Reviewed by faculty and endorsed by employers, they are meant to familiarize you with the many different resume formats and styles. Our goal is to get you started and provide ideas on how to strengthen your resume. While we know the best ideas are usually imitated, it’s important that you make your resume your own. The key to getting an interview is to target your resume every time you apply for a job. You must get the employers attention within 10-20 seconds by outlining what YOU can DO for THEM. Review the section on Applicant Tracking System (ATS) found in the Undergraduate Resume Guidebook at: link.jwu.edu>jobs & internships>build your resume, to ensure your resume follows ATS rules for posting your resume to online job sites. No matter what your major, be sure to scan through all of the examples as you’re sure to find ideas in each of them to use in your own, unique resume.
This resume example is for a student who doesn’t have much work experience in the marketing field and is looking for an internship to strengthen her resume. By creating a “Marketing Skills” section, she highlights to potential employers that she has the hard skills to perform tasks, but has not yet proved them in a professional setting.
