Resume Writing Process

I've written a resume before for a previous class so this wasn't too complicated for me. I chose to write a functional resume considering I have no previous job experience other than some random babysitting. I included particular achievements, classes, and similar things. The resume was very easy to write and I hope that the personal statement will be as well.

Resumes (freewriting)

Resumes are a very important part of life. Without them you'll have a hard time trying to find even the simplest of jobs. In my experience I have seen that it helps greatly to have resumes planned out. It may help to have a portfolio of things that you have done that may be worth noting to include in your resume. It also helps to have some reference numbers. Use people that know you well enough to talk about you. Also it is really important not to lie on a resume. The truth will come out sooner or later and it will just hurt your chances even more. If you keep all of these things in mind you will be on your way to a decent resume.
