Resume is summary that part of your biography that relates to work. Where did you work, when did you work, who did you work for, what did you do, what did you achieve, what did you learn and more - all this is written in the resume, which are, in general, extremely important documents for all those who are looking for or are just looking for get yourself a job. Microsoft Word gives everyone the opportunity to create their own resume using a template. However, you can do without it by doing everything using the great magic of text formatting. In this article, we will tell you about 3 methods for creating a resume in Microsoft Word, and also share information about what you should and should not include in this document.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Creating a resume from a template (Word 2003, 2007, 2010)

Method 2 of 3: Create a resume using the Resume Wizard (Word 2003)

Method 3 of 3: Create a resume from scratch

1. 1 Think about the type of resume you want to create. There are three main types of resumes: chronological, functional and CV (curriculum vitae).
2. Chronological resumes list your work experience, starting with your most recent job and ending with your very first. Your job responsibilities should be listed below your job title and time spent in that position. Generally, chronological resumes cover the last 5-10 years, although if this seems justified and useful to you, the time frame can be expanded.
3. Functional resumes first state what you can do. In other words, your skills are listed first, and only then the positions you held. It will be very useful to focus on certain skills required by the vacancy, as well as to hide the time spent without work (by the way, this is why this resume format is not liked). However, for those who want to change their field of activity, this is the most popular type of resume.
4. A CV is a detailed list of your work experience, starting with your most recent job and ending with your very first. Unlike chronological and functional resumes, which, as a rule, take no more than 2 pages, a CV operates on a different principle: the more and more detailed your experience is described, the better. A CV is often required in Europe, as well as when applying for employment in educational institutions.
5. 2 Decide how you will use your resume. It is clear that you will show it to a potential employer. The question is - how? Can you give me the original? Are you sure that such an opportunity will exist? Perhaps they will immediately scan your resume and start looking for keywords in it? It is necessary to take scanners into account - for example, they require a minimum of formatting.
6. 3 Open new file in Word.
7. 4 Please provide your contact information. This information should appear at the top of the first page of the resume, slightly different from the heading of any other subsequent page. Here you need to indicate your name, address, phone number and email.
8. You can place the header with the contact details of the first country either on a separate page or make it part of the page (but in the latter case you will have to adjust the headers of different pages so that they are different). The title of the first page is usually centered, the titles of subsequent pages are aligned to the left. Page numbers are written on the right.
9. The pages should be made in the same style, which also applies to decorative elements, for example, lines separating the title from the resume itself, etc.
10. It is better to register a separate email specifically for use in your resume. It’s better to make an email based on your first and last name (ipetrov@), positive qualities (hardworker@) or skill (techwriter@). Using emails with less formal addresses is not recommended.
11. 5 Consider what sections your resume will contain. So, there are three types of resumes, and in each of them information is organized according to its own canons. Try choosing headings first and then filling them with relevant information.
12. Purpose: This is often written at the beginning of chronological and functional summaries. The purpose is one sentence that explains what, again, the purpose of the resume is. However, lately this section has gone out of fashion. What's the point of multiplying entities, really?
13. Achievements and Qualifications: A list of key skills, qualities and outstanding achievements that demonstrate your experience/prowess/excellence as an employee. Of course, all this should be directly related to the position you want to take. It is also desirable that your achievements be tangible and begin with action verbs. For example: “saved the company >9000 million money by implementing new documentation processing regulations.”
14. Skills: This will be a separate section in functional resumes, especially in the IT field. In the case of chronological resumes, it is permissible to combine this section into a section about work experience, if the latter cannot boast of dozens of years of experience. Depending on what is more impressive - skills or work experience, it is determined which section will be the first and which will be the second.
15. Work Experience: A list of positions you have ever held, in reverse chronological order. Of course, you also need to indicate the names of the companies, as well as the date of hire and date of dismissal. In a chronological resume, dates are written first; in a functional resume, you can first indicate the position held. If you had several positions in the same company, then highlight the company name in the subtitle and list all those positions - also in reverse chronological order. Chronological resumes should include your job responsibilities and accomplishments here. Again - action verbs and more real ones! You can also include volunteer experience, especially if it is relevant to the position (or if you simply have little other experience).
16. Education: list educational institutions, which you attended/graduated from in reverse chronological order. This section is usually indicated after “work experience”. However, an exception can be made for newly graduated “young specialists”.
17. Recommendations: this section should be included if and only if recommendations are really needed, or you have them that really inspire you. In principle, nothing will stop you from collecting all the recommendations on a separate page. The phrase “recommendations are available upon request” does not need to be written.
18. 6 Start formatting your resume. When all the information has been collected, it must be put into readable form. Here are a couple of tips on this matter:
19. Don't go crazy with fonts. Choose one font - serif or sans serif. The text should be 10 or 12 point, with the exception of your name on the first page, where 14-18 point is acceptable. It is also worth highlighting the name, section headings and job titles in bold.
20. It is better to leave the margins from the edge of the page equal to those specified by default.
21. Align section headings to the left. After the title and between the content there can be one line, between the content and the title - two.
22. If your resume will not be processed by scanners looking for keywords, then feel free to use unmarked lists - for example, where you talk about your achievements and work responsibilities. It’s also not recommended to be too clever with list markers, because the text, not the marker, should attract attention. If your resume is going to be scanned, you'll have to ditch the lists - instead, just format the text as if you were using a list.
23. If your resume is a little more than 1-2 pages, you can play with the line height value and compress it to acceptable values. In addition, in this case it will be useful to look for extra empty lines.

• Update your resume as soon as you get such a reason, don’t put it off! Have you been promoted? Add this to your resume. Have you achieved an impressive result? Write about it on your resume! This way, when you're looking for a job, you won't have to waste time on your resume.
• Each position has its own resume. Moreover, each position has its own emphasis in the resume, its own order of presenting information, and even its own information. Accordingly, it would be a good idea for you to keep several versions of your resume at once. The main thing is not to get confused in them yourself.
• For those who are applying for a job related to texts, you can, by analogy with a separate page for recommendations, prepare a separate page where all your published works or a list of projects on which you have worked will be indicated.
• The title of your resume file must include your first and last name. You understand, it’s one thing to have a resume.doc file attached to an email message. Completely different - I_Ivanov_resume.doc!

Warnings

• Don’t lie on your resume and don’t forget about spelling and punctuation. A resume, after all, is the face of an employee!
