<hr>
<p>I got it down to a page, now my question is, should I space out the categories more at the risk of making it two pages again and having to cutout more information</p>
<p>Do you guys think colleges will actually look at this?</p>
<p>You should include specific dates, not time frames. Also, standard resumes just list the institution, contact information for that institution, the dates you worked, and what that work entailed. Also, I don't think your radio show performances are relevant. Another thing is, you want to include your name, address, and phone number in the resume heading. Even if this is only to send to colleges, it's better to stick to the industry standards. </p>
<p>Another thing, please be more specific. For example, "several years babysitting for an autistic boy": you sound completely superficial, esp. since you list it under "enrichment activities."</p>
<p>Resumes should consist of the following sections:
1. Objective (If applicable)</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Education (Your high school, also any classes you might have taken at a local college or museum, etc.)
2a. Optional: your curriculum vitae</p></li>
<li><p>Activities (This would commonly be known as extracurriculars. It's just a more general name. Don't separate your activities, like you do above, into school activities, community related, and leadership positions. You're trying to be as straightforward as possible, and NOT trying to classify your activities.)</p></li>
<li><p>Experience/Volunteer Work </p></li>
<li><p>Skills/Special Interests (Organization, responsibility, promptness, etc. is NOT a valid skill. I hate people who put general "skills" like this onto their resumes. This stuff is expected of you at any job. Valid skills include, but are not limited to: in depth knowledge of computers [if you are proficient at less mainstream systems like Linux, etc., mention it specifically], artistic skills, editing skills, et al.)</p></li>
</ol>
<p>The sections above are not binding, but good for a basic guideline. Over elaboration = boring. And I agree with the one page thing. However, I've written resumes that are 1.5 pages, and they've been totally fine.</p>
<p>Also, please do not describe anything in your resume past your job description. For example, "prepared me to be a leader." Seriously, if I read this, I wouldn't give it a second glance. Simply too fluffed up.</p>
