A resume is a summary of your educational and professional experience. The resume and the letter of inquiry or cover letter complement each other. The resume is your work data; the letter that accompanies it is a sales pitch telling the prospective employer how and why your experiences will be useful.
The content and the order in which a resume is arranged depend on you and your experiences. Employers scan rapidly, therefore, you should put the most important, impressive, eye-catching information first, in an easy-to-read format.
Your resume should also be grammatically correct and perfectly spelled; do not rely on spell check!
You should limit your resume to one page unless you have significant experience. Avoid using resume templates because they are very difficult to change.

Remember these are only examples. There are many ways to create a resume. For more examples and help, see an advisor in the Career Center.

We acknowledge and are mindful that Chico State stands on lands that were originally occupied by the first people of this area, Mechoopda, and we recognize their distinctive spiritual relationship with this land, the flora, the fauna, and the waters that run through campus. We are humbled that our campus resides upon sacred lands that since time immemorial have sustained the Mechoopda people and continue to do so today.
