How to write a resume?

<p>Does anyone have their opinions on the best layout/organizational method for college resumes?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>i like how usc has applicants set up an 'activity sheet'. it's a pretty good format they have it on the website.</p>

<p>For instance:</p>

<p>Athletics:
3yrs Varsity Soccer at Highschool
2 yrs Travel Team
- 3rd place state
- mvp award
2 yrs jv golf</p>

<p>Journalism
High school newspaper: 9, 10, 11 features editor, 12 editor in chief
summer program at northwestern 2002, 2003</p>

<p>So on and so fourth.</p>

<p>so more of a list format?</p>

<p>A list for organizations sake. Don't write paragraphs about each thing you did. You'll bore your reader to death.</p>
