How do you make a good resume?

when applying to a collage what should you do on your resume to make a good impression. #pro #collage #rightpath

Thank you comment icon I recommend using InDesign! Try googling "InDesign Resume Template", and an alternative is google docs. That is the visual end... But basically bullet point or summarize your work experiences, skills, and hobbies. Include your name and contact at the top! When you apply for a job or internship you will need a resume, but when you apply to college, you will need applications + essays + money! Writing is a powerful tool to open opportunities. You can check out https://www.goingmerry.com/c/caitlinp-l0dy(refer for free swag!) and it can help give you interesting prompts. They mostly look for personal growth, authenticity, and passion! A great way is pick something you are passionate about ex. sports, clubs, extracurriculars! Just find something you love! Caitlin

Ana’s Answer

at the top you include your education( you high school assume) and your GPA if you want. Below this you add any internship or work experience ( even if you worked at mcdonalds). Clearly state what you did in your job and how long you did it ( example: Mcdonalds Cashier May 2016 -June 2017 handled cash, take customer orders,prepare food ) Then you add any clubs you were involved in (example: debate, spanish club ). Also state how long you were in the club and what you did. Below that have complete category for any skills you have ( example: conversational german, C++ and HTML ,) and also list any awards you have ) example: most conversational for spanish club, most games won in chess club )

Ana recommends the following next steps:

start with education section ( your high school, GPA)
add any intership or work experience ( include your position, tasks done and how long you were then)
add section for any clubs ( add your position, what you did and for how long)
last section is for any awards, skills or certificates

Rachel’s Answer

First of all, if your GPA and SAT score are outstanding, those need to be front and center. After that, try to find ways to highlight your leadership skills, community service, and interest in your desired major.
