Last week we looked at a sample cover letter. This week we’ll put together a solid resume.

To write a good resume you must first know what to put into one. Your name is always a good start. You also need to provide at least two ways to contact you—preferably three. For example, your phone number, email address, and postal address would allow the prospective employer to contact you whichever way they prefer. Remember; don’t make anything too fancy, unless you are applying for a graphic design job. Otherwise, stick with something that looks professional.

Next, you should detail your education, your degree, and your GPA (unless it screams, “Study? You mean like after class?”). Also, include any salutations, such as Cum Laude, or Summa Cum Laude, etc. You should include both your major and your minor. You could even list your separate GPAs; just make sure you also include your overall GPA if you are going to do this. Another good idea is to show the GPA scale. For instance if your school uses a 4.0 scale, and you got a 3.5, list it as 3.5/4.0. Some schools still use different scales, such as 5.0. A 3.5 loses its entire luster in a 5.0 scale.
