There are many good books that offer sample resumes and describe widely used formats. The one that is still most popular, the reverse chronological emphasizes where you worked and the job 1 you held. Your name and address go at the top and also your phone number. What job do you want? That’s what a 2 employer looks for first. If you know exactly, list that under Job Objective. Otherwise, save it for your cover letter when you’re writing for a specific job to a 3 person. In any case, make sure your 4 focused on the kind of work you can do and want to do. Now comes work experience. Here’s where list your qualifications. Lead with your most important 5 . If you’ve had a distinguished work history in an area related to the job you are seeking, lead off with that. If your education will 6 the prospective employer more, start with that. Begin with your most 7 experience first and work backwards. Include your titles or positions held and list the years. The most 8 people don’t always get job. It goes to the person who presents himself most 9 in person and on paper. So don’t just list where you were and what you did. This is your chance to tell how well you did. Were you the best salesman? Did you cut operating costs? Give numbers, 10 ,percentage, increased sales or profits.
