Although some of you may need a CV, most of you will need a resume when you first graduate. Your resume is your marketing tool, so ultimately you want to feel good about it. You will make many resumes/edits to your resume over the years - it is a always changing. You will want to tailor it for each position that you apply for. I highly recommend creating one master resume that includes all of your experiences. This allows you to not have to rewrite your experiences each time you need them and gives you a master list to look at when you are creating your tailored resume.
Tips on tailoring and creating a strong and compelling resume are found in the presentation below!

As mentioned above, your resume or CV is your marketing tool so you want to feel really good about it. One way to do so is to write strong bullet points. Here is the formula to help you create those bullet points (more details in PowerPoint above).
ACTION + WHO/WHAT + HOW/PURPOSE/RESULT/ACTION.
ACTION + WHO/WHAT + HOW/PURPOSE/RESULT/ACTION.
Lead with action verbs...(no personal pronouns)
Use industry keywords/language
These can be found in job descriptions
Make sure you reflect your skills accurately and not just use keywords if you don't have that experience
Think about skills & experiences unique to you
Go Beyond Duties and Ask Yourself?
What impact did you make?
What value did you add?
What did you learn (and how that is applicable to this position)?
What accomplishments did you make?
What skills did you use/gain (demonstrate skill through descriptions)?
