Resumés

A resumé is the most common way of showing an employer who you are. It could mean the difference between getting called in for a job interview or not. This is your chance to show off your past job experience, volunteer work, grades, characteristics that make you a good worker, awards and other stuff.

General tips:

Have a parent or teacher proofread your resumé.
Spell out everything on your resumé. Do not use abbreviations like "St." for "Street" or "Ave." for "Avenue."
If you have to mail your resumé, do not fold it, use a large envelope to send it.
Keep resumé clean, no smudges, tears or folds.
Do not use a font larger than 20 point.
Don't get too fancy with your resumé unless you are applying for an advertising or related position.
Only include your GPA if it is 3.0 or higher.
Always include area codes with each phone number.
Name should be the largest & boldest print on resumé.
