Proper format for a resume...

Applying to College
1

<p>I am just now writing out a tentative resume-and I am slowly beginning to realize I have no idea what format to follow. Is there a implied format that I need to follow with the different sections and information? This is what I have so far.</p>

<p>Name / GPA
Address / Class Rank
Telephone Number / SAT</p>

<p>Academic Awards, Honors, Recognition:</p>

<p>Athletic Participation:</p>

<p>School Activities:</p>

<p>Community Activities:</p>

<p>Employment:</p>

<p>Travel:</p>

<p>Hobbies and Unique Interests:</p>

<p>I just went with my instincts when creating these categories-do they need to be condensed at all? Can someone show me an excellent sample resume which utilizes a certain format that I should follow?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
