Creating a well-developed resume is the first step to achieving your dream job or internship. It takes employers no longer than five seconds to decide if they are interested in working with you. Employers read countless resumes, so it is important to make your resume stand out from the rest.

Keep your resume to one page. Use only one type of font, and bold or all caps to highlight. Keep information short and bulleted. When organizing your resume, keep the most relevant information at the top, and don’t include activities from high school. Only include honors and activities relating to the position for which you are applying. Remember, less is more. Also, don’t forget to use past tense for things that have already happened.

It is especially important to use correct grammar and spelling. If an employer finds misspelled words on your resume, it usually ends up in the discard
pile. Don’t use personal pronouns (I, my, me, etc.). Don’t use complete sentences. They waste space and aren’t necessary. Instead, use an action verb
and an object. Always make your name bold and the largest piece of information. Include your permanent

 Provide your education background, including: institution, degree, major, minor and date of graduation. Unless the employer wants to know your GPA, it isn’t necessary to include it on your resume. You may want to include it if it is a 3.5 or higher.

Divide work experience into two categories: relevant experience and other experience. You may include internships and related class experience.
Stress your work accomplishments, and focus on the results achieved, not on the tasks.

Wrong: worked at AT&T

Right: created, motivated, wrote, informed, etc.

You may want to include additional section headers such as: languages, computer skills, honors and awards.

Include a reference page with at least three references. Include your reference’s name, title, organization, address, phone number and e-mail. Get permission from the person whom you want to use as a reference, and provide them with a copy of your resume and a job description.
Proofread your resume, and ask others to proofread it for you.

The bar around the corner may be selling green lager this St. Patty’s, but in Ireland the color of beer is black—as in dry, roasty stout, the Blessed Trinity being Guinness, Murphy’s, and Beamish. Poured slowly, to allow the prized creamy head to form, these three beers are as emblematic of Eire as shamrocks and Celtic crosses. Irish beer is not limited to black, though much less celebrated there is also the tradition of Irish red ales. The most popular and most widely recognized is Smithwick’s—pronounced “Smidick’s”—a toasty, faintly caramel-like ale from the brewers of Guinness, and a relatively recent arrival in the United States. Although brewed to a slightly different recipe than the stuff sold in Eire, it remains a more robust beer than the Coors-produced George Killian’s Irish Red, which is actually a lager rather than an ale. Boston’s Harpoon Brewery contributes to the city’s Irish folk with its maltaccented Hibernian Ale. The Boston Beer Company, makes the nationally available Samuel Adams Irish Red Ale. In the Southeast, people enjoy Diamond Bear Brewing Co’s Irish Red, while in the Midwest people seem to prefer a drier, more hoppy style, in Kilgubbin Red Ale (from Chicago’s Goose Island Brewing) and the toasty Irish Ale (from Kansas City’s Boulevard Brewing). The latter is a seasonal beer hoarded annually by loyalists. To the west, Denver’s Great Divide Brewing has a very popular black-beer in Saint Bridget’s Porter.
