Creating your Resume Put your best foot forward!

What’s in a Resume? A resume is a living document … it may begin here in high school, but it will change, grow and develop throughout your lifetime! A resume is an introduction of the subject … YOU! A really effective resume makes you 3-Dimensional to the reader.

What a resume does:  Highlights your skills, abilities and talents  Summarizes your accomplishments  Outlines your activities … volunteer commitments … club participation and employment commitments

What a resume does not do:  Overstates or misrepresents your skills and abilities  Includes information that does not put you in the best light

A resume is made up of sections to help the reader identify different aspects of your qualifications: Personal identifying data Academic Qualifications Skills & Talents Achievements & Awards Extra-curricular Activities: sports and clubs Volunteer Commitments Employment

Personal Data Include your name, address, phone number and address Make sure that your address is appropriate! You might not want to use the same address you would use with friends.

Keep it real! Make it fit! It’s OK to have two different resumes … one for employment, and one for college/scholarship. Each one can highlight the same information, but will do it differently! Your resume should list the most relevant and important information first, and the less important information second.

Employment Resume Highlight the items an employer might be most concerned with: Personal Data Personal Data Employment history Employment history Skills & Talents Skills & Talents Achievements & Awards Achievements & Awards You might want to down-play extensive extra-curricular and/or volunteer commitments!

Academic or Scholarship Resume Highlight the items a college might be most concerned with: Personal Data Personal Data Academic Qualifications Academic Qualifications Achievements & Awards Achievements & Awards Extra-Curricular Activies Extra-Curricular Activies Volunteer Commitments Volunteer Commitments

You are just beginning to lay the foundation for your future self! Grab some life experiences which will create an awesome resume!
