<p>I'm applying for some scholarships through my school. The resume submission can only be one page. Problem is, I have four resumes; each is for a different target audience and represents different activities I've done over the years. </p>
<p>How would you suggest I merge these together to create the best resume possible? I realize it probably sounds hard without seeing them, but they're all very specific and different (but, without seeing all four, there are some very questionable gaps in my activities). </p>
<p>Thank you for any ideas you may have!</p>
<p>I might cut down any educational header you have (I have one at the top listing my two schools), and combine and give a ‘highlights’ version (where you don’t necessarily have to explain intracately the activities). All things being equal, I would do more recent activities first, but if you have significant ones from earlier in HS, do that. Without knowing what the scholarship is for, I would do an Academic Awards section, a EC section, a volunteering section, and a work section. If the scholarship is more academic or more volunteer oriented, adjust accordingly. Again, I’d go with brief bullets and a highlights page as opposed to a full two/three page ‘expanded’ resume that some colleges ask for.</p>
<p>Sorry I wasn’t clear…I’m actually a sophomore in college, applying for continuing student scholarships through my university! But thank you. :)</p>
<p>Ah… I’d still trim the educational header to two lines, maybe, with a GPA, and then an academic awards/research section, extracurricular section (clubs on campus), and work. If a lot of your continuing scholarships are department/major based, I would also focus on things you’ve done w/i the dept.</p>
