It is not always easy to put together a resume in your own country, but it may be even more difficult to put together a resume as an ESL student. Luckily, there are tips widely available for ESL students who are looking to land their dream job. Use the following tips to put together a resume as an ESL student.

Start with an Objective
An objective section is an optional part of a resume, but it is still a section that is found on many resumes. The purpose of the objective is to briefly state your career goals. If you are posting your resume online for various employers, it is best to add an objective. However, you may not need an objective if you are applying for a specific position.

List Your Work Experience
Your work experience is an important part of your resume, and it should include your paid and unpaid positions. If you have held multiple positions, be sure to list the jobs in reverse-chronological order. You want to include your position, company name, dates employed, and responsibilities.

Include Your Educational Experience
It is also important to include your educational experience, especially as an ESL student who is looking to obtain a specific career. You can use this section to show that you have experience in learning another language. This section should include your school names, relevant courses, majors and certificates or degrees. You can also include activities, clubs, and competitions that are relevant to your career.

List Your Available References
You also want to list your available references. If you are posting your resume online, you can simply add “References available upon request” to keep the personal information of co-workers, teachers, or peers offline. Otherwise, each reference should include their name, company, job title and contact information. Their contact information should include their phone number, email address, and address.

Look Into Professional Resume Writers
If you are still having trouble getting started on your resume, you may want to hire a custom executive level resume builder. They are professional writers who have years of experience in building resumes for their clients. A professional can highlight your strengths, qualifications, and experiences to help you reach your career goals.

Putting together a resume as an ESL student does not have to be an intimidating or stressful task. You are sure to land a job in your preferred career field if you keep the above tips in mind.
