text: Cath Anne: [00:00:23] Creating a resume and see what the daunting process. When you think of all the work experience and professional jobs that you have had, it might seem overwhelming to condense this all into one or two short pages. However when you break it down into a variety of steps it does not have to be a difficult process.
  Cath Anne: [00:00:46] Before beginning building you resume look for a template that you can use. I suggest using Microsoft Word. They have a variety of different professional looking templates. If you don’t see one there that appeals to, you can also search online. Pick a template and go from there. Use one that is both professional looking as well as uncluttered. You don’t want your resume to have too much clutter on it. And you also want it to reflect who you are as a professional, career oriented person. Remember, each resume should be tailored to the job you are applying for. Now today will discuss how to build a standard resume. However you can take that standard resume and tailor it to any job that you apply for in the future. Make sure when you do tailor your resume that you are looking at the job description that the employer provides and then you can use the language they have incorporated into the job description in your resume.
  Cath Anne: [00:01:49] Step 1 collect all of your personal and employment information. Once all your information gathered it will be much easier to write your resume. Make a list of all the information you want to use including your jobs, start and date, credentials, education, and any skills that you want to incorporate on your resume. You also need your name and contact information like your phone number and your email, as well as any additional information that you think may be required on your resume. You may want to consider incorporating references on your resume as well.
