Creating a Resume
A good resumé can take you places and students need a resume whether they are applying for college, the military or the workforce. Additionally résumés are great to give to anyone you are asking to write a letter of recommendation as they help refresh the author’s memory about all that makes you marvelous.
Remember…
- Avoid making your resumé too short or too long.
- Avoid using personal pronouns and articles.
- Quantify as much as possible. Use Numbers to Highlight Your Accomplishments. For example:
- Over 75 hours dedicated to Relay for Life
- Vs
- Volunteered for Relay for Life
- Watch out for typos! A typo can land your résumé in the trash.
- Include what you do before and after school as well as during vacations.
- List awards, merits, achievements and accomplishments—this is your time to shine!
