Where do I start?

Think about your past experiences in education and work, and decide if you want to focus on your work history or the skills you gained through your education. 

Choose a template to start, either chronological or functional, and remember that you can use the resume rubric below as a guide for what to include in your resume.

RESUME RUBRIC

A chronological resume is a straightforward document that lists your work history in reverse order, starting with your most recent job, highlighting your career progression over time.
