Sample Resumes

This resource contains a variety of sample resumes that are appropriate for SBS majors.  Use these as a formatting guide.  Take note of how they layout the page, what they call their sections, and in what order the sections appear on the page.  Consider how they describe what the person did in their jobs, internships and activities.  Whether you have a lot of experience, or a little, these are the formats employers want you to use.  Everyone’s experience is a little different, so your resume will not match these exactly.  These are a guide.  At the top of each sample, you will find the kind of experience we think this sample gives a good description for.  Do not put this info on your resume.

Start your resume with a blank Word doc or google doc.  DO NOT USE A TEMPLATE.  Do not use Canva.  They cause problems on the recruiting end for a variety of reasons that will not help you/your application.  Once you have a draft ready, you can bring it to the SBS Pathways Center to have it reviewed by a trained peer advisor.  You should ALWAYS have someone else review your resume before you submit it for a job application. Your resume will change with every application, based on the job description. Your SBS career team can help you with targeting your resume for different jobs.
