<p>What would appeal the most to you and the least and in what order?</p>
<p>1) The grades
2) The accreditation of the program
3) Your extracurriculars including volunteer work
4) If you have gone on an internship
5) Study Abroad
6) Accomplishments from like find some cure to something or went on tv to discuss some poliical debates.
7) Liberal arts majors or minors, including maybe languages and philosophy
8) Your class ranking (maybe including honors)
9) How long it took for you to graduate
10) Recommendations from professors or whomever
11) Your name (if it represents fame in the world)
12) The name of the college, prestige or company legacy.
13) others</p>
<p>To me, 1) your name, accreditation, grades, internship, recommendations, study abroad, your class ranking, and (last) prestige</p>
<p>The name and grades may get you in the door, but the interview is what will seal the deal. Bad interview = no job, no matter how book smart you are.</p>
<p>CHARACTER COUNTS. Never forget that. And work ethic. I dont want some kid who is privileged coming in and telling everyone they went to XYZ Ivy or Prestigious school as if they dont have to start at the bottom and earn their respect.</p>
<p>Interview’s a good one I think I’ll add that to the list. But what is it really that makes an employer (which is you) want to give you the interview by just looking up and down the person’s resume?</p>
<p>If a girl is applying, she has to be at least a 7 on the attractive scale.</p>
<p>Seriously, though, I’d look at character and whatever evidence of work ethic I could find. I say character because there are too many “book-smart” people who are just a bore.</p>
<p>I know I didn’t have to use the same list, but I felt like it:</p>

10) Study Abroad

<p>I’ve talked to several Human Resources Directors, and they ALL say that Education Profile comes first, then work experience. Unless you have something to offer in the ways of real work experience that IS relevant, then don’t put it on the top of the list. </p>
<p>Also, the resume styling and the amount of detail also counts. See if you can get a few once-overs before you submit it.</p>
<p>I was looking at job listings the other day and found it interesting that several employers request that the only applicants who should apply are those who came from an ivy league school.</p>
<p>Serafina, maybe we are talking about different types of jobs because that is not true for the ones I’ve talked to. They’ve told me that it doesn’t matter where you graduate and you will never be asked for your transcript.</p>
<p>I think it goes:
The fact that you have a degree.
Experience.
Good interview.
Recommendations (like the ones you list on an application for them to call).
Availability (for certain days/hours/shifts/etc)</p>
<p>I’m quite confused by your statement, because your list is exactly how I would put it - Education, then work experience, then etc. I was talking about entry level jobs, but I would still agree with organizing a resume like that.</p>
