Today is another day to learn a new lesson, being productive is the key to accomplish all the things you need to
do. Stay smart, focus and achieve more.
A. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW
Introduction
We know that after we graduate from college, we need to get a job that matches our skills and interests.
But there are some questions we need to answer to help us get a job like how can we market ourselves?
How can we grab the attention of an employer? How do we introduce ourselves through our skills and
qualifications and show that we have enough experience? How can I stand out from all the other
applicants? In this topic we will learn how to make a LinkedIn profile and how to make a good resume.
B. MAIN LESSON
What is a Resume?
A resume is your ticket to apply for a job. It contains everything about you that a potential employer
needs to know to help them decide if you are the right person for a position in their company. Your
resume should include your contact information such as your email and phone number, your educational
background, your previous work experience, your projects that demonstrate relevant skills for the job,
and other information that will help an employer understand what you can do. A resume is a list of and
helps you get an interview from potential employers. It is a shorter version of a Curricula Vitae (CV),
précis, or vita.
An effective resume:
1. Grabs the attention of employers and recruiters
2. Sells your strongest skills and accomplishments
3. Shows how you’re a match for a position or project
4. And most importantly, gets you a job interview!
Time management
Writing
Creativity Research
Leadership Planning
6. Customize the content of your resume based on the job you are applying for.
7. Proofread your resume. Make sure your sentences are clear and concise and there are no errors in
spelling or grammar.
Below is an example of an effective resume and its contents. This is the resume of a fresh graduate
applying for an entry-level job.
To guide you as you build your resume, here’s a template you can follow. It tells you how to complete
the essential parts of a resume. You can also go to this link to make a Google doc copy of the template:

Identify your qualifications that are essential for the job you are applying for.
Remember that your resume is just one of several hundreds that an HR officer receives. You need to
prove that you are the best person for the job. Highlight the key skills and experiences that are most
relevant to the job.
Resumes are meant to give potential employers a “snapshot” of your qualifications. You don’t need to put
everything there. A resume is a preview and is meant to get you an interview. The interview is where you
can talk about your skills and experiences in detail. This is why your resume should only be one to two
pages long.
Make sure that you know what the job qualifications are. And in your resume, showcase your skills and
experiences that match them.
As you write your resume and think about the whole process of preparing for your interview,
you need to also get to know the employer. Research about the company/ies. Read about their
company mission, vision, and values through their website or other published sources . Evaluate if you
want to join the company after learning more about them. If at all possible, learn also about your
interviewer.

developing modern business solutions using up-to-date technologies. I am knowledgeable in
programming languages such as Java and Python. I can work with other teams and have good
problem solving skills.
