Page 4, The Salemite, February 19,1982 Step One: Write a Resume by Sunny Nolde You don’t have to get nervous about writing a resume - save that for the job interview. With research and organization anyone can develop the appropriate resume. There is no right or wrong resume format or style; however, it is to your advantage to follow certain guidelines and suggestions. As the publication Business World Women (1982) says, “the right format for you is the one that works and gets you an interview.” The purpose of a resume is to introduce you to a prospective employer in an effective way that will result in a job interview. In his book The Complete Resume Book, Dr. J. Angel defines a resume as “a record of your working life past and present as related to your future goals and expectations and as measured by your ambition. It is sort of a self- advertisement....” Determine Objectives With that in mind, you must establish short term career objectives and-or long term goals. If you fail to decide on your job objectives you may include irrelevant in formation and neglect im portant facts on your resume. First do some research and find out as much as possible about your field of interest - what and where the op portunities are. (The Lifespan Center is a good place to start.) Decide the areas of work for which you think you are most qualified. Resume Formats Now start working on your resume. There are several general formats. Four of the most popular resume styles are the basic, the chronological, the functional and the modern analytical. Even though the formats differ, they share the same lists of “do’s and don’t’s.” DO’S " Use 50 percent rag bond typing paper, 8W x 11”. “ Single space with double spacing between paragraphs. - Use short paragraphs, eight or 10 lines. - Emphasize each category of information in a way that readers can quickly find the information needed. - Place personal data (full name, address, phone number) at top. - If you include job ob jective, it should appear after name and address. - Use action words in concise, clearly lyritten phrases. - Use jargon of your chosen field. ” Include all functions related to your education, experience and career ob jective. “ List relevant work ex perience in chronological order with brief descriptions of responsibilities. - Include scholastic awards and extra-curricular ac tivities. “ Be specific. Focus on “quantities” regarding ex perience and projects. - Limit to one page in length. NEVER more than two pages. Include name on second page. - Make revisions, re-type, proofread and re-type again. DON’TS: - Don’t elaborate about work below your top level of employment. ~ Don’t include salary. - Don’t list leisure time activities which have nothing to do with job target. - Don’t list references, especially personal friends. “ Don’t make career ob jective too general. - Don’t use introductory phrases such as “My duties include.” - Don’t use too much irrelevant information, (i.e., weight, age, health, etc.). Look for “Landing,a Job: Step 2 " Job Interviews” in the March 5 issue of The Salemite. Salem Freshman Paige McThenia works on Salem College Phon-a-thou.

Storm windows for all dorm rooms would eliminate drafts and cut heating costs. Currently, the college and academy operate on one campus-wide electrical meter, so there is no way to tell where the consumption is greatest. Individual meters on all the buildings would indicate the most wasteful areas and where improvements are needed.

These solutions are ex tremely costly and not feasible in the immediate future. However, Upchurch has some suggestions on how students can help alleviate the finaancial burden of Salem’s sky-high energy bill: -Dripping faucets are a big waste; turn them off and take short showers. -Blocking radiators with beds or furniture prevents circulation of heat; keep the area clean and unobstructed. -Turn off lights, stereos and TVs when leaving the room for more than five minutes. -Opening windows lets heat escape in winter, air con ditioning in summer; especially with air con ditioning, keep doors and windows closed and turn it off when leaving the room. -If a heater is broken, notify maintenance; it could be wasting energy. collegiate crossword ©Edward Julius Collegiate CW79-17 41 "Be quiet!" 10 Kenneth Roberts ACROSS 42 Suffix for diet or novel 1 Sheepskin path 11 Greek letters 8 "The Girl from —" 43 Bartlett, e.g. 12 Dutch cheese 15 Like a one-year-old 44 Does a poolroom job 13 Produced thoroughbred (2 wds.) 14 On the Adriatic 16 Poet Pablo, and 46 Magnon 23 Male deer family 49 Degree from the 24 Hits the ground be 17 Scare Wharton School fore the golf ball 18 Middle Ages 50 Like some shirts 25 Norn de crime expedition 55 Electric chair 26 Remove by per 19 Certain mast (2 wds.) colation attachment 57 "You Evermore," 27 Decrease 20 Military branch 1927 song 29 Slangy nose (abbr.) 58 Eisenhower Center 30 Intermediate, in law 21 "Call cab" site 31 House of 22 Full of knots 59 Struggled valiantly 33 Fragile wash 24 Pacific Ocean 60 Closes the wine load discoverer 61 Perle Mesta, e.g. 34 Enthusiastic about 28 Sheriff Taylor's 36 Computer compilation son DOWN (2 wds.) 29 Don Meredith's 39 Painter Jan alma mater 1 Gable/Harlow movie. 40 Post-dinner meals 32 ".. .has and "Red " 43 9V X 12" book hungry look" 2 Type of verb(abbr.) 45 Hoard 33 Reporter's headache 3 Beseech 46 Burn 35 Car or command 4 Phyllis Lindstrom's 47 Burton movie. 36 Liabilities husband "The " 37 Eat between 5 Stop sign, e.g. 48 Auricular meals 6 Miss Mercouri 51 Give off 38 Info, on a stock 7 Rogers St. 52 Split certificate (2 wds.] 1 Johns 53 Chemical suffixes 40 Robbins' "A 8 Blame 54 Studies for Danny Fisher" 9 Meteors of August 56 "Reduce Speed"
