What curriculum should you use for a resume writing class?

Purdue University recommends a curriculum vitae for a resume writing class. A curriculum vitae lists an applicant's relevant academic and job experience.

Before planning a curriculum, the instructor should determine if he is instructing applicants on how to make a CV or a resume. A resume is perfect for first-time job seekers and those wanting to create a professional identity. A CV is longer, more in-depth and focuses more on an academic identity.

There is no standard format when it comes to constructing a curriculum for a resume writing class. The focus should be on clear, concise writing that lists an applicant's strengths and academic performance.
