- 1). Type your name and contact information at the top of the resume. Underneath your name, add your address, phone number and email. Your name and contact information can be typed in a bold font to help it stand out.
- 2). Create an objective for your resume. Your objective may be changed slightly depending on the position for which you're applying. State the type of job you're seeking, as well as the particular setting you desire. For example, a nurse's resume might say, "Seeking a position as a full-time head nurse in a psychiatric facility that serves teens and young adults."
- 3). Add a section to list your professional experience. Include each relevant position you've had. List your title, the company or institution that employed you, the location of the job and your dates of employment.
- 4). List three to five bullet points under each position listed in your professional experience section. These bullet points should start with an actionable verb, and they should explain the main duties and responsibilities you had for each job. Try to make the responsibilities you list as relevant as possible to the job you're going after.
- 5). Add a section to list your education and training. Include all degrees you've earned, along with relevant certifications, licenses and completed training programs. For each item listed, include the affiliated institution or organization, the location and the date you earned the degree or certification, or the date you completed the program.
