Question

Objective:

This activity has the purpose of helping students organize ideas before writing a resume.

Student Instructions:

1. Create proper phrases giving examples of how would you write the experience in your résumé for electronics engineers (with or without experience)

Answer 1

With experience:

• Start with your current or most recent job.
• Follow it with your previous position and the one before that, and so on. In each entry, include your position name, the company, and the dates worked.
• Quantify whenever possible. Don’t say you “significantly reduced manufacturing time.” Say how much exactly. Numbers pop!
• Use action verbs throughout your work experience section. “Coordinated,” “created,” “reviewed,” not “responsible for coordinating, creating, and reviewing.”
• At the bottom, add a “Key achievement” subsection where you show off your most impressive success.
• Pick phrases from the job ad, and refer to them in your work experience section. List relevant duties, not every single task you’ve performed.

Without Experience:

• Add a heading statement.
• Stick to a chronological resume format.
• Include necessary technical details.
• Highlight your achievements and accomplishments.
• Underline your education and relevant skills.
• Include internships, extracurricular activities and volunteer work.
• Use resume keywords and customize your resume.
