Resume Aesthetics, Content, & Editing
Writing a resume is an art, not a science. There is no one correct way to formulate your resume, but there are
some best practices and standards that the UCC recommends. Stand out from the crowd with high quality
content and a clearly written, error-free document. Resumes need to be aesthetically pleasing with relevant
content and proper editing.
Aesthetics: Develop a classic, professional resume. These elements include font choice, consistency, an
appropriate amount of white space, length and overall appearance of the resume. Resume should be
professionally formatted.
Content: While aesthetic mistakes can take you out of the running for a position, the content of the resume is
what will make you stand out from the crowd. The information you choose to include in your resume should
be the most relevant to your target audience. Bullet points are intended to expand on your relevant
experience and highlight your expertise.
Editing
: Editing is a necessary component of resume writing that is often underutilized. Editing is where you
and others assure that content is accurate and the format is professional. Have as many people proofread
your resume as possible and stop by the UCC for an extra set of eyes!
• Reverse Chronological Order: Within each section on the resume, your experience should go in
reverse chronological order, meaning most recent items first.
• Bullet Points: Eliminate the pronoun “I” at the beginning of each bullet point as this is assumed.
Avoid introductory phrases such as “My duties included…” and “My responsibilities were…”. Describe
achievements, rather than listing duties, quantify outcomes whenever possible, and be sure to
highlight your proficiency in field of study and marketable skills.
• Length: Most student and new graduates should keep their resume to one page. If you have difficulty
narrowing down your resume, consider removing elements that are not closely related to your
desired field. Ask yourself, “Will this experience enhance and support my future in XYZ?”
• Margins: Make your resume visually attractive by using an appropriate amount of whitespace to
allow the reader’s eye to rest. Using 0.7 inch to 1 inch margins is standard practice.
• Font: Use a professional font that is easy to read. Times New Roman, Arial, and Calibri are good
choices. Avoid script and cursive fonts. A 10 to 12-point font size is recommended.
• Consistency: The formatting of a resume should be consistent. For example, if you choose to bold a
job title, make sure you bold every job title. Also, make sure that everything lines up neatly on the
page.
• Accuracy: Your resume, and all other job search materials, must be 100% error free. Be sure to
carefully read through your resume, checking grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Editing a resume
can always use another set of eyes; have as many people proofread as possible, and come to the UCC!
• Paper Quality: Use high quality resume paper when mailing your resume or bringing one to an
interview. Use the same paper for cover letters and thank you letters. White, ivory, or light grey are
good choices. Avoid cardstock.

Key Elements of a Successful Resume
Recommended Elements
Name and Contact Information
Include your first and last name in a large font size that emphasizes your name but is not too large. The
contact information includes phone numbers, either personal and TTU email address, city, state, and zip
code. It is not necessary to include your physical address on the resume or cover letter.
Education
All degrees are written in singular format: Bachelor of Art not Bachelors of Art
Include GPA if it is 3.0 or higher or if it is required by employer. Study Abroad can be included in this section.
Relevant Coursework, Academic Awards, and Honors can be separate sections or be included in the
Education section.
Example:
Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas May 2018
Bachelor of University Studies
Concentrations in Organizational Leadership, Health Professions, and General Business
Experience
Experience can be represented in a variety of ways. Choose the most concrete and relevant experiences for
your resume and include bullet points detailing your experiences. Relevant experience includes any related
paid or non-paid experience. This section immediately follows your Education section. Provide information
about specific activities and skills relevant to your career goal.
Observations and Volunteer Experience
Focus on experiences that demonstrate your marketable skills that transfer to your career goals (e.g. pre-
med student shadowing at a hospital).
Example:
Observation, University Medical Center, Lubbock, Texas October 2015
Other Work or Professional Experience
Employers and the selection committee will be most interested in your relevant experience; however, you
may include skills obtained through other work experiences that transfer to your desired field. For example,
sales, customer service, event planning, and fundraising are marketable skills.
Optional Elements
Additional sections that may be on the resume include volunteer experience, leadership experience, honors,
activities, special skills, relevant interests, and professional development.

Marketable Skills
Marketable skills are those that can be applied in multiple work settings. Consider incorporating them, in
addition to those specific to your intended career field, by providing examples of when you have successfully
used them in your bullets. Some examples of transferable skills include the following:
CLERICAL CREATIVE HUMAN RELATIONS PUBLIC RELATIONS RESEARCH TRAINING
Bookkeeping Designing Advising Conducting Assessing Adapting
Classifying Developing Assisting Consulting Calculating Communicating
Collecting Establishing Counseling Informing Collecting Demonstrating
Compiling Illustrating Empathizing Planning Diagnosing Enabling
Computing Imagining Facilitating Presenting Evaluating Encouraging

Interpreting Auditing Delegating Examining Drafting
Listening Balancing Directing Executing Engineering
Mediating Calculating Evaluating Planning Installing
Promoting Forecasting Leading Proving Observing
Speaking Investing Negotiating Reasoning Operating
Translating Projecting Persuading Recognizing Programming
Writing Planning Validating Repairing
Constructing Bullets
Under each position you have on your resume, list bullets that explain what you did in the position, how you
did it and the results of your actions. The skills you feel you have gained from your related experiences
should be represented through your bullets. Brainstorm each experience/position and create bullets unique
to you.
Bullet “Formula” = Action Verb + Example + Result
Use a variety of action verbs to show the range of skills you possess.
Action Verb: Collaborated
Good Bullet with Action Verb
Give specifics as to what you did at that position. These details will make you unique.
Example: Collaborated with colleagues
Better Bullet with Action Verb
State what you achieved from your example; what was the purpose of you doing what you did?
Result: Collaborated with colleagues to develop plans
Perfect Achievement Statement with Action Verb, Example and Result
Action Verb + Example + Result: Collaborated with colleagues to develop plans that effectively used
marketable resources and reduced costs by 25%

Action Verbs
Beginning each bullet with a strong action verb helps to highlight your successes and allows a reader to get a sense of
your skills by scanning the page prior to reading each individual bullet point. It is a good idea to vary the action verbs
on your resume in order to appeal to different audiences. Below is a list of verbs to get started.

Cover Letters
The cover letter accompanies the resume in the application process. It should consist of 3 or 4 very short
paragraphs (approximately 3 or 4 lines – not sentences).
Use the same format as the resume: font, font size, and margins if possible. Use the cover letter to provide
new or additional information that is not included on the resume. Utilize pronouns (I, me, my, we)
judiciously and avoid starting paragraphs with personal pronouns.
If you created a distinctive format for your name and contact information on the resume, this can be copied
and pasted to the cover letter to create your personalized letterhead or you can use business letter format
(see example).
Address the letter to a specific person or leave the salutation off completely. When you leave off the
salutation, you may present the letter as a memo with a line referencing the job title or requisition number
(Re: Job16587).
The first paragraph introduces you to the company or hiring manager. The next 1 or 2 paragraphs provide
pertinent information about you relevant to the job description and/or the needs of the company. The last
paragraph concludes with a request for an interview and reiterates your contact information.
The middle two paragraphs can be bullets or paragraphs. Bullets are easy to change, reword, or substitute
depending on the job focus. For ease of targeting the cover letter to many jobs, choose a bulleted format.
Use the middle 1 or 2 paragraphs to target the letter for each opportunity. Use the description in the job
posting to identify knowledge or skills that are important to the job or the company
Do not repeat the exact wording or information from the resume. Provide pertinent information concisely so
that the prospective employer will want to read the resume. Focus on demonstrating that you understand
the needs of the company.
Thank You Notes
The thank you letter is a short note showing appreciation to the interviewers for their time and the
opportunity to interview. In the letter, make a connection with the prospective employer by mentioning
something specific or some topic of discussion during the interview.
Write separate notes to each interviewer with different content – they will compare notes!
Send a short email thank you the same day or no later than the next day to each interviewer. A more in-
depth, handwritten or typed note should be mailed to arrive within 3 to 7 days of the interview.
In the longer thank you letter, expand on what you will contribute to the company. You may also revisit a
question from the interview that you feel you did not answer well. Do NOT state that you answered the
question incorrectly. Instead, write that you want to add information to your previous answer.
Ask permission to take notes during the interview – a couple of words only – to help you remember the
interviewers and their interests to reference in the thank you letters.
Thank you letters can be sent after meeting with an employer at a job fair, a job interview, an informational
interview, and a networking event. Everyone likes to be remembered and appreciated!

After You Graduate, Keep It Up-to-Date!
As you grow in your career, be sure to add each new job to your resume. Save your job descriptions to help
with wording. You can also refer to www.onetonline.org to review additional wording suggestions.
Drop specific references to old college activities as you replace them with leadership experience within your
job and volunteerism in the community.
After you get your first job, remove your grade point average and specific scholarships, but leave the
summary information, such as “Bachelor of Art Cum Laude”.
Remember that you can have your resume reviewed by the UCC at any time after you graduate from Texas
Tech.
