Resume Tips!
o Complete an activities and experiences sheet to help guide you in preparing your resume or written responses to extracurricular activity and community service questions on your college or scholarship applications
§ School activities
§ Leadership positions
§ Community involvement/service opportunities
§ Awards, honors & achievements: a simple laundry list
§ Work experience
o Activities - short, one sentence description, strong active verbs. List leadership positions within if applicable
o Can include one-time special projects
o Awards, honors and achievements: a simple laundry list (though you should explain any awards that do not have an obvious title) or may include more detailed descriptions depending on the amount of awards you have received
o Professional looking easy to read font
o Can be more than one page if needed - if you need the room. But it is not a must. Keep in mind that a resume is more like an outline than an essay; it should not be dense with information, but rather be an easy-to-follow bulleted list.
o Visit the following websites for resume examples and The Top Ten Don’t Do’s http://www.riversidemo.com/recreation/page/harts-helpful-hint-top-ten-dont-dos-college-application-resume. The first two resume examples here are good examples. http://www.collegeconfidential.com/high-school-resume
