Resume Examples: Farmer

While the content of your resume is vital, the way you organize it is nearly as important. A strong resume demonstrates the standard structure, which naturally guides readers through and helps them see the aspects that paint you in the best light.

Begin with a summary or objective statement to act as a hook to your resume. The qualifications section quickly guides the reader to the experience section. Finally, the education section closes your resume out. You can see all these sections in action on our farmer resume sample.

While most resumes use a summary statement, you can opt to use an objective statement instead. This is appealing for entry-level resumes or jobseekers who have very little working experience.

An objective statement is unique because it explains your goals and ambitions. It should still only include information that employers need to know, however, such as your plans for advancing. Aim to make your objective statement either three sentences or three bullet points.

There is not a section in the standard resume format for certification information. This means you have two options for how to include your certifications. You can list them as another bullet point in your qualifications section. Alternatively, you can create a new section for your certifications. Put it at the end of your resume and consider combining it with affiliations or awards. Whichever option you choose, be sure to review our farmer resume sample before you start writing.

The header introduces you and provides your contact information for employers. Your goal should be for hiring managers to not really notice the header until they have finished reviewing your resume and are preparing to contact you.

You can use our customized resume builder to handle the creation of your header automatically. If you create it yourself, remember to include your full name, phone number, and email address. You can choose whether you want to include your mailing address.

As you see from our farmer resume sample, your experience section should be the focus of your own resume. You can control the length of this section by changing the number of bullet points. We recommend having at least five but not more than eight bullet points for most of your previous positions. Feel free to include more or fewer to better manage your resume. Less important jobs can have as few as two bullet points. On the other hand, the job that best establishes your qualifications can have 10 or 12 bullet points to really emphasize why you fit the position.
