Now it's your turn to make a draft of your resume by pulling your sections together.
The first be specific in identifying the kind of job you want, keeping in mind your objective for writing this resume. Then choose a format: chronological, functional or combination. Remember to write your resume in all three styles, this will help you find the format that work best for you.
Then, make a list of the sections you want to include in your resume. Next outline what each section will incorporate. If you have your "skills file" available, look at your job descriptions, transcripts, awards, performance reviews, etc. and organize them into the sections you will use.
Begin by writing the easiest sections, which are the contact information and then the education sections. Under education, look at your classes, major projects or assignment that relate to the job you are targeting. Include these under the degree you earned. Be sure to include any additional certifications or training or study abroad experience.
Focus on the skills necessary to do the job you are seeking, by listing strengths and skills you used previously to achieve your goals and accomplishments. List as many details as possible such as, dollar amounts, number of people trained, growth in revenue the you where responsible for, ect.
Write one section at a time until your rough draft is complete.
