<p>i want to make my resume impressive... highlighting all my ecs... but i don't know much about it... please help me!</p>

<p>First sit down and jot all the activities u have on record for the last 4 yrs.. HTen find out what all non statistical it can say.. while thinking write all u feel significant.......</p>

<p>Then when u are done ..try categorizing it in groups and re analyze.. u will get a fair idea of ur main strengths .. </p>

<p>Now the first formatting and draft .. trry making in a formal fashion a unique resume u think would suit ur profile.......</p>

<p>Some things abt resume ;;;</p>

<p>No short forms and abbreviations...
Highlights majorr accomplshments
Be concise and use points and bullets
Mention and descrive only in few lines .. Higlights are more important but descriptions are helpful somewhere also....
Mention all awards won</p>

<p>Hope this helps,..</p>

<p>One question you should ask yourself is what job do you want to land, and tailor your resume accordingly, listing the skills gained out of any extracurricular activities you've done, especially if you dont have any job experience yet. </p>

<p>For example, if you are a good cheerleader then focus on your motivational skills when applying for a supervisory position; your measurements (with photo attached:)) if applying for a modeling agency, or your energy drive when applying for pretty much anything; </p>

<p>If you've had internships or are already working on your senior capstone, don't forget to mention those too - they are the closer thing to real job experience you have and a lot of people forget that.</p>

<p>Mine was three pages long when I applied to Williams last year. Don't worry bout it as long as you're sure its all high-quality. If it's fluff, remove it.</p>
