A job objective is an optional, brief statement stating the type of position you’re seeking. An objective can limit the use of the resume, so we suggest specifying it in the cover letter.
A skills summary or profile may be used at the opening of the resume, but is optional and should be customized.
Education comes first for most students and recent graduates. Start with your School for Social Work degree, followed by your previous degree(s). You may include relevant courses, and committee work.
Foreign language proficiency, computer skills, and progress toward licensure may be included under Education.
Experience categories should be chosen according to the type of position for which you’re applying. State that your clinical internships have been full-time, especially for clinical resumes. Volunteer roles may be included. Your Community Practice Experience and anti-racism work may also appear in an experience section.
