Document Summary
Due next week: resume (final draft, reading. Punctuation heading style spacing: 4 sections: personal information, education, experience, skills. Can subdivide education into college and high school. Individual name needs to stand out on the page. 4: education and experience need to be in chronological order. Experience can also be by relevance with more recent activities still on the top: education section includes university, expected degree and date of graduation, gpa, awards, courses taken, activities. If college gpa is below 3. 0, don"t include it. In which case, don"t include high school gpa even if it"s good. Otherwise, exclusion of college gpa clearly suggests it"s not that high: action verbs and specific duties in work experience section, don"t be repetitive in job duties, use new verbs, tenses: Past tense if no longer hold a certain job. Present tense if still have the job: quantify your experience. I. e. amount of money raised for a campaign.
