For example….
QUALIFICATIONS:
I am the Treasurer for the Democrat Committee of WSU.
I’ve been a very active member of the Greenfield Women’s Queen Association.
I took two (2) years of high school TV & Radio and Spanish.
I oversaw my high school year book for two (2) years as Annual Staff Editor.
I traveled all over the state as the 2002 Wheels of Progress Queen.
I took public speaking courses in high school and in college.
I can type 94 words per minute
I am familiar with Microsoft Word, Works and Office, and Front Page.
I’ve been in a major motion picture; Seabiscuit, and a commercial for STAND.
Can you help me reword that, or is it okay?
When writing your resume you want to stay away from the use of the word “I” – it will come across as the resume is all about you when really it’s all about the employer & their needs.
Try this….
- Treasurer for the Democrat Committee of WSU (spell out acronyms and place dates in too 2000 – 2005)
- Typing speed of 94 wpm (words per minute)
- Familiar with Microsoft Office products including Front Page.
Etc. Get the idea?
