How do I do a resume? A resume is a snapshot of your qualifications and experience and is often used in the job application process. In addition, it helps you keep up with all your skills, education, interested, and experience. The easiest way to do one is to use the template in MSWord (or similar program). Here are the instructions for Word: 1. When you first open MSWord, or when you use the pull-down menu for a “New” document (not the little toolbar icon), you get some choices at the right. 2. Choose “On my computer…” under Templates 3. Click on “Other documents.” 4. Choose “Resume Wizard.” 5. Choose the type of resume design you want and proceed with an entry-level resume. Answer each question and fill in the blanks as best you can. Your advisor will help you and so will I. Sample attached:
