how'd ya'll do your resumes

<p>Out of curiosity, and boredom induced from being on a plane for many consecutive hours, I'm wondering how you guys did your resumes.
I did mine the common app way. Here's an example:</p>

<p>Activity Grades Hours/Weeks Description/Achievements</p>

<p>Debate 9,10,11,12 4 Hours, 15 Weeks Selected as Captain</p>

<p>School Paper 10,11,12 4 Hours, 30 weeks Write and Edit Articles</p>

<p>Science Olympiad 9,10,11,12 3 Hours, 15 Weeks State Champion</p>

<p>So I just wrote the activity, grades, hours, and a short few sentences about the activity or what I do in it. </p>

<p>Do you think they prefer it that way, since its similar to the common app? How else did you guys do yours? </p>

<p>uh,oh Turbulence...</p>

<p>There's already a topic on this, and yes, common app is what I did.</p>

<p>the other one was on who sent a resume, not what kinds their are. I never saw a real resume before, so I was wondering what they looked like. For the descriptions, did people just use sentences?</p>

<p>I don't think it really matters. Just make it look neat and organized. I didn't even put my hours/weeks on the resume (they were on the common app).</p>

<p>nealious, i saw this thread title and automatically thought you were from texas. but i just checked your profile and i see it says youre from PA. since when do people from PA say "y'all"?</p>

<p>anyways, about your post- i say just follow the common app formula. it looks consistent and organized, though i dont know if you needed to put the amount of time you spent on each activity. oh well though; at least colleges will be able to see your hours. gooooooood luck!</p>

<p>ps, you must have an awesome laptop if you can do stuff on the plane. hopefully you aren't going to a tsunami-affected area</p>
