Resumé Master

A resumé master gathers all your skills, accomplishments and experience in one document. This makes tailoring (rewriting) your resumé to fit a particular job much easier—you simply pick and choose relevant qualifications from your resumé master.

Before you can begin creating your resumé master, you need to identify your skills and accomplishments.

To create your resumé master:

• List your employment history in reverse order.
• List your skills and accomplishments.
• Group your skill sets for a functional or a combination resumé.
• Use qualifiers and quantifiers.
• Describe your education and training.
• List the organizations you belong to or volunteer for and the skills you gained as a result.
• List all the activities you’ve been involved in and add the work-related skills you’ve gained through these experiences.
