Work History Resume Template
Your Name
Address
Telephone Number(s)
Overview or summary, goal or objective. An appropriately brief and relevant statement of your main
qualifications and goal. This is optional and can be omitted if it simply states the obvious.
Employment – A chronological list of the jobs you have held. Format can vary, but respect these
rules:
-
Most recent position is listed first.
-
List dates continuously and consistently by month and year – or year only.
-
Account for gaps in the sequence.
-
Avoid showing each new position with the same employer as a new job. (Use a subheading
approach to avoid repeating the same information.)
-
State your job title. (Give some brief indication what that means in the organization – the
title of the person to whom you reported, for example.)
-
Describe your duties and responsibilities in terms that mean something.
(Number of people supervised and their status.)
(Volume of business generated.)
(Amount of change in indicators that measure what you do.)
-
Mention several believable, verifiable accomplishments. (Things that would be valued by
the employers you are now seeking to impress.)
-
Consolidate older and less relevant experience at the bottom of the resume.
-
Respect the one-page limit – two at the most and only if justified.
Education – List your most important degree or certificate of training first in the section which, itself,
will go either at the beginning or end of the resume, depending on the relative importance of your
work and education. Provide name of school or college, major (if it adds to the value for the job in
question), year of graduation, and province (possibly city) where college is located, depending on how
well known it is.
Comments, professional affiliations, or other concluding statements can be added if kept brief and if
they contribute to, rather than detract from, the main resume.
