How to Write a University Resume

As a junior or senior in college, many students start to write---or at least put together---their university resume. The resume is one of the most important components when it comes to getting a job. A bad resume can be the difference between a job or no job. Writing a university resume is not difficult but can be time consuming. One of the most important things to remember when writing your resume is that everything should be written correctly.

Instructions

    • 1

      Type in your contact information at the top of the page in this order:
      Name
      University
      Address---your home address, not your school address
      Phone number

    • 2

      Type your objective. Your objective should be one to two sentences about why you want to work for the company you're sending your resume to. Your objective should state what position you would like to have and why you are qualified for it.

    • 3

      Include your college information. Explain what college you're attending, expected date of graduation, the degree(s) you'll be earning, any honors you've received and your GPA. Expaining your GPA is necessary if your GPA is below a 3.0. You can also include your major GPA. If your major is relevant and higher than your general GPA, you should include it.

    • 4

      Add your work experience next. This is often a tricky part for many college students because most have not had relevant work experience. Instead, add any internships that you've held. You should include where you worked/interned, what your main tasks were and how long you were employed. It is not necessary to include salary information. If you received any special awards or achievements, do list them.

    • 5

      Include any relevant classes you think will benefit your job search. Your resume should be one whole page, no more, no less. If your resume is short, add any relevant or special classes that you've taken, including any graduate courses. Add volunteer activities, if relevant.

    • 6

      Add references at the very bottom of the resume. Any references from teachers, former employers or supervisors from volunteer activities should be used.
