Purposeassume That You Are Beginning Your Last Semester Of College Bef

Assume that you are beginning your last semester of college before graduating. Using information about your education, work experience, and so on, prepare a résumé in an effective format.

Process:

  1. How will you word your name at the top of your résumé—for example, with or without any initials?
  2. What is the title of your degree? The name of your college? The location of the college? Your major and minor? Your expected date of graduation (month and year)?
  3. What is your grade-point average overall and in your major? Is either one high enough to be considered a selling point?
  4. Have you received any academic honors, such as scholarships or being named to the dean’s list? If so, list them.
  5. Did you take any elective courses that are relevant to the job and that might differentiate you from other applicants? If so, list them.
  6. List in reverse chronological order (most recent job first) the following information for each job you’ve held during college: company name, job title, location (city and state), and dates of employment. Describe your specific responsibilities in each position. Use short phrases, beginning each responsibility with an action verb, and showing, where possible, specific evidence of the results you achieved.
  7. What additional information might you include, such as special skills, extracurricular activities, volunteer work, languages spoken, and so on?
