Resume guide: match your experience and skills with an employer's needs
The elements of the resume are essentially the same. What determines the uniqueness is the way you put them together. Knowing where you want to go will determine the layout of your resume. THINK of an employer’s needs and LINK your skills to those needs. THINK — LINK
Position
What kind of position are you seeking? Review Job Descriptions for On-Campus Interviews, Job Postings in CES library or on employer web sites. Highlight key skills mentioned in ads to better link your skills (Technical/Functional/Personal) to the employer’s needs.
Linking
Evaluate the details from your Inventory of Experience/ Education & Skills to determine what details would best “link” your skills to an employer’s needs. Recognize that you may vary content for different employers.
