Instructions: Please fill in every category as fully as possible. Just use your own words ... don't worry about grammar, punctuation, or spelling (except for the names of people, companies, and places). We'll translate the information you provide into a powerful, effective résumé that will command the attention of prospective employers.

Remember, the information you provide will help us to get to know you and this will help us produce a more effective résumé. We may not use all the information on the final résumé, but it's best if you provide as much detail as possible. We'll sort out what belongs on the résumé. If you have an old résumé, you can fax it to us at 1-513-598-9220.

All the information you provide will be held in the strictest of confidence.

Objective
It is important for us to know what type of job you are seeking. If the "ideal job" were to become available, how would you describe it? Write a brief description of the type of work you are seeking. Be sure to include factors that are important to you (for example, challenge, opportunity to be creative, etc.) This will help us to write your résumé in a way that will be more attractive to employers hiring for the types of positions you describe. (If possible, fax us copies of employment ads that are of interest to you.)

Strengths and Skills
What do you feel are the most important skills you can offer an employer? These can be tangible (e.g., knowing how to operate a forklift), or intangible skills (e.g., effective negotiating skills). For example, list equipment that you know how to set up, operate, or maintain ... problem solving/troubleshooting ... oral/written communication skills ... leadership qualities ... ability to organize, plan, schedule effectively ... data entry, typing, shorthand skills ... time management ... ability to teach and/or motivate others ... etc. (This section is very important. List as many skills/strengths as you can; this will help us show prospective employers how you stand out from the crowd.)

In the following section, indicate your your level of proficiency. Leave blank if the skill does not apply.

Specialized Training List any other relevant courses, seminars, workshops, in-services, on-the-job training (such as computer training), continuing education units (CEUs), etc.

Work Experience

Experience List all your work experience (including volunteer work, if you wish). List each position, starting with your present or most recent, and work in reverse chronological order. Give the most emphasis to those jobs that are related to your objective. Briefly describe less relevant positions. In most cases, jobs held more than 10-15 years ago do not have to be described in detail. Listing the employer, your job title, and dates of employment is usually sufficient. If you have concerns about gaps in employment, age discrimination, lack of formal education, or other problems, let us know. There are ways to develop your résumé so that it minimizes "deficiencies" and optimizes your strengths.

For example, "Started as file clerk, promoted after six months to secretary where duties included ..." or, "Started as shipping clerk, where duties included packing perishable food products and loading trucks. Transferred to receiving area in May 1999 where responsibilities included inventory control and ..."

Achievements Your achievements will make your résumé stand out from the crowd. Most résumés merely list job descriptions. Only a few will show achievements. Think about things you have done "above and beyond" the normal job requirements. An achievement-oriented résumé is essential in conveying your value to prospective employers. Whenever possible, try to quantify your achievements by using dollar figures, percentages, or other statistics. (Examples of achievement: Promoted with first six months. Salesperson of the Week/Month/Year. Top 10% in sales out of 60 reps. Reorganized inventory/ordering system saving company $5,000 in first year. Opened five major corporate accounts in two months. Wrote procedures manual. Helped implement new computer system. Trained new employees.) The idea is to show the prospective employer how valuable you were to your other companies and how much value you could bring to the job.
