Press Release Body: Building your resume, based on a resume outline will give it
structure and flow... it provide an outline of all the things you should include in
your resume.

A resume is one of the most important documents you will ever create

First you have to decide on a particular format for your resume. The two main
formats in use today are chronological and functional format. Which one is best to
use will depend greatly on your situation.

To build your resume you can use free resume forms located on the web. This can
provide you with directions if you are having trouble building your resume. A sample
resume outline would include the following sections:

The Heading

Your resume should start with the heading. You can list your basic details so the
employer can contact you. You can include your name, address, telephone number and
e-mail address.

NAME
ADDRESS
PHONE NUMBER
EMAIL ADDRESS

Job Objective

This is an optional section of your resume outline. Here you can tell readers what
the objective of your resume is and what you are looking for.

Example:

Entry-level accounting position with medium to large public accounting firm.

The \"Body\" is the largest section of your resume outline
This is where you can enter details about your education, work experience and
additional information. The body contains:

Education

Here you can list your educational background.
Educational Background Format: College, Degree, Major, Honors, Relevant Courses
Sample Education Section: Drexel University
BA Educational Leadership, May 2000

If you have a college education, do not list your high school information. You can
also list any honors for academic excellence in this section of your resume outline.


If you are a graduating senior or looking for an internship, you can add a relevant
courses section to your resume outline.

Employment History

This is an important part of the resume. Here you can list your previous employment
history. If you are using a chronological resume format, you should list the most
recent job positions first on your resume outline.

Example:

Drug Emporium, Wayne, PA
Cashier, June to September, 2001
Supervised customer check out
Handled the cash register
Managed and stocked merchandise

You can also list relevant volunteer activities or work experience programs if you
do not have much job experience.

Achievements

If you have any special achievements you would like to announce, you can use this
section. Maybe you made a suggestion that saved your previous boss a ton of money.
You can list it in this section of your resume outline.

Special Skills

The remaining sections of the resume can include additional skills such as fluency
in a foreign language.

References

You should leave this section out altogether. References are not required at this
stage and stating that \'References are available upon request\' is assumed anyway...
so you just end up wasting valuable space!

Additional Optional Sections

You can add additional sections to your resume outline such as volunteer work,
community involvement or honors.

You also have to decide on the layout of your resume. Choose a common font and
medium range font-size, such as 12. Decide how you want to highlight the headings of
the different sections. You can use bold, italics or underline to highlight section
headings. Some people use bold and a larger font size to highlight their name on the
resume.

The last part of your resume will probably receive little focus, so if you have a
marketable skill or outstanding honor you should try to incorporate them in earlier
sections of your resume.

You can find a lot of resources on the web that can provide you with free outlines
and sample resume layouts. Usually an outline will differ if the resume is for a
recent college graduate or a long time professional. Choose a resume outline that is
specific to your career field and you can build your resume around that outline.
