College Resumes 101
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Graduation in May and no idea how to get started on a resume?
A college resume should include an objective, education, work experience, achievements and affiliations.
With a college resume, it is appropriate under your experience to list internships, work experiences, clubs, volunteer work, extra curricular activities and studies abroad.
Be sure to list specifics in regard to each experience, do not simply list company names and dates.
This will allow the prospective employer to understand your responsibilities.
If you haven’t had work experience, focus on education - list courses, GPA and class projects.
It is advantageous to list your major or overall GPA if it is over a 3.0 in most cases.
These suggestions should give you a great start.
