Great. So now that we've got all the writing stuff covered, it's time for the fun part arranging and formatting your resume. Now I'm talking about arranging a resume. What I mean is which order Are we going to put each of those sections in our resume so that the hiring manager and or a robot who looks at our resume is going to quickly see that we're qualified for this job. So when it comes to arranging the sections on our resume, we have a few options. Okay, so, the first option that I'd like to highlight is for the less experienced person, we're gonna start with, obviously contact information, maybe our headline, a qualification statement, and then you're going to jump right in with education, followed by your work experience, and your volunteer experience intermingled.

Then you'll add any technical skills, awards and certifications, and any other additional information that you want to add. Now this works well Because you may not have as much work experience, so greater to show the education that you have in any volunteer experience tied in with that as well. If you're more experienced, same kind of starting point, contact information, headline qualification statement. And then we're going to dive straight into the work experience. Because when you're on the more experienced end, that's going to be more important than what your education is. Now, this is all context specific, because if you're applying for a job at, for example, university, then you're still going to want to include the education at the top because you know, that's a top value of the place that you're applying to.

So it's all it's all really up to you to decide. But these are just some of the standard arrangements that people use. And then in a technical job, this is where, you know, maybe we want to highlight our technical skills first. Then the work experience, education and certifications kind of work in after that. certifications that are relevant to Position obviously are a higher priority. But these, it's important to know these are just a few of the options.

If something makes more sense to you in terms of arranging your resume, then do it your way. But this is just, these are some options for you. So those are some of the orders in which you could arrange the sections of your resume. Now, there's many combinations you could try. And those are just a few that have worked for me. Now, when we talk about arranging content within each section, I almost always recommend going with reverse chronological which is, you know, putting the the most recent thing at the top and working backwards.

However, there's one exception that I've used, which I'll show you right now. Let's say that the job you're doing right now is not the most relevant to the position you're applying to. We're going to do something a little bit different with our headings. We're going to call this one relevant professional experience. Then we're going to add in that most relevant experience that we want to highlight. And then what because we still want to show our current job, we're going to use another section called additional professional experience.

And that's where we can put in whatever it is we're doing now. So you see, if you look at the dates, we have September to present in this lower position, the women's volleyball coach, and that kind of shows that we are still working now. But they're gonna get to that after they see that we have some very relevant social media marketing experience. So that's just a trick that you can use if you have moved away from a particular line of work and you're looking to get back into it and you want to make sure that you appear as a, as someone who has the relevant skills and experience for the job. you're applying to.
