Resume Info
Please note that both Google Docs and Microsoft Word provide templates to help you create a visually appealing resume. Use one of these! The resume is the first impression that employers and many scholarship committees have of you. If it is not professional and clean, they will assume the same about you and your work ethic. Please note that you may choose to focus on an academic resume (if planning to attend college), or a professional work resume (if planning to enter into the work force after graduation). Also, please remember that many scholarships require a resume of academic achievements and extracurricular involvement (including community service). Be sure to include all of this in your resume now to save time later.
