What to Write on Your Resume. A blank page stares at you, and you are about to type the things which will ‘sell’ you to your employer. What do you write?

1. Basic information

Your name, birthday, current address, and contact details (landline, mobile phone number, and e-mail).

2. Educational information

Where you graduated (or will be graduating from), and graduate school, if any.

3. Awards, special citations

Are you a dean’s lister? Graduated with honors? Don’t be too humble—these things will help show your employer that you are serious in what you do.

4. Job Experiences

Did you volunteer at a museum? Did on-the-job training (OJT) for a publishing house? Became an assistant to a scientist/professor? Put these in as it will show you are serious about the career path you are taking.

5. Seminars, workshops attended

These will show how much you are willing to learn, especially if it is beyond the academe (not required, or held outside the campus).

6. References

During college, do you remember that professor who believed in you; constantly urging you to continue writing, or to apply for a certain job? Ask him or her if you can add his or her name in your resume as a reference. A reference is someone who knows you well; it is better to stick with someone who really knows you and how you work, rather than someone famous, whose name will look good on your resume. Why? Because your reference will be the people the company you are applying to will ask about you. You wouldn’t want them ignoring an e-mail from the company because they cannot remember you, or because they have nothing good to say about you.
