<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I just graduated from undergrad and am going on to grad school in the fall. I was updating my resume and want to add a few research experiences and publications from my senior year, but doing so will push the length to over a page. Several people have told me that resumes for undergrads should be no longer than a page. Is this still true for graduate students? If so, what are the most important things to emphasize on a resume? I currently have contact information, education, honors and awards, work/research experience, relevant coursework, skills, leadership experience, publications, and activities (not relevant to my field) on the resume. Are there any of those that can/should be removed?</p>
<p>My son is a rising Senior and is planning on graduate school as well - BME.</p>
<p>He was advised to have both a resume and a CV.</p>
<p>The resume is a one page snaphot listing academics, experience, skills, awards, professional affiliations - everything in reverse chronological order - newest first.</p>
<p>The CV includes academics, research experience, related work experience, presentations, publication, awards, leadership, professional affiliations - all listed in chronological order - newest last. The CV is as long as you need it to be. </p>
<p>Some places will ask for a resume and some for a CV, but my son generally uses the CV as he in interested in research.</p>
<p>I would sit down with someone in your school’s career services department and get some guidance on format, content etc… You can also find some excellent guidance online.</p>
