Overview: This workshop is designed to guide participants, particularly senior students, to develop or further refine a compelling resume. Through participating in guided activities and learning other tips, students take time to recall and translate their Bonner service experiences (as well as education, training, and reflection) into resumes. While all college and university campuses have career services offices that do provide this type of expertise, at times students in the Bonner Program are not familiarized with how best to share their relevant service experiences in professional language. This workshop covers how to do so.

guided to look at some examples of Bonner Alumni on LinkedIn.

Key Words: Career development; career preparation; reflection; resume writing; writing skills; professional experience

8 Themes: Fourth Year - Semester 7

Bonner Developmental Connections: This workshop is designed for the final year and should be

offered to students as they are preparing to look for employment or graduate school opportunities after graduation. It is part of the 8 Themes Curriculum for the fall.

Bonner/VALUE Rubric Outcomes: This workshop will help students develop their

Communication skills to the highest levels (of adapting language) by asking them to practice translating their service work into professional experiences to a variety of audiences. Additionally, it can promote Integrative Learning as students reflect across their four years.

Workshop Learning Outcomes:

• This session supports students to reflect on and translate their full college experience, especially the many aspects of the Bonner Program, into their professional experience and learning as presented on a resume.

• The session guides students through exercises that develop their writing and communication skills.

• The workshop will also help students in their career preparation and in managing the demands of seeking post-graduate opportunities.

Materials:

• Have students bring a laptop or do the workshop in a computer lab, if possible. However, the activities include worksheets and can be done in hand as well.

• Bring copies of resumes from graduates from your campus, if possible, especially Bonner Alumni.

• Print and copy the long handout for all students. Alternatively, you can email it to them in advance. Download the handouts only on the Bonner Wiki.

How to Prepare:

Read through the full guide. Gather examples (paper or electronically) of resumes and resume writing materials from your Career Services office to supplement the materials. Gather examples from other Bonner students or graduates that do a great job with articulating one’s full experience. “Bonner” can be more than a bullet point on the bottom of one’s resume. The attached handouts (long packet) has examples and can also be emailed to seniors if you want to save paper! Here are some other excellent examples that are available online from other schools also. These links take you to materials that also include many types of resumes, examples by disciplines, videos, cover letters, and other tips. The last link takes you to the Bonner Alumni group on LinkedIn, which students may join. The workshop involves time for students to search it and see other alumni’s online resumes.

• Rhodes College: https://www.rhodes.edu/sites/default/files/CARSVS_Guide_2014.pdf

• Stanford University: https://education.scripps.edu/_files/pdfs/postdoctoral/resumes-cover-letters-stanford.pdf (see Public Service resume and other examples)

• University of North Carolina: https://careers.unc.edu/students/resumes-and-letters/resumes-and-cvs (packet of samples, tips, etc.)

• LinkedIn Bonner Alumni: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/86257/

If possible, involve Bonner Alumni or other graduates to share their examples and guidance. Additionally, consider asking someone from the Career Services office to collaborate with you and to attend. That person may also want to attend the follow-up session “Resume Review” with senior Bonners to provide them with direct feedback.

How to Do/Brief Outline:

This 1-hour workshop has the following parts, half of which involves work time. If you have longer, add to more time for students to work on their resumes, or add additional alumni and other expert speakers.

1) Opening Remarks and Examples suggested time 15 minutes

Bonner Curriculum: Writing a Resume page �3

2) Reviewing Major Components suggested time 10 minutes 3) Translating Your Bonner Experience suggested time 25 minutes 4) Pair Share, Search, Next Steps suggested time 10 minutes

OUTLINE Part 1) Opening Remarks and Examples Suggested time: 15 minutes

For this activity, you will want to gather and circulate copies of exemplary or example resumes to the senior students. Talk with your Career Services about this. Point out that this guide’s handouts contain a few examples of Bonner student resumes from the Bonner Network that you may also use. This is particularly relevant as a key theme in this workshop is to maximize one’s Bonner experience in several places on one’s resume.

Start by covering these talking points and passing out examples as you cover particular pieces. You can add other resumes from your Career Services (students, alumni, others).

Quickly introduce the following about what is a resume. This text is on the handout, so you can also digest it.

At best, a resume is a great marketing tool that you can present an employer who is interested in what you can contribute to their organization or a graduate school admissions office. It is not a laundry list of all past experiences. Rather, it is a defined and focused listing of experiences and skills that illustrate why you are a great fit for a particular position, organization, or program.

Yet, when you are creating a resume with limited professional experience (as an undergraduate) and lots of volunteer experience, producing a clear, defined resume that reveals important learned skills can be difficult. This guide is a start in helping you understand your past volunteer, as well as work experience, and how to best accentuate it in your marketing tool, your resume.

Next present the types of resumes, providing examples of each. Some are included in the handout.

• Chronological Resume: A chronological resume lists experiences from the most recent to the least. It is simple, quick to scan, and employers seem to like it for this reason.

• Functional Resume: A functional resume is a resume arranged around certain skills, not on any chronological order. This style may be more difficult to keep organized and clear. However, this style is useful if you work to make it very accessible. Functional resumes are also good if you’ve had frequent changes of jobs, gaps in time, consulting or other project-based experiences.

• Electronic Resume: An electronic resume is a resume that is either chronological or functional that is easily scanned and entered into a resume database that employers can easily search. As a Bonner, you should create an electronic resume on LinkedIn. We’ll walk through a few examples. Some employers may also ask you to submit an electronic resume in their platform.

• Curriculum Vitae Resume: A curriculum vitae resume is a detailed, lengthy and structured listing of education, publications, projects, awards and work history. This type is most used by academics and scientists. You are not likely to have one at this time, but you may have one later if you pursue graduate school and may want to start looking at examples.

Part 2) Reviewing Major Components Suggested time: 10 minutes

The major section of this workshop is to provide students with work time on their resume. Have them open their resumes on their computers or look at a printed copy. At this stage of the program (as seniors), students should have a working resume to revisit and revise.

Have students focus on looking at each section and whether they have fully captured their Bonner and undergraduate experience. It can be valuable to examine ways to improve that. Start by reviewing the next portion of the handout, articulating the places where Bonner might show up. Then show the examples. This digest (which builds on but is slightly different text than the handout) can be used as talking points.

Objective statement This may not relate to Bonner, but it is likely that your experience (and our training, like the Ikigai workshop) has helped you articulate an objective or

purpose. Be specific! For instance, don’t just say “get a job experience as a researcher.” You can say, “build on community engaged research experience on hunger to work on related policies for a nonprofit or governmental organization.”

Education

• Your Bonner capstone and any relevant coursework or projects (from it or for the position) can be included.

Experience - Your Bonner Experience can show up several ways!

• Each significant Bonner position (school year and summer) can be listed as a separate professional experience and/or internship, with the name of the organization and the role at it. If necessary, embellish your title! Since Bonner is a leadership experience, you should also include Bonner Program as a position with a description of your program. See examples here. Add significant leadership roles (Class Representative, Congress Representative, Senior Intern, etc. explaining them).

Community Involvement

• Short-term service experiences, like trips (First Year Trip, Sophomore Exchange), clubs, organizations, and extracurricular involvement can be listed here. Even if you did it in conjunction with Bonner, it can be listed as a professional experience. For instance “Service Immersion Trip to New York, NY. Visited with organizations like Housing for the Homeless. Learned about urban poverty. Interviewed nonprofit and business leaders.”

Awards and accomplishments

• Being a part of the Bonner Program is an honor and award, so it can be mentioned both here and in Experience. Additionally, other specific leadership roles (i.e., Media Intern, Junior Class Representative, Senior Intern) can be named. Listing other recognitions shows employers the quality of your work, your leadership, and dedication to projects.

Publications and Presentations

• You can use other Bonner experiences here, naming the specific conference. For instance, “Presented at ‘With and Not For: Annual Summer Leadership Institute at Wagner College. Planned and led workshop on

international trip for students in Nicaragua. Conference attended by undergraduates from more than 65 colleges in a national network.”

Part 3) Translating Your Bonner Experience Suggested time: 25 minutes

Now, direct students to look at the examples in the handout of Jane Bonner (resume of a real Bonner student but renamed) and Elvis Diaz (LinkedIn Electronic Resume of a Bonner Alum).

Turn their attention to the next part of the handout, which is a worksheet (in this guide on pages 16-22). Walk through the headings of the worksheet and its 6 steps, which guide students to translate their experience into professional language. You can gauge how much direction and walking through together you want to do, or just let students read and work on their own.

Then, give students time to actually work on this. If necessary, they can pull up their BWBRS records and really think about if they have fully captured their various

• School Year Positions • Summer Positions • Internships • Related Academic or Research Experience • Trainings • Trips • Conferences • Leadership Roles Part 4) Pair Share, Search, Next Steps Suggested time: 10 minutes

After the time has elapsed, call the attention of the seniors together again. If you want, invite students to pair up and share what they have worked on.

Additionally, have them visit the link for the LinkedIn Alumni group at https://www.linkedin.com/groups/86257/. Encourage students to get familiar with LinkedIn, if they are not on it, as a tool for career and professional networking. Explain that students can join the group (after they have completed their

LinkedIn Profile). As Bonners, they can join this group and connect with other alumni and professional staff across a national network. This is a good way to build one’s “social capital.” Additionally, students may want to research it briefly to find other alumni who have pursued careers that interest them. This might give them some ideas for how to proceed, as well as articulate their own experience. Some students may even want to reach out to a person to ask for information or a phone information interview.

Finally, close this session with next steps. In particular, give a date for the follow-up workshop, the “Through Evaluators’ Eyes: Senior Resume Review.” Explain that students should bring a completed resume to that session. It will consist of networking rounds with peers, staff, faculty, alumni, partners and other guests. During that time, the student can get real feedback and help with his or her resume. Explain how to reach out for support. Thank everyone and end on an upbeat note!

Introduction

At best, a resume is a great marketing tool that you can present an employer who is interested in what you can contribute to their organization or a graduate school admissions office. It is not a laundry list of all past experiences. Rather, it is a defined and focused listing of experiences and skills that illustrate why you are a great fit for a particular position, organization, or program.

Yet, when you are creating a resume with limited professional experience (as an undergraduate) and lots of volunteer experience, producing a clear, defined resume that reveals important learned skills can be difficult. This guide is a start in helping you understand your past volunteer, as well as work experience, and how to best accentuate it in your own marketing tool, your resume. Types of Resumes The best way to figure out what type of resume you need is through contacting your Career Service office on campus. Your office can provide you with examples and advice. You can also find excellent examples from other campuses online. But, resumes generally fall into these types:

Chronological Resume: A chronological resume lists experiences from the most recent to the least. It is simple, quick to scan, and employers seem to like it for this reason.

Functional Resume: A functional resume is a resume arranged around certain skills, not on any chronological order. This style may be more difficult to keep organized and clear. However, this style is useful if you work to make it very accessible. Functional resumes are also good if you’ve had frequent changes of jobs, gaps in time, consulting or other project-based experiences.

electronic resume on LinkedIn. We’ll walk through a few examples. Some employers may also ask you to submit an electronic resume in their platform.

Curriculum Vitae Resume: A curriculum vitae resume is a detailed, lengthy and structured listing of education, publications, projects, awards and work history. This type is most used by academics and scientists. You are not likely to have one at this time, but you may have one later if you pursue graduate school and may want to start looking at examples.

General Information

To begin developing a resume, it is important to have some focus in relation to why you are developing a resume, including a potential job you are applying to or what type of organization you want to work for. To help establish this focus, answer the following questions: 1. What kind of job, internship, or position am I applying for? Here, you may

want to get advice from Career Services or someone in that field about specific expectations.

2. What kind of skills does this position require? 3. What special skills do I have that will help me get the position? 4. What are my strengths? Weaknesses? 5. What are my greatest accomplishments in my past work and volunteer

experience?

Resume Content The Basics: When constructing, you should try to answer three basic questions:

! Who am I? Your resume should be an inclusive snapshot of who you are— what you are committed to, the issues or organizations you have been engaged in, your education and training, and where your hope that your future professional path takes you. It defines you for an employer.

! What have I done? Though it may seem like it, a resume should never be just a list of past and present positions, interests, and other activities. It is a personal marketing tool that showcases your significant positions, recognitions, awards, interests, and overall achievements. Each

item listed in your resume should demonstrate significant skills mastered, goals met, and should show an employer that you have actively sought opportunities to increase skills, knowledge, and general competency.

! What can I do for my potential employer? Perhaps the key consideration in creating a resume comes from the employer, who only wants to know what you can do for him or her. Initially, the first way that is demonstrated is through your resume (one of the last ways is an interview.) The best way to answer this question is by knowing what a position requires and building the resume around the needed set of skills.

Resume Components and Sections

Objective statement Though optional, a concise one-sentence statement can focus your resume around a purpose and demonstrate your goals to employers.

Education

• Make sure to include any degrees, where and when you attended; major, minor, or concentration; certification; and academic awards and honors. Additionally, you may want to list specific relevant coursework or other training that corresponds with the position, organization, or graduate school. You also want to list any significant research, writing, or project experience, like a capstone. This should include the name of the project and a caption about what it did or learned.

Experience

• Part time jobs, leadership experiences on campus, and internships would be included in this section. Additionally, each significant Bonner position can be listed as a professional experience, with the name of the organization and the role at it. Since Bonner is a leadership experience, you should also include Bonner Program as a position with a description of your program.

Community Involvement

• Additionally, other short-term service experiences, like trips (First Year Trip, Sophomore Exchange), clubs, organizations, and extracurricular

Bonner Curriculum: Writing a Resume page �11

Page 12: Writing a Resume That Fully Reflects Your Experiencebonner.pbworks.com/w/file/fetch/130234461/BonCur2018...• Print and copy the long handout for all students. Alternatively, you

involvement can be listed here. Even if you did it in conjunction with Bonner, it can be listed as a professional experience. For instance “Service Immersion Trip to New York, NY. Visited with organizations like Housing for the Homeless. Learned about urban poverty. Interviewed nonprofit and business leaders.”

Awards and accomplishments

• Being a part of the Bonner Program is an honor itself, so it can be mentioned both here and in Experience. Additionally, other specific leadership roles (i.e., Media Intern, Junior Class Representative, Senior Intern) can be named. Listing other recognitions shows employers the quality of your work, your leadership, and dedication to projects.

Publications and Presentations

• Employers and admissions officers can evaluate your communication skills and may be impressed by presentations at conferences or articles you have authored outside of normal class work. Again, you can use other Bonner experiences here, naming the specific conference. For instance, “Presented at ‘With and Not For: Annual Summer Leadership Institute at Wagner College. Planned and led workshop on international trip for students in Nicaragua. Conference attended by undergraduates from more than 65 colleges in a national network.”

Additional Skills and InterestsThis section demonstrates skills you may have that do not fit into other parts of your resume, such as: • Languages (proficient in Spanish) • Computer proficiencies (Graphic Design, Social Media, Facebook) • Extracurricular activities (i.e., dance, photography, cooking, or other

interests that make you seem well rounded)

ReferencesWhile some individuals will advise students to save individual references for when contacted, some people prefer to list key contacts (like a Bonner Director or Faculty Advisor) on the resume. Doing so can help reviewers take you and your connections more seriously.

Exercise: Revisit Your Full Professional Experience

Translating Your Bonner and Service Work Into Professional Experience

When actually preparing to write a resume, it can be difficult to remember exactly what positions you have had during high school and college and exactly what you accomplished in these positions. So, take time to check your BWBRS. Also, brainstorm past positions and present roles. Use the following chart and these four questions to start translating your service experiences into compelling professional language. This worksheet and examples will guide you:

! What was my position? ! What was my role? ! How did I fulfill my role? ! What was the result? Here, try to be as specific as you can.

My Position Role How did I fulfill my role Result

ExampleSoup Kitchen Volunteer

Served meals to the homeless, helped guests to connect with resources

Volunteered 10 hrs/wk, worked with kitchen director to identify resources

20 people got housing, 5 got jobs, 200 were served food daily. Learned to prepare meals for large numbers, practiced advocacy skills.

Experience and Language

Taking work and volunteer experiences and framing them appropriately within a document like a resume takes some attention and practice. The following sub-points will provide a working model to convert your experiences into resume language. First consider the characteristics of resume writing style.

When describing work experience: ! Use brief, direct language and avoid unnecessary words ! Use short paragraphs, ranging 1- 4 sentences ! Begin each sentence with powerful action verbs ! Make it is free from grammatical, punctuation, spelling, and

typographical errors

To begin creating a description of work or volunteer description, refer to a brainstormed experience from the chart in part B section 3. 1. First, write out everything that you brainstormed as your role, how you

fulfilled your role, and results as exemplified below:

Example: " Served meals to the homeless, helped guests to connect with resources. " Volunteered 10 hrs/wk, worked with kitchen director to identify resources. " Several people got housing, jobs, food. " Learned to prepare meals for large numbers, practiced advocacy skills.

Your list:

2. Second, identify each active verb in your list and create a new list of verbs from your description:

Example: " Served meals to the homeless, helped guests to connect with resources " Volunteered 10 hrs/wk, worked with kitchen director to identify resources. " Several people got housing, jobs, food. learned to prepare meals for large

numbers, practiced advocacy skills.

Verbs Served Helped Volunteered Worked Learned Prepare Practiced

3. Third, in your description, identify and create another list of individuals or groups that you interacted with as part of fulfilling your role:

Example: " Served meals to the homeless, helped guests to connect with resources " Volunteered 10 hrs/wk, worked with kitchen director to identify " Resources. several people got housing, jobs, food. " Learned to prepare meals for large numbers, practiced advocacy skills.

Individuals/groups Homeless Guests Kitchen director people

Your list:

4. Fourth, identify the results or outcomes of your role:

Example: " Served meals to the homeless, helped guests to connect with resources " Volunteered 10 hrs/wk, worked with kitchen director to identify " Resources. " Several people got housing, jobs, food. Learned to prepare meals for large

numbers, practiced advocacy skills.

Results Several people got housing, jobs, food. Learned to prepare meals for large numbers Practiced advocacy skills

Your list:

5. Fifth, edit your list into 3 columns specifying: verbs, individuals/groups, results. The goal now is to use the columns as a starting point to begin drafting the sentences that will compose your work experiences for this particular position. Keep in mind the characteristics of a resume writing style described at the beginning of this section.

Moreover, use the columns to create short sentences that have three parts: a strong action verb, who or what was involved, and the result.

Example:

Verbs Served Helped Volunteered Worked Learned Prepare Practiced

Sentences: Helped kitchen director prepare meals for guests action verb who/what involved results

Practiced advocacy skills in locating resources for guests action verb who/what involved results Using the model above, draft 2-5 sample sentences on the next page. Remember, you can do this for each significant Bonner position (school year, summer internships, capstones, etc.)

6. Sixth, review and improve each of your sentences. Remember, it is important that each sentence begins with the appropriate verb that accurately describes the experience as directly and actively as possible.

Questions to consider when revising sentences:

! Does my action verb accurately describe my experience?

! Is the sentence clear and direct?

Example: Worked with homeless guests to find housing, jobs, and food.

Questions: " Does “worked” in the first sentence strong enough to describe my role in

helping homeless guests find housing, jobs, and food? If not, what word does?

" Is it clear and direct? Could there be any questions concerning what I did?

Using the model above, revise your sentences (consult Appendix A for action verb listings.)

* Labeling the Experience

Now that you have accomplished the task of developing your job description, its time to put the finishing it, which includes:

" The organization you worked with " The title of your position " Where the organization is located (city, state) " Length of time you held the position (earliest month/year to latest or

present.)

Example

Now, draft your final description for you role:

* Next Steps

Now, you have all the info (and models) you will need to begin draft your resume. Schedule an appointment with your career services office to choose the right resume style for your and to continue revising your experience.

Other Elements

Academic Studies and Learning

As a graduating college student, your education is an important part of your resume. You may want to include not only your Major (Minors, Certificates, etc.) but also specific coursework that may be relevant to the job, organization, or graduate school. You can also include notes about research (including community engaged research or capstones), papers, and conferences attended. As a Bonner, you participated in many hours of professional training. This, too, can be notated in your education area or within specific positions. For instance, you might note: Trained in leadership, diversity and inclusion issues, project management, public speaking, policy research, and facilitation.

Use the space following to brainstorm how you will capture your academic work and learning.

Awards and Accomplishments
