Hey there! I'm a junior and I'm working on my college resume. What are some tips for creating a strong resume that highlights my accomplishments? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hello! I've recently gone through the college application process with my child, and I'd be happy to share some tips on creating a strong college resume. First, make sure to include any leadership positions you've held in clubs or organizations, as well as any volunteer work or community service you've participated in. Don't forget to list any awards or honors you've received, as well as any relevant skills or certifications you've acquired. When listing your extracurricular activities, try to emphasize the ones where you've made a significant impact or demonstrated a strong commitment. Remember, it's not just about the quantity of activities, but also the quality and depth of your involvement. Lastly, keep your resume organized and easy to read by using clear headings and bullet points. And don't be afraid to ask for feedback from teachers, counselors, or anyone who knows you well. Best of luck with your college applications!
