Hey,
I’m currently wading through the various application forms, and I am well aware of the fact that the admissions officers don’t have enough time to their hands to check on every applicant and fight themselves through unorganized applications.
I want to avoid that - I already heard about the saying “the thicker the envelope, the thicker the kid”. In order to keep my envelope slim, I wanted to compose a well-written and well-organized resum
<p>Can't wait for your answers! :)</p>
<p>a good resume is only one page long of the juiciest bits. It's well organized, a bit like a bibliography. It's got years participated, positions held, distinctions awarded. Elaboration is good here when you can explain roles, not list them, and anything special you brought to the activity/position.</p>
<p>I personally think it's best to group things by activity so that you can highlight the aspects of your personality - are you really into track&field and also into a bit of orchestra? Or are you really really into community service, with some art/music activites on the side?</p>
<p>Personally, I couldn't keep to one page. I do'nt know if this hurt me or not. I would say definitely no more than two pages.</p>
<p>My school handed out a really boring example for us to use. It really has no pizazz. I can't imagine the poor adcoms reading thousands of those. How do you format your resume to give it a little punch? What have you guys done to make your resumes stand out?</p>
<p>...and is it possible to support your resum</p>
<p>Just try developing your own style of resume that represents you best. For most people, categorizing their passion and elaborating on it works best.</p>
<p>I guess I should simply write a resum</p>
