<p>I asked my chemistry teacher for my recommendation letter.and she asked me for a resume.I understand that a resume is always helpful,but I have a question.What should I include on my resume to give out the best information to my teacher????</p>
<p>A resume is generally a one page outline of all that you’ve accomplished from 9th through 12th grades. Some of the areas usually seen are: academics (list your GPA and SAT/ACT scores here), extra-curricular activities, awards and honors, volunteer work, work experience, hobbies and interests, etc. You can tailor it to suit your particular experiences.</p>
<p>Sometimes teachers ask for your resume to help them in writing their letters of recommendation. I think it’s better, however, to include your resume with your application and let that speak for itself. Even if you don’t supply a resume with your application, that information and data is almost always requested somewhere on the application.</p>
<p>You can give the resume to your teacher for reference, but ask him/her to try and gear the LOR towards your personal academic achievements and performance in their class, your study skills, etc. This way their letter will present something fresh about yourself and not simply repeat what’s already available elsewhere on your application. Hope this helps a little. Good luck to you! :)</p>
<p>You can give your teacher a resume, but since what the colleges want from teachers are details about the student’s performance in courses the teacher taught and activities the teacher advises, also give the teacher copies of excellent papers/tests you did in the teacher’s class and include info about your contributions to organizations the teacher advises. Colleges aren’t interested in teachers’ regurgitating students’ resumes or activities lists.</p>
