Help: How do you write a RESUME?

<p>Hi!
Obviously I have a question to ask..</p>

<p>I'm currently a high scool junior.
and I'm planning to volunteer at a local museum this summer..
and as a part of the application process, I was asked to submit a resume.</p>

<p>What is a resume? and How do I write it?
I know it's a paper that you list your past experiences and stuff..
but I don't really know exactly what things to write in that paper..</p>

<p>Will my High school GPA, classes I took, and my past volunteering experience at local library would be enough?</p>

<p>I know it's rather a simple question..
but please understand that it's my first time that I ever was asked to do this.</p>

<p>Anyway
Thanks for your answers!!</p>

<p>Your resume should include:
Name,address,email,phone number
Objective
qualifications
experience or volunteer experience if you dont have any work experience
hobbies,interest
ec,listed by when you did them,how many hours spent
achievements
reference</p>

<p>google "resume" for the format</p>

<p>go to google, type in "write resume", pick from the responses</p>

<p>Write a "brag sheet". It's a kind of resume in which you talk about your ec activities, your volunteering experiences, your work experiences, your academic awards and honors, your personal/extracurricular awards and honors and finally your hobbies and interests. I wrote a brag sheet, and for each activity I participated in and for each rather notable award I won, I wrote a sentence description. I think colleges really like this type of resume writing style as it allows you, the applicant, to come off as something more than just a list of statistics.</p>

<p>You have to be careful however, as some colleges like Stanford will not take resumes.</p>
