how to make a college golf resume

It probably seems like you’ve spent your entire academic life adding achievements and activities to your academic resume in preparation for college. If your goal beyond high school, though, is to make it onto a college golf team roster, you should be building a unique kind of resume targeted at impressing the right College Coaches.

Ensuring that your college golf resume hits all the proper notes and is presented in a way that stands out to coaches involves a delicate combination of art and science. Therefore, we asked the experts, some of the top college golf coaches in the country, what an ideal golf resume should contain so it rises above the sea of emails coaches regularly receive.

“I love to hear from kids who are competing and moving up to higher and higher-level tournaments so they’re pushing themselves to play against better players,” said Jim Ott, Men’s Head Golf Coach at Illinois Wesleyan. “Academics are important, too, because that shows you about the kid’s discipline, organization, and responsibility. That tells you a little bit about their personality and shows how conscientious, organized, and responsible they are. You know if they’re bringing the full package together.”

The most common advice we heard from coaches was to keep your golf resume simple and concise but thorough with the right data. For example, a solid tournament resume will include scores, the par, yardage, and course rating of the golf course where each tournament was played, the size of the field, and where you placed. Hey, if you keep data on the fairways and greens that you hit in regulation and your strokes gained numbers, that’s great. But just give the coach a synopsis or average, not a round-by-round deep dive. They should be duly impressed that you’re tracking your results and trying to improve.

Coaches encourage aspiring college golfers to include EVERY score, even the highest rounds. “I want to see how young players handle adversity, so knowing how they handle a round when things aren’t going their way tells me a lot about that player’s maturity on the course and maybe even if they have leadership potential,” said Dan Wesley, Men’s Head Golf Coach at the University of Rochester.

Coaches want to see the caliber of tournaments you’re playing and the kind of competition you’re competing against, so include accurate, searchable details on the tournaments and the organizations hosting them. You might get the chance to play in front of college coaches, so it’s good to know what they’re looking for beyond how you swing and what you score. “I want to see how a player accepts good and bad shots, and I want to see how they interact with other players, rules officials, and the people running the golf tournament. The ideal candidate for our roster is a good person who is also a good player,” Wesley adds.

For all of the coaches who won’t get to see you playing in person, consider adding videos to your college golf resume. You can speak directly to the camera to give coaches a taste of your personality and your goals, and brief golf swing videos or shot highlights can also be a big asset to your resume. “We definitely tend to click on the videos, so more and more, that’s a vital part of how outreach from a potential player stands out to a coach. If they want to include a link to their golf-specific social media page, that’s informative, too,” Wesley says. “And, bear in mind, we’re looking at the golf content but we’re also looking at how you portray yourself online in what attributes of your personality and character you’re choosing to show.”

One coach says he pays attention to who the player uses as a swing coach because “if the teacher has a proven track record of helping players reach the next level, the family has done their homework and committed to a working plan to play better and progress as a competitor.”

Coaches also stress that the first part of being a student-athlete is the “student” component, so provide an up-to-date academic transcript and a concise description of what you intend to study in college. Many coaches prefer to see this information prominently displayed in the résumé so they know immediately that the candidate meets the academic requirements at their institution.

Along with your tournament record, coaches will be impressed to see that you attend coaches’ camps like CGX Top25, Preview, or Prospect Camps because it shows the willingness to learn more about the pathway to college golf and an eagerness to spend quality time with college golf coaches. Including this information on your résumé will indicate to coaches that you’re going the extra mile to prepare for thriving in the right fit on a college golf roster.

“Learning from college coaches, being able to ask them anything you ever wanted to know and seeing how a college golf practice works is incredibly valuable,” said Ott. “Then, going on the course with coaches and seeing how the practice applies to playing and scoring is huge. Between the on-course learning and the deep-dive Q&A sessions, players leave with a ton more confidence than they had when they arrived. The benefits from attending these camps can be an absolute game-changer for families.”

Other advice coaches give on building a college golf resume that will resonate with the right coach includes being careful to proofread and be sure you’re addressing the correct coach by name. If you’re sending several coaches the same basic message all at once, be sure to personalize and properly address each coach. Proper grammar, punctuation, and clarity of thought might not register as highly as hitting towering drives and being able to maneuver iron shots both ways, but good communication does show that you are academically prepared for the next level.

Coaches encourage young players to reach out when they have something significant to share with them. Don’t be shy. But, get to the point quickly and don’t undervalue the opportunities to go one-on-one with several top coaches at a CGX camp. It’s the perfect environment to ask any question you want answered by the ultimate experts. It’s also going to give you a clear impression of the kind of coaches and schools that are the best fit for your game, your personality, and goals. The education and networking opportunities you get from a camp will carry you a long way toward your dream of playing college golf and help put you on the college golf radar.

“Coaches definitely talk to other coaches, and we go into CGX camps with notes on certain players that we add to those notes throughout the camp and beyond. I might have already completed my recruiting cycle, but I’m always talking to other coaches about players, and the more we know about a player, the more we are in a position to suggest a fit that could be amazing for them.”

5 Features of a Great College Golf Resume

by Claire Richardson | Aug 17, 2021 | Recruiting Process | 0 comments

If you’re a junior golfer looking to be recruited to play golf in college, you’ll need to write a college golf resume to send to coaches.

Having a golf resume is an essential element of the recruiting process. Your resume is the place where you list all of the key “data” about yourself that allows coaches to quickly and easily determine an initial impression of whether you are a good fit for their team.

Want to make a strong first impression? Here are five features of a great college golf resume…

The numbers speak for themselves

Focus on the numbers. The phrase I like to use here is that your golf resume should be “data driven”. Be sure to include:

Weighted and unweighted GPA
SAT , ACT (and possibly PSAT scores)
Tournament results

These pieces of information are the meat and potatoes of the college golf resume. They should be listed near the top of your resume so that coaches can see it right away. Part of your goal in emailing coaches, especially early on, is to make it as easy as possible for them to assess your level of play and ability to help their team. And remember, let them assess you — don’t tell them why you know you are a good fit for their team — let the numbers do the talking. Sharing the wrong information is one of the main reasons why a coach might not be responding to your emails .

In addition to listing your tournament scores, include some information about the event — where it was played, the dates, course length, course par, and your finish in the field. Here is an example of how to list tournament scoring data on your golf resume:

Keep it short and sweet

The ideal length for a college golf resume is 1-page. Just over or under is fine, and you should feel free to play around with the margins to help keep things to a page if you are running over.

College golf coaches don’t have a lot of time to scour through resumes, and they don’t need to know everything you’ve ever accomplished. Focus on the important details that will help you get recruited, i.e. the data and most impressive non-golf accomplishments and essential details.

A golf resume should be well-organized

What you share in your college golf resume doesn’t matter if coaches can’t easily absorb the information they’re looking for. It’s essential that your resume is well-formatted and features the most important information right at the top of the page.

Give the coaches the information (data) they need to evaluate you and come to their own conclusions about your level of play.

Along these lines, make sure that your resume is free of typos, spelling errors, and formatting issues. Attention to detail goes a long way in demonstrating maturity and genuine interest.

Your resume is about more than just golf

Your tournament scores and academics should absolutely be the focus of your college golf resume, but your resume should include a lot more info beyond that!

Make your resume more personal by adding a headshot and an action shot. You should also have an entire section of your resume dedicated to non-golf activities. These might include volunteer experience, club involvement at school, awards you’ve earned, etc. Anything you think someone should know about you!

Be sure to include other athletic accomplishments, too. I once worked with a multi-sport athlete who included a link to a video of him dunking… coaches loved it!

A great resume is accompanied by a great intro email

When you initiate contact with coaches during the recruiting process, you’ll include your resume as an attachment to an email. All the work that you’ve put into writing a great college golf resume doesn’t matter if a coach doesn’t click to open your resume.

How do you increase the chances that a coach is going to take that step and click to open your resume? Write a great intro email. Here’s everything you need to know to help you write a great intro email, so that coaches want to open your college golf resume and start recruiting you.

College Recruiting

The Keys to an Effective Resume

October 13, 2017 | Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

By Mike Smith, ForeCollegeGolf

During today’s college recruiting process, it is more important than ever to have an established game plan. If you are a Junior Golfer who aspires to play college golf, you probably already know the basics of developing a resume, cover letter and swing video. However, college coaches are overwhelmed with hard copy and online resumes on a daily basis and can’t tackle the duties of recruiting by themselves. Saying that, most collegiate golf programs have a staff of one, the head coach. It’s also not uncommon to find Division III and NAIA schools where the head coach advises both the Men’s and Women’s programs. At the Division I level college programs have assistants which may offset the additional athletic duties but still take on the obligations of sorting through the countless numbers of resumes they receive. Bottom line, college coaches simply don’t have time to look at each and every detail on your resume. For this exact reason, it is crucial that you arrange your resume in the format they are looking for. Here’s a list of things they will look for and below you will find a sample resume for formatting purposes:

Graduation year
Tournament finishes and scores
Junior Golf Scoreboard or Polo Golf Ranking
Personal references, Instructor Contact Info, other points of contact
Academic profile (GPA, test scores & transcripts) and which parts
Community involvement
Leadership roles (sport or non-sport)
Fitness / other sport involvement
Swing video
Time management techniques

Keep in mind : A well written golf resume provides college coaches a quick and clear understanding of your ability to contribute, athletically and academically, to their respective golf program as soon as you enroll Freshman year.

So, is your golf resume ready for college coaches? Take a look below at ForeCollegeGolf’s sample resume.

Attached to your resume should be several letters of recommendation. High school coaches, instructors and other personal references serve as great recommendations. In addition, your recruiting profile also included an original cover letter addressed (individually) to each college coach. As you can see from the above image, all of your resume content should fit on one or two printed pages and be neatly organized. Thus, giving college coaches the ability to quickly see your successes as you mature through high school. While a few individual tournaments can be left out, the bulk of your recent successes AND failures should be included on your resume. Upcoming tournament schedules should also be included for coaches’ reference and to give them an opportunity to come watch you play.

Hope this clears up some of the confusion and frustrations you’ve been having during the recruiting process!

11 Tips for a Successful College Golf Recruiting Process

By Claire Sheldon

1) Do research early

If you wait until your junior or senior year to start thinking about college golf, you will likely have already missed out on a number of opportunities. Coaches will either already be committed to other players or it will simply be too late for you to gain the experience necessary to be a strong candidate. Start to research college golf programs, paying special attention to the roster and player bio section, early in high school. This will give you a sense of the kind of experience you need to gain by your junior year.

2) Play in the right tournaments

Part of being a great recruit means having the tournament experience. Play in tournaments that will help you develop your game and demonstrate your level of play. Most D1 programs will look for national-level tournament results. Learn more about the National High School Invitational .

3) Be proactive

4) Lead the process yourself

Coaches want to hear directly from the prospect -- not their parents, not their coach, and not a consultant. This is a preferable strategy for a few reasons… 1) it allows prospects to develop a personal relationship with coaches, which is important because prospects will have a close relationship with their college coach, 2) it allows coaches to gauge whether a prospect’s interest in genuine, and 3) it provides prospects with the opportunity to develop their communication and self-advocacy skills.

5) Write a great introductory email

Again, coaches are busy. You might be able to write a great email, but if it’s too long or doesn’t contain certain key pieces of information up front, it can easily fall into the category of “too long, didn’t read”. Your introductory email should be your “elevator pitch” -- a concise email that contains only the essentials. Send your intro email at the end of sophomore year and again at the start of junior year.

6) Let the numbers talk

Your intro email should contain several key pieces of information, including your GPA, SAT or ACT scores, and a short golf resume that includes all of your tournament scores. Rather than telling your whole story in your first email, let these numbers speak for themselves and generate initial interest.

7) Be honest

On your resume and throughout the recruiting process, be honest with coaches and with yourself. Include all of your scores on your resume (even the high ones), tell coaches what other schools you are looking at (if they ask), and honestly ask yourself what you want (and really think about the answer).

8) Share your goals

Coaches care a lot about your prior results. They care even more about your future results, when you might be playing for them. One of the best ways to demonstrate your future potential is to talk about your goals: What drives you? What do you want to achieve in college (athletically and personally)? Why? This is one of the best ways to advocate with yourself.

9) Be respectful of a coach’s time

Coaches get hundreds and of emails and requests for meetings. Every time you send an email, call, or ask to meet, you are asking a coach to give you time. Know that you are doing this, and be respectful. Demonstrating this kind of awareness goes a long way.

10) This is about you

The college golf recruiting process is about you and what you want. Try not to lose sight of your goals and target schools. It feels good when coaches reach out and express their interest, but ultimately, what you want should to be what guides you.

11) Know that perfect is unrealistic

At the end of the day, “perfect” is probably unrealistic. Look for the school that offers the “best fit” overall.

Recruiting Tips – Building a Golf Resume

Building a Golf Resume

Building your golf resume is crucial to the recruiting process, because it’s the normally the first contact with a college coach. This process can sometimes seem like a job interview, but it kind of is. Back in the day (really only 6 years ago) I was sending my resume to colleges I was interested in. Be sure to make your first contact personal, don’t just send your resume. Type up something to the coach, maybe adding a note about their most recent tournament finish. Do your research, then attach your resume to the email. Parents, you should definitely be involved in this process with your child. It’s always great to have an extra set of eyes to look for formatting, spelling, and grammatical errors.

A personal golf resume should include the following:

Contact Information
Graduating Class
Updated and Accurate tournament results
Upcoming Tournament Schedule
Rankings (if you have one)
Golf Achievements (National, State, Local, and High-School Tournaments)
Academic Achievements
Extra-Curricular Activities

Now, I’ve had some questions about if you should include bad tournament results in your resume. The answer is yes. Due to the fact that, coaches can easily google you to see that you’re leaving out information. If you have the opportunity to speak with the coach and they say “Hey, I saw you had a rough tournament at the TJGT Tour Championship.”‘ You can reply with “Yes, I had trouble with _____, ____, and ____. But I’ve been working hard at practice to get better in those areas!” This leaves you room to explain that you are aware of problem areas and how you can improve. Bingo, coaches love that.

Not only do coaches want to see your tournament scores, they love seeing junior golfers involved in the community with volunteering, other clubs or extra-curricular activities. It gives them a good sense of who you are and what you like to do. Finally, the last tip I may add would be to make sure your email address is professional. If not, take the time to make a new one. Sending emails out as “[email protected]'” isn’t the first step in the right direction with coaches.

Do Juniors Need a Golf Resume?

GENERAL INTEREST Home Articles KIDS TO COLLEGE
/ By The Junior Golfer Admin
/ 2 COMMENTS

Why should juniors have a golf resume?

Every junior player that hopes to play college golf should at some point have both a golf and an academic resume that is available to coaches. It is important to know how to go about creating a golf resume and also what the pitfalls to avoid are. A golf resume also helps juniors to clarify their goals both from a golf as well as an academic perspective. Very few players will be actively recruited by College coaches without having to provide a resume.

At what age or grade do junior golfers need to have a golf resume?

Junior golfers with college aspirations should start to develop their golf resume in their freshman year of high school and by their sophomore year should be on the radar of college coaches for their selected schools. Juniors should be actively taking steps in the college recruiting process by starting to reach out to coaches by the end of their freshman year and definitely in their sophomore year. In addition, certain regional and national tournaments will require an application to gain entry and an updated golf resume is perfect for this purpose.

For additional information on the college recruiting process refer to the following excellent resources:

The First Tee College Golf Roadmap (PDF document)
Junior Golf Scoreboard (JGS)
Ping American College Golf Guide (paid resource)
AJGA College Recruiting Information
If you really want some in depth reading, here is a PDF document of the NCAA’s Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete .
Good quick read: Do You Want to Play College Golf: Notes from a College Golf Prep Seminar .

Why have a golf resume?

The primary purpose of a golf resume is to market yourself and make it easy for coaches to get to know you. When so many players look alike based on their score, a resume can make the difference in helping them focus on you first. In addition, a golf resume is a great tool for coaches to know how to contact juniors.

What information should be included on a golf resume?

Juniors should make sure to have a golf resume that includes academic information and that can be made available to, or sent to, prospective coaches. The sole purpose of a golf resume is to provide enough information to a prospective college golf coach to enable them to decide if they are interested in finding out more about the player. A good academic record is a great selling point for aspiring college golfers.

A golf resume should not be overly detailed or elaborate but should include information in the following basic categories:

Personal information and a profile picture.
Academic information and accomplishments including graduation year, GPA, SAT or ACT results, desired major etc.
Basic details about home courses, coaches contact information, school information, names of school golf team coach and any other coaches such as physical training or mental coaches.
Golf specific information such as highlights, recent and upcoming junior golf tournaments , last 12 month results etc.

A good guideline is to provide factual information and keep it concise. One to three pages is the ideal length for a golf resume.

Many juniors looking for a sport scholarship will wonder why academics are so important in the process. First and foremost, the junior will need to actually be able to get into the school from an academic perspective to even be able to play on the golf team. Secondly, college coaches are required to maintain a certain average GPA within his/her team to avoid penalties including loss of playing / practice time and funding. Therefore, if one player on a team has a very high GPA it can pull up the average for the rest of the team - a big advantage!

Don't coaches just look at results on Junior Golf Scoreboard?

While it is true that coaches will reference tournament results that are posted on Junior Golf Scoreboard (JGS), the basic ranking information and scores that are available on JGS will not provide coaches with academic or other intangible information that they are looking for.

Additionally, a golf resume can include events that do not get reported on JGS such as USGA and AJGA one-day qualifiers, high school tournaments, and any variety of adult tournaments. It should be noted that JGS does have a popular golf resume service that will automatically update with new results that are posted on the JGS site. A one year resume subscription service on JGS is $175.

What are good examples of golf resumes?

There are various sites that provide good examples of golf resumes and golf resume templates including the following:

JGS provides a nice golf resume example.
The Tennessee Junior Golf website has 2 golf resume examples and a couple of examples of cover letters to college coaches. It also has a lot of other great information and resources for aspiring College golfers.

Should golf resumes be online or paper?

An online resume is great to have, but do not assume that coaches will "just find you" unless you are one of the top players in your year (e.g. top 100 on JGS). You should be prepared to email a link to your resume and/or email a pdf of your actual resume to potential coaches.

A pdf is a good option since you know how it will look when viewed and printed and saves coaches' time opening a link and trying to print from there. We also recommend an online resume since scores will change and therefore the resume will need to be updated over time.

Some juniors like to create a website that has all their information on it and a link to the website can simply be emailed to coaches along with a cover letter.

Should I provide a swing video to coaches?

While not required, it is recommended to provide a recent swing video. This can be done through a link to your YouTube swing video(s) or to your website that has your swing videos on it.

How should a golf resume be sent to coaches?

A personalized email is the right way to go. First identify the coaches you would like to send it to, then create your personalized email that includes some specifics about the school's program and your accomplishments.

Follow basic communication protocols like addressing the email directly to the coach by name (not to "whom it may concern"!). Demonstrate your desire to play for them. This can be done by mentioning what you like about their program, what has impressed you watching them in tournaments or what you liked when you visited their campus/practice facilities. A comment about team accomplishments or connection to the school though family alumni also helps.

Given the amount of excellent information available on the internet about the college recruiting process in general, we have intentionally tried to keep the advice in this article simple and to the point.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Writing a Golf Professional Resume

In this competitive job market, employers receive an average of 180 applications for each open position. To process these resumes, companies often rely on automated applicant tracking systems, which can sift through resumes and eliminate the least qualified applicants. If your resume is among the few that make it past these bots, it must still impress the recruiter or hiring manager. With so many applications coming in, recruiters typically give each resume only 5 seconds of their attention before deciding whether to discard it. Considering this, it's best to avoid including any distracting information on your application that could cause it to be thrown away. To help make sure your resume stands out, review the list below of what you should not include on your job application.

Not including a cover letter. A cover letter is a great way to explain why you are the best candidate for the job and why you want the position.
Using too much jargon. Hiring managers do not want to read a resume full of technical terms that they do not understand.
Omitting important details. Make sure to include your contact information, educational background, job history, and any relevant skills and experiences.
Using a generic template. Take the time to customize your resume to the job you are applying for. This will show the employer that you are serious about the position.
Spelling and grammar errors. Always double-check your resume for typos, spelling mistakes, and grammar errors.
Focusing too much on duties. Make sure to include accomplishments and successes to show the employer that you are a great candidate.
Including personal information. Avoid including any personal information such as age, marital status, or religious beliefs.

How to create a swing video for your golf resume

One of the most important parts of a college golf resume is your swing video. College coaches can’t always watch you play in person, so it’s important to showcase all parts of your game in a 1-3 minute long video.

Good Example of a swing video in a resume

Length should be 1-3 minutes (coaches don’t have a ton of time to review these)
Include putting, chipping, short/mid/long irons, and your driver as well
Use text on the screen of which club you are using
Have two views of each club (One from down the line or behind and another from head on or the side)
Try to avoid using songs or music with any profanity or that would distract the coaches attention
If you are indoors, try to avoid using a simulator, it’s important for a coach to be able to see your ball flight

Bad Example of a swing video in a resume

Length is longer than 3 minutes
Only use 1 club or focus on one area of your game than aspects
Loud music or background noise that distracts the coach from your swing
Only 1 angle is used in the video
Video is filmed in a simulator (this doesn’t give a coach a good idea of how the ball reacts off your club)
The actual footage is blurry or difficult to see
No labels on what clubs are being used

These above tips and examples can help you make sure your video will be well received by a college coach. If you are looking for additional tips on making a college golf resume be sure to check out our other articles. Websites such as Hudl or Youtube can be great platforms to share your swing with coaches

Watch our video on resume-building . In a hurry? Read our Quick Tips .

Keep it simple. Name should be 14-18pt font. Contact information should be 11-12pt font. Add links such as Github, LinkedIn, or other professional portfolio sites. Make sure that this section is located at the top of the page. Do not put it in the header section of Word/Google Docs (that is, in the top margin) to ensure readability and Applicant Tracking System (ATS) compliance.

Summary (also called the Profile) is optional. If you choose to include this, make sure that it is highly tailored to the field you are pursuing. Express your goals and value beyond “looking for a summer internship”.

The Summary should be located between your Name & Contact and your Education sections.

Arrange your Degree and University along the left margin and your expected Graduation Date and GPA (if it is above a 3.5) along the right margin. Consider putting your Degree in bold to better highlight your skills and knowledge.

Align on the left margin and make a list or use bullet point formatting to ensure Applicant Tracking System compliance. Only list coursework that clearly demonstrates your value.

Be sure to spell out the title of the class; most people outside of UTD will not recognize the course abbreviation/numbers.

Classify your skills if you have many. Otherwise, start at the left margin and make a list. As long as you can honestly speak to your ability, you can add it to your Skills section. Don’t sell yourself short!

Soft skills (for instance, communication, active listening, customer service) do not go in the Skills section. Rather, work these into your bullet points.

Experiences can be Professional or Academic. In both cases, be sure to build out the sections like you would for a job—clearly demonstrate the skills you used and the results you gained. For Academic Experience, do not simply discuss the end results of the app you built or the topic you wrote a paper about. Keep in mind that you likely will not be hired to create that exact app again, but you will be called upon to use those hard and soft skills again. Sell your skills, not the particular project.

Start with a strong action verb. Try not to repeat the same verb.

Be specific—you want the potential employer to clearly picture your skillsets and work style.

Use a model like WHO ( What you did, How you did it, Outcome /Purpose) to ensure that you are covering all the important information. See our full guide for more examples of the WHO model and for other effective models. Add metrics—quantify where possible.

Add any experiences that you believe will help showcase you as a professional. Athletics or other non-industry organizations can be added; however, be sure to prioritize industry-related content on your resume. Do not add hobbies unless you are affiliated with an organization (for instance, a UTD Baking Club would be all right to list. However, you would not want to list simply “baking”.

Awards can go close to the end of your resume. You can also consider adding scholarships as part of your Education section.

Resumes are still the most important document in your job search . Generating a professional and interesting resume isn’t easy, but there is a standard set of guidelines that you can follow. As hiring managers usually only spend a short time looking over each resume, you want to make sure that yours has a reason for them to keep reading.

If you’re looking to write a resume, rewrite a resume you already have, or are just curious about resume format, then you’ve come to the right place. This article will go through the steps to writing an excellent resume, as well as offering examples for what sections of the resume should look like.

Key Takeaways:

A resume is a short document that details your professional history in a way that tailors your experience and skill set for the particular job you’re applying for.

Resumes follow a few standard formatting practices, which hiring managers and recruiters expect to see.

Highlighting your work experience, skills, and educational background with relevant keywords can help you get past applicant tracking systems and into more interviews.

How to write a resume

Writing a resume involves using the proper formatting, writing an introduction, and adding your work experience and education. Stuffing your entire professional life into a single page resume can feel overwhelming, but remember that you’re distilling the relevant parts of your professional experience in order to catch the eye of the recruiter .

Formatting your resume. To start, use a word processor such as Microsoft Word or Google docs. Standard resume formatting calls for:

1 inch margins

10-12 point font

A professional, commonly-used font

Additionally, there are three resume formats that are commonly used. Most people should stick with a chronological resume format , but the combination resume format and functional resume format can be effective for more advanced workers or those who have significant gaps in their resume.

Write a resume header . It doesn’t matter if you have the best resume in the world if the hiring manager can’t contact you. Every single resume should include the following contact information:

Your full name. First and last.

Your phone number. Use a personal phone number, and make sure your voicemail is set up properly.

Your email address. Nothing inappropriate — [email protected] is a safe choice.

Location. City, State, Zip Code is fine, but you can include your full mailing address if you think it’s appropriate.

Your social media (optional). LinkedIn is the obvious one you’d want to include, but make sure your profile looks good. If you have an online portfolio , either on a personal blog/website or on a site like Journo Portfolio , feel free to include that here as well.

Your job title. Also optional, but can be useful for applicant tracking systems.

Resume introduction. You have four options for your resume introduction: a resume objective, summary statement, resume profile, or qualifications summary. For most job-seekers, a resume summary statement is the best choice. Regardless of which resume introduction you choose, avoid first-person pronouns (I/me/my).

Resume objective. A resume objective is the goal of your resume. Since the objective of every resume is to land a job, this is not the most original or impressive opener you can have.

On the other hand, it’s a good choice for an entry-level applicant or someone who is changing career paths . This should be a 1-3 sentence summary of why you’re motivated to get the position you’re applying for.

Who should use a resume objective: Entry-level applicants, career-changers, and recent college graduates.

Resume summary. This is the best opener for most job-seekers. As the name suggests, a resume summary highlights the most salient aspects of your resume.

It should include your current position, how many years of experience you have, some of your biggest achievements, and possibly your career goals. This should be a 1-3 sentence spiel and should include some quantifiable experiences.

Who should use a resume summary: Most job seekers; anyone with quantifiable accomplishments to emphasize and a broad range of skills.

Qualifications summary. A bullet point list (4-6 points is the sweet spot) of your qualifications for the position. It’s best used by applicants going for jobs that require a fixed skill set. It’s not a great choice for entry-level applicants who lack quantifiable achievements.

You’ll notice that a qualifications summary takes up more space than a resume objective or summary, but it can actually save the hiring manager time if you provide a bunch of valuable information right off the top.

Who should use a qualifications summary: Those applying to a job with requirements for certain skills and job-seekers who have a lot of experience in their industry and/or field.

Resume profile. A resume profile is similar to a resume summary, but goes into more detail about your accomplishments at your current or former job, while also telling the reader about your career goals. Think of a resume profile as a section that pulls all the best parts of your work experience section into one place.

Who should use a resume profile: Anyone with significant accomplishments under their belt, expertise in a niche field, or applying to a job in the same industry that they have lots of experience in.

Resume headline. Resume headlines aren’t necessary, but you can include one alongside any of the four types of resume introduction listed above. A resume headline comes between your contact information and the resume introduction of your choice.

Headlines can be used by entry-level applicants and experienced job-seekers alike. The important point is that your headline should be short and to the point. Additionally, you should use title case when writing your resume headline (capitalize words as you would for a book title).

Who should use a resume headline: Any job-seeker who wants to showcase their experience or unique value right off the bat.

Work experience. Your work experience section is the place to let hiring managers know that you have relevant experience that would allow you to handle the job you’re applying for.

If you’re using the chronological resume format, your work experience section would come after your resume summary/objective. In a funcitonal reumse, it would follow your skills section. Either way, work experience should be listed in reverse-chronological order (most recent experience at the top).

When listing your work experience, you should include all of the following information:

Job title. Start by stating the position you held at the company. These are easy cue for the hiring manager to look at and determine whether your past positions would help you succeed at their company.

Company Info. Include the name of the employer, the location where you worked, and perhaps a brief description of the company, if it isn’t a well-known name.

Dates Employed: Use the mm/yyyy format if you want to be sure that most applicant tracking systems (ATS) will pick it up. Whatever format you use for dates, be consistent, or your resume will look sloppy.

Job Description. Don’t just list your job’s responsibilities; hiring managers and recruiters already have an idea of your duties based on the job title. Instead, list your most important and impressive responsibilities/achievements at the job with bullet points. Determine which of these are most relevant for your new role based on the job description.

Ideally, each bullet should be no longer than a single line. However, two lines is acceptable, if used sparingly.

Always start with a strong action verb, followed by a quantifiable achievement and a specific duty. For example: “Developed ad campaigns for clients, increasing sales by an average of 27%.” Each job title should include 3-5 bullet points.

The order that you include this information can be changed around, as long as you are consistent throughout your resume. However, the bullet points detailing your job’s achievements should always be the last item for each entry.

It’s important that you tailor your resume’s work experience section to the job you’re applying for. We recommend reading the job description carefully and highlighting the action verbs in one color and the skills, adjectives, and job-specific nouns in a different color.

Educational background. In almost all cases, your education section should come after your professional history. If you’re a recent college graduate with limited work experience, you may choose to put your educational achievements first.

Like the section on your professional history, educational experiences should come in reverse-chronological order, with your highest level of education at the top. If you have a college degree, you don’t need to add any information about your high school experience. If you didn’t finish college, it’s okay to give a list of what credits you did complete.

Each educational experience can be listed in the following format:

Degree/Program Name College/University Name Dates attended

You don’t need to add anything else, especially if your resume is already impressive enough. But if you’re struggling to fill up the page, or you feel that aspects of your educational experience will help make you a standout, you may consider also including:

Minor. If you think it rounds out your not-exactly-relevant-to-the-job major nicely.

GPA. Only if it was 3.5 or higher. Otherwise, it’s not going to do you any favors to include this.

Honors. Dean’s List, Cum Laude, etc.

Achievements. If you wrote a killer thesis/dissertation that showcases intimate knowledge relevant to the job to which you’re applying, you can include its title and a very brief description.

Extracurricular activities. Only include if they’re relevant. For example, if you’re applying for a management position and you were president of your student government.

Certifications/Licenses. If the job you’re applying for requires/likes to see certain certifications or licenses that you have, you may include them in this section as well.

Skills section. Your impressive skills should be scattered logistically throughout your professional history section, but you should also include a section solely dedicated to highlighting your skill set . Skills can be broken down into two categories:

Hard skills are skills you learn through training and indicate expertise with a technical ability or job-specific responsibility.

Soft skills are your personality traits, interpersonal abilities, and intangible qualities that make you more effective at your job.

Your resume should have a healthy mix of hard and soft skills, as both are essential to job performance. However, since soft skills are harder to prove in the context of a resume, we recommend leaning more toward hard skills. Additionally, whenever you list a soft skill, make sure that it has a correlating item in your work experience section.

For example, if you say you are skilled in collaboration, you should mention a time when a team project was a major success somewhere in your work experience section.

Optional sections. If you still have space left or there’s more you want to show off that doesn’t quite fit in any of the above sections, you may consider adding an additional section covering one or more of the below categories:

Language . Being bilingual is always impressive, and can be included on a resume for any company. Highlight this more if your position involves liaising with international distributors and/or clients. Don’t lie about your proficiency level.

It may be best to not mention it if you’re not particularly proficient speaker . Such as if you took courses in school, or haven’t really managed to gain fluency. It can end up looking like an attempt to inflate your credentials, which you want to avoid.

Volunteer experience . Always a good thing to include. It shows you’re a team player who behaves in a way that promotes the greater good, without thought of personal gain. Especially good for entry-level candidates and those applying for jobs at a non-profit. If you have gaps in your work history, you can also consider including volunteer experiences in your work history section instead.

Personal projects. A personal blog, published works, or a portfolio of your past projects are all good things to include. They show you take initiative, enjoy and take pride in your work, and that you can handle the responsibilities of the job, if relevant.

Certifications/licenses. If you didn’t include these in your education section, this is another good place to list relevant certifications or licenses that you have.

Interests . This is largely just a space filler if your resume is light in other areas. However, if your hobbies are directly related to the job that you’re applying for, it’s not a bad idea to include them. And it might draw a recruiter’s attention if you end up sharing some of the same interests as they do.

If you have several seemingly random items that are valuable, but don’t warrant creating a whole separate section for, you can also make a section called “Additional Experience.” Here you can include all of the above categories in one place. Just make sure that each item is clear and easy for readers to understand.

Resume writing FAQ

What is a resume?

A resume is a one to two-page document that focuses on professional experience, past achievements, education and certifications, and specific skills tailored to the job you’re applying for.

Almost every job application requires a resume, and hiring managers use them as a first impression in determining which applicants get a shot at an interview.

Whether you’re fresh out of college or have 30 years of professional experience, this guide should help craft a resume that stands out from the crowd and get you one step closer to landing your dream job.

What is the format for writing a good resume?

Most people will want to use a chronological or reverse-chronological resume format. This format is compatible with most applicant tracking systems (ATS) and is easy for employers to read. Additionally it helps highlight your experience, which helps prove your qualifications.

How far back should a resume go?

A resume should go back no further than 10 to 15 years. However, it is important that all your information is relevant. Therefore, do not include job experience that is irrelevant to your application, even if it’s fewer than 10 years old. Save that information for later discussions.

Should you personalize your resume for each job?

Yes, you should personalize your resume for each job you apply to. Many recruiters use ATS now, which will search for keywords in a resume and reject those that don’t have them. That means that the skills you choose to highlight as well as your opening, such as your resume summary, should be altered to suit each job you apply to.

You don’t need to rewrite the entire resume for each job, but it does show attention to detail and initiative to make sure that your resume is customized. It also makes it more likely that you’ll get past the first step of the process.
