TITLE：
This might be the most important part of the resume. The title will be the first words that hiring managers read，so it should be targeted and memorable. The best titles contain keywords of the actual position you are seeking. There is a 60-character limit，so choose your words carefully.
Title - Examples：
“Senior NT Network Administrator”
“Sales Manager with 5 Years of E-Commerce Experience”
“Human Resources Generalist”
“C/C++ Software Developer”
“Technical Sales Representative / Account Executive”
“Registered Nurse / Rehab Hospital”
OBJECTIVE：
The objective should showcase your professional goal，but with an emphasis on what you bring to the employer，not what the employer can do for you. The best objectives are tailored to a specific position or occupational field；
the worst objectives are vague statements（“looking for a challenging opportunity？）or are centered on the candidate抯 needs（”I am looking for a position with great benefits？）。Avoid using personal pronouns（I，me，my）in the objective statement. The 2，000-character limit gives you ample space to write a well-defined objective. In fact，the objective can contain some of your key skills or areas of expertise that you would like to emphasize.
Objective - Examples：
“Network technician position that capitalizes on expertise in Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0，NT 4.0，NT Workstation，and NT servers. Experience designing，implementing，and maintaining enterprise-wide SMS site. Proficient in installing，configuring，troubleshooting，and supporting large-scale network servers and resolving connectivity issues.”
“Sports enthusiast with solid management experience and a passion for professional and amateur sports，pursuing a career with a sports team or sports marketing company. Skilled at building strong team environments and fostering open communications. Currently coach football，bowling，and weight training and continually promote concepts of integrity，quality，and teamwork.”
“Seeking an insulation cost estimator position. Offer extensive hands-on and supervisory experience in multimillion-dollar industrial projects within the construction industry. Proficiency with using all types of insulation and lagging materials. Track record of accomplishing takeoffs，using scale rule，electronic scaler，and computerized programs.”
CONTACT INFORMATION：
Your name，address，and phone are required fields. On this page，you have the option to save your resume as confidential，which will block your personal information from being viewed.
JOB TARGET：
Complete the section regarding your desired job，which covers job type（employee，intern，contractor），salary，and location. You are then asked to describe your ideal job. This is another opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to the potential employer抯 goals；avoid dwelling on your particular employment needs. The 500-character limit allows you to describe your ideal job in detail，but a few lines should suffice.
Describe Your Ideal Job - Example：
Seeking to establish a European and global presence for a software/hardware company，utilizing personal insights，business savvy，and knowledge of European customs and languages. Offer a proven record of success in establishing brand identity，elevating corporate presence and image，and facilitating the start-up of operations in various European locales.
TARGET COMPANY：
Complete company size（you can choose“no preference”if applicable）and company category. Then select the appropriate type of company from the drop down list. If none of the categories apply，choose“other.”Next，describe your ideal company. If you are open to considering various types of companies，make sure your description reflects your flexibility. On the other hand，if you are sure about the type of company you wish to pursue，develop a targeted statement.
Describe Your Ideal Company - Example：
Searching for an opportunity to work for a leader in innovative network and telecommunication solutions.
TARGET LOCATION：
You may choose up to 20 locations in the U.S. and abroad. Mark the checkbox if you are willing to relocate.
WORK EXPERIENCE：
List your company name，location，job title，and start/end date for each position held. Entry-level candidates might also include internships or unpaid experience. The Resume Builder will list your employment history in reverse chronological order，so you don抰 have to worry about the order in which you input your jobs.
The quality of your“Work Description”is very important. For each position held，include both responsibilities and accomplishments. Responsibilities are duties and job tasks that were expected of you in your position. Examples include，“manage department with 15 employees and a budget of $2.5 million”and“create promotional materials to market program.”
Accomplishments are achievements，awards，recognitions，special projects，and promotions. Write down your key accomplishments using specific examples. Examples are“saved the department $15，000 a year by recommending new office supply vendors”and“awarded Top Salesperson in Northeast District in 1999.”
Place the most emphasis on your recent career，providing significant detail as far back as 15 years. Spend less time on earlier positions，unless they directly relate to your current goal.
This section allows 2，000 characters，enough for a paragraph outlining your job responsibilities and a bulleted list of your top achievements. Continue saving and adding experiences until your employment history is covered.
