Writing a Resume With Diverse Work Experience

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Laura Turner and today I'm going to talk with you about how to create a resume with diverse work experience. Now, if you've had many different jobs in the past and you have many different skills that you can write on your resume you might want to actually separate your resumes and to create specific ones for specific jobs. So for example this is my technical job resume, this is my theatrical job resume and this is my retail job resume, okay. But what you probably should do in addition to that is to actually connect every bit of experience that you have into one document. This can be your CV or your curriculum vitae which will contain every piece of work that you've every done in your life in all of the skills that you have, so that you can have it all in one document but you can also, you know you can probably take out your chunk, you know in the category, make a separate resume based on that so you can actually get the correct resume for the right job you are applying for. So separate into categories all these things, begin paring down the CV into smaller resumes by putting your most impressive credits first and then, you know, down from there your credits that are, you know, actually in the past. So you're not only going to want to put your most impressive credits but also your most recent credits first and then work backwards. So if you have lots of diverse working experience you might want to make separate documents but also one big document when you're making your resume."
