hey Don Georgevich here with job
interview tools I created this resume
writing worksheet for you as a way to
help you collect and gather up all the
information you're going to need to
write your resume you can grab a copy of
this worksheet there should be a link
below this video you can just click on
it'll take you to a page where you just
type in your email address and then I'll
send the worksheet right out to you it's
a PDF document you can print it out it's
about 17 pages long and then you can
just follow along with me I'm not gonna
read this whole thing to you but I am
just gonna walk you through it gradually
so you can see what it's supposed to
look like what you need to do and then
at the end I'm going to show you what a
sample resume looks like okay now before
you can start writing new resume you
need to gather up all your information
you need to gather your skills you need
to gather your work experience your
education all that stuff now one of the
things I highly recommend against doing
right now is grabbing any old resume
that you find out there on the internet
and then just cobble in your own from
that template you're much better off
starting from scratch and using this
worksheet and that way you'll have a
much stronger base to work from I also
have some sample resume templates that
I'll share with you later on and I'll
show you where you can download those so
the first thing you need to do is write
the resume heading now this is just as
easy as putting your name at the top of
a piece of paper basically your name
your address your phone number and your
email address I always suggest just one
phone number and one email address
don't confuse employers and give them
multiple addresses the next thing right
under your heading you're gonna have a
job objective now this is optional but I
highly recommend it a job objective is
going to communicate to employers what
type of job you're looking for and what
industry what position I think is very
very helpful to communicate this to
employers and I want you just to write
down maybe three
for different objectives that you think
will fit the type of job you're looking
for next thing it is accomplishments I
love writing accomplishments because
they really help me sell myself on to
employers when I tell them all the great
things that I've done it somehow relays
back to them that I can do that for them
too so I think those are very important
after you get your accomplishments
written I'll show you how to use those
and powerful achievement statements and
put them in a skill summary you see
before you can begin writing
accomplishments you need to write your
skills so just write down the things
that you are best at doing but just
write those down and then I want you to
write down four accomplishments so you
know four great things that you've done
with those skills and then experience
now your work experience can be this can
be from jobs that you've had whether you
got paid or not it doesn't matter I mean
work is work it's experience you have it
you earned it
it can be from internships or you know
physical jobs that you've actually had
it doesn't really matter just write down
all the experience that you've done for
other people and then under your
experience I want you to write down all
the places that you have worked and put
down everything it doesn't matter if
you're younger and just starting out you
know put down those part-time jobs you
have even if they're unrelated we'll
decide whether we want to use those
later or not if you've been working for
a while you know obviously start putting
down your experience you can go back as
far as 20 years if you want and then
we'll decide how far we want to go back
when we actually write your resume
together so very simple just put your
employment start date so your position
the employer name city state the country
which did daily duties some of the great
things you did there some of the
accomplishments and then just continue
listing all that your daily duties and
then I've got you know for employer to
and employer three and if you need more
you can keep
going and then the last thing on your
resume is your education section this is
pretty simple just write down the school
college university that you went to
where it was the degree you've got your
GPA that's optional you don't have to
put it down graduation date or expected
graduation date maybe you didn't
graduate yet I'll put down your majors
minors any honours that you achieved
while you were there
and then volunteerism anything you
volunteered for could be it could be
anything
community service maybe your church
maybe school in college maybe you
volunteered to help one of your college
professors grade papers or something I
don't know maybe you were an assistant
just a anything that you have
volunteered for that that's worthwhile
honors and awards and anything that you
have received any special honors or
recognition for the work that you've
done
write this down award one two three and
four skills take down all the skills
that that you have these could be
related to the jobs you're searching for
or not just just write everything down
for starters because sometimes you can
mean you write those unrelated skills
down some of the more related ones will
surface in your mind and like I said I'm
not gonna read all this to you you can
print this out and read it and then go
through it and then professional
associations are you a member of any
kind of certain groups you may or may
not want to list certain organizations
on your resume but for now just write
down everything that you were a member
of and we'll decide later whether we
want that to work his way or do you
resume or not and then references now
avoid that we didn't get to writing the
resume yet but make sure that you don't
put resumes or I'm sorry don't make sure
that you don't put references on your
resume they don't belong there
you want to create a separate sheet that
contains your references and it's very
simple to write your references
simple as you know professional
references for Don georgiyevich and then
right underneath that I would have you
know the name of somebody that knows me
their title company they work at their
address phone number and email address
now you don't put all the underlines and
stuff like that just put you know the
name and the title and stuff and do that
for maybe three four different people
other than that that's it that's all
this is at this point this is a resume
writing worksheet that I want you to go
through and fill out and this will help
you gather up all the information you
need to begin writing your resume and
when you download this PDF file there's
a link here where you can download some
free resume templates so you can see
what they look like but don't do that
yet
I also have a great guide here this goes
into a lot more depth it's called the
rosemary masterpiece a lot more depth in
writing your resume and now I just want
to show you a quick glimpse of what a
simple resume looks like here okay so
when you're all done this is pretty much
what your resume is going to look like
you're going to have your name at the
top this will be a chronological resume
you can have your name at the top it can
have a job objective let's reset the job
that you want you're going to list your
summary of qualifications or skills
summary however you want to title that
section and then you're going to go into
your professional experience and have
the dates that you work there the job
title and a few bullet points about the
great things you did then you're going
to do this again for your next most
recent job and so on and then you're
going to get into your education section
and that's about it that's what your
resume is going to look like when it's
done with all of your personal data on
it so I'll see you in the next video
where I'll teach you how to write your
resume heading
