These headings should be included in all resumes:
• This is the information at the very top of your resume and includes your name and contact information. • For a resume you are using to apply to specific job postings, it is suggested you include your full mailing address on the resume. This information is always listed at the top of the resume underneath
your name. EXAMPLE: John Doe 123 Short Street Anytown, PA 12345 412.555.5555 j.doe@email.com
Applicant Identifying Information
• If you are posting your resume to a job site (e.g., LinkedIn, Monster), you may want to include only your name, telephone number, email address and metropolitan area. EXAMPLE: John Doe Greater Pittsburgh Area 412.555.5555 j.doe@email.com • Name of the post-secondary school you attended along with the credential you earned. This must match what is on your transcript, diploma or degree. It is not necessary to include information about your high school. • Participation in student clubs, organizations, awards, GPA (above a 3.0), Dean’s List and any other activities or recognitions received during your college education. As you progress in your career, this information may be deleted from your resume as you should have professional accomplishments to add. • Job title, company name, city and state where the employer is located. (Street address is not needed on a resume unless specified in a job posting.) • Brief highlights of skills, accomplishments, awards and recognitions should be included. • Education, training, awards (commendations, medals), rank, clearances and honorable discharge. • This may be included under work history or under a separate heading. • If your education included any of these experiences, they should be included on your resume, especially if you are searching for your first professional job after completing your education. • As you progress in your career, these may be excluded from your resume as work/professional experience will be more relevant.
