Sample Resumes

Select a resume format that highlights your strengths.

Resumes come in many shapes and sizes. While there is no "correct" resume format, you should select one that highlights your strengths. For example, a student with little work experience might choose a format that emphasizes academic achievements first.

The sample resumes listed below provide a variety of example of formats. The template used to create each resume is also listed.
