have to guess what position you are applying for.
It is especially helpful for Human Resource Professionals
to be guided by an objective since they often only
• Highly motivated MBA student looking for an internship in
financial management in the Boston area with a focus on
analytical, financial and leadership skills.
• MBA candidate with proven leadership skills seeking a
management trainee program in an established engineering
firm.
• Hospitality professional with five years of hotel experience
seeking an opportunity to intern in the marketing
department of a major hotel chain.
HIGHLIGHTS OF QUALIFICATIONS
Other heading options for this category:
Qualifications Summary
Professional Summary
Professional Summary of Skills & Accomplishments
Highlights should be expressed in bullet form. These
bullets are short and focus on your personal traits and
accomplishments.
EXAMPLES:
• 3+ years of experience within the [xxx] industry
• Finance oriented, highly analytical; strong business
acumen
• Results focused, proven ability to achieve desired
outcomes
• 2+ years of international work experience
• Bilingual in English and Mandarin, conversational Japanese,
basic German
EDUCATION
The education section of your resume should be listed
chronologically, from your most recent experience to your
first. This rule holds true for any style resume. Exclude high
school.
THE FORMAT FOR THIS SECTION INCLUDES:
• Name of the school attended and the city and state in
which the school is located
• Type of degree, name of program/major, and graduation
year. If you are currently working on a degree, the term
“Candidate” should be used
• Concentrations should be listed directly below the
degree, or on the same line as the degree
• Honors, GPA (optional). You may choose to create an
additional section for honors and awards. See the
“Optional Categories” section. If you choose to state
your GPA, it must be at least a 3.0 or higher.
EXAMPLE:
Johnson & Wales University
Providence, RI
MBA in Global Business Leadership
Candidate, 05/14
Concentration: Organizational Leadership
GPA 3.9/4.0
American University
B.S. Business Administration
GPA 3.7/4.0, Cum Laude
Washington, DC
Degree, 05/13
Note the consistency of how the information is presented;
most recent degree first, the use of “candidate” for the
current degree, and the use of the term Cum Laude (Latin)
meaning “With Honors.”

• [list bullets below for this position]
Tesco PLC., Islington, UK
This section should be bulleted, indented by tabs, or
sectioned into columns (like this page.) Normally you
would list this section after Education, or after Highlights of
Qualifications. This section should be in alphabetical order,
or you should use sub headings. List either your completed
courses by name, or list concepts you have studied or
worked with.
EXAMPLE 1:
AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Accounts Payable
Auditing
Financial Statements
Inventory Audits
Billing
You should always list the titles below if you have held more than
one position with the same employer. The time listed should
reflect the entire time you worked for the employer, not the time
for each position.
Jun – Sep 2013
Bullet statements should be results oriented and create a clear
picture of what you did in the reader’s mind. By using quantifiers
such as “4000 readers” and “25 clients”, and qualifiers such as
“press packets” and “multimedia presentations” you can more
effectively showcase your strengths.
• Assisted in writing, organizing and distributing press
packets and new releases for approximately 4,000
readers
• Produced multimedia presentations for over 25 clients
per year
HONORS, AWARDS, CERTIFICATIONS,
ORGANIZATIONS AND VOLUNTEER WORK
(Optional Category)
This miscellaneous category should be labeled depending
on what you will include in it. If you list only
Certifications, then you should call it Certifications and
nothing else. Make sure that you do not list hobbies. This
category is always listed last on your resume.
