Resume Format Do's

• Use a chronological resume. List your most recent job first followed by your additional work experience in reverse chronological order, then your education.
• Use bulleted statements, not paragraphs, to describe your job duties.
• If applying by e-mail, use a simple font and send in plain text or ASCII format.

Resume Format Don'ts

• Use gimmicks. Use a professional, easy to read typeface, white or ivory bond paper, and black ink.
• List references or state: "References available on request." Interviewers assume that you will provide references when asked.
• Include an objective on your resume, unless it is written specifically for the position for which you are applying.
