How to write a guide resume

Craft a resume summary statement

Put a resume summary on the top of your resume to highlight your accomplishments. A resume summary sums up your experience and skills, making it easy for hiring managers to understand your qualifications at a glance. Here are some tips to write a strong, impressive resume summary:

Step 1: Start with your current job title, or the one you aspire to. Are you a passionate manager? A skilled analyst? It's a good starting point.

Step 2: Next put your years of experience in guide-related roles.

Step 3: Now is the time to put your biggest accomplishment or something you are professionally proud of.

Step 4: Read over what you have written. It should be 2-4 sentences. Your goal is to summarize your experience, not recite your resume.

These four steps should give you a strong elevator pitch and land you some guide interviews.

Hi, I'm Zippi, your job search robot. Let me write a first draft of your summary statement.

List the right project manager skills

Your Skills section is an easy way to let recruiters know you have the skills to do the job. Just as importantly, it can help your resume not get filtered out by hiring software. Here is how to make the most of your skills section and make sure you have the right keywords:

  1. Look at the job listing and skills listed. You need to include the exact keywords from the job description to get your resume in front of an actual human. Do you have those skills? Fantastic! Be sure to list them.
  2. Include as many relevant hard or technical guide skills as possible for each job you apply to.
  3. Be specific with the skills you have and be sure you are using the most up to date and accurate terms.
These five steps should give you a strong elevator pitch and land you some guide interviews.

Here are example skills to include in your “Area of Expertise” on a guide resume:

  • Brand Awareness
  • Product Knowledge
  • Safety Rules
  • Customer Service
  • Safety Procedures
  • CPR
  • Adventure
  • Local History
  • POS
  • Chrome
  • Leadership
  • Windows
  • Community Resources
  • Excellent Guest
  • Front Desk
  • Facebook
  • Interpretive Programs
  • Twitter
  • ZIP Line
  • Ropes Course
  • Risk Management
  • Customer Complaints
  • Sales Floor
  • Pulleys
  • HTML
  • Safety Equipment
  • Alertness
  • Financial Aid
  • Educational Programs
  • PowerPoint

You can let Zippi customize your resume.

Zippi waving

How to structure your work experience

A work experience section is a vital part of your resume because it shows you have the experience to succeed in your next job.

  1. Put your most recent experience first. Prospective employers care about your most recent accomplishments the most.
  2. Put the job title, company name, city, and state on the left. Align dates in month and year format on the right-hand side.
  3. Include only recent, relevant jobs. This means if you're a fairly experienced worker, you might need to leave off that first internship or other positions in favor of highlighting more pertinent positions.

How to write guide experience bullet points

Your resume is not a list of responsibilities or a job description. Instead, it is your chance to show your accomplishments and show why you're good at what you do.

  • Use the What, How, and Why format. Answering these questions turns a bland job description into an effective showcase of your abilities.
  • What were your responsibilities or goals?
  • How did you accomplish them?
  • Why were your results important? (How did it impact your company? Can you quantify the results in numbers? )

Here are effective examples from guide resumes:

Work History Example #1

Brand Representative

Walmart

  • Utilized communication in assisting a broad range of customers.
  • Assisted customers at the fine jewelry counter
  • Processed requests to have jewelry resized.
  • Provided inventory control on all jewelry within the department, handled monetary exchanges, and assisted in product returns and exchanges.
  • Promoted customer satisfaction through clear concise communication.

Work History Example #2

  • Conducted Puppy Playtime on the weekends.
  • Tested and taught Canine Good Citizen and passed dozens of dogs.
  • Facilitated a Puppy Playtime program to socialize young puppies.
  • Certified American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen and S.T.A.R.

Work History Example #3

Work History Example #4

You can let Zippi customize your resume.

Add an education section to your resume

The education section should display your highest degree first.

Place your education section appropriately on your resume. If you graduated over 5 years ago, this section should be at the bottom of your resume. If you just graduated and lack relevant work experience, the education section should go to the top.

If you have a bachelor's or master's degree, do not list your high school education. If your graduation year is more than 15-20 years ago, it's better not to include dates in this section.

Here are some examples of good education entries from guide resumes:

High School Diploma

2017 - 2017

Highlight your guide certifications on your resume

Certifications can be a crucial part of your resume. Many jobs have required certifications.
