Responsibilities Producing Your Re

Responsibilities
Producing Your Resume:
When you are ready to type a draft on the computer, use a software package with flexibility, such as Microsoft Word. However, any word processing package you are familiar with is fine. Save your work on disk so you can easily make revisions. Use a standard type font (such as Times New Roman). Keep most text at 12-point size or 11-point size.
Editing and critiquing your resume: When you complete a final draft of your resume, let a friend or co-worker review the content and comment on the appearance. You can drop off your resume or schedule an appointment for critiquing at the Student Development office, located in room 123 of Linn Hall.
References:
Type your references on a separate page with the heading References. Bring your reference list with you in case it is requested during an interview. Your list should include the name, title, address and phone number of three to five people who have direct knowledge of your work skills and abilities. Some ads request professional references; some ask for personal. If the ad does not specify, list professional references. If you choose to include personal references, designate which references are professional and which are personal.
Contact the people on your list to obtain their permission to serve as a reference. Contacting your references prepares them for an employer’s call so they can speak confidently, positively and knowledgeably about your performance. When talking with your references, refresh their memories about your accomplishments and the skills you displayed at work. Let them know which skills you would like them to stress to prospective employers.
