Contact Information
Your full name, address (school and permanent, if you have both), telephone numbers (include area
codes) and e–mail address (as long as you check it frequently!) should be included. Remember that
your email address should reflect a professional attitude. Avoid anything “cute,” suggestive, or
humorous.
Objective and Summary
Resumes may incorporate a brief objective provided it is clear, concise, and targeted to your
employment goal. If you want to explore more than one career option, develop two or three resumes
each with a different objective aimed at a specific type of position.
When writing a professional objective, include at least two of the following three components:
1. Position desired—pharmacist, toxicologist, pharmaceutical sales representative
2. Organization type—research facility, drug manufacturing firm, retail pharmacy
3. Knowledge, experience, or skills offered—proven communication skills, analytical skills,
managerial experience, knowledge of automated prescription systems
Phrases such as: “a challenging, entry–level position” or “position dealing with people” are unclear
and mean little to a potential employer. Use stronger statements such as “seeking a pharmaceutical
sales position where I can utilize my proven sales experience, excellent communication skills, and
extensive knowledge of prescription drugs to assist doctors in treating patients effectively.”
If you do not wish to include an objective, you can leave it out, or you can incorporate a Skills
Summary or Professional Highlights section instead. If you choose to omit the objective, your cover
letter will serve as the statement that targets a specific job or industry.
Education
The Education Section highlights your academic preparation at UT and any other colleges or
universities, including study abroad. List your most recent degree first. Include the name and location
of each institution. Include your degree, major and minor, date of graduation, and any specialized
coursework. Do not abbreviate the name of your degree or major/minor. If you were a self–
supporting student, you may want to include the percentage of college expenses you earned through
academic scholarships, financial aid, and seasonal/part–time employment.
You may include your overall GPA, major GPA, both, or neither. In deciding whether to include your
GPA, consider the impression it will have on the reader. Will it make you stand out? A general rule of
thumb is to include any GPA that is above a 3.0. Indicate the scale the GPA is based on, for example
3.2/4.0.
When applying to academic positions, it is also important to list your thesis topic/dissertation topic and
advisor’s name.
