<p>I'm still a first-year and can't find much to put on my CV besides the courses I've taken.
There's a bunch of stuff from high school but I don't know if they count once you're in college.</p>
<p>But I haven't done any research or work, and am simply a "participant" of some clubs. There's nothing really that stands out in my CV so far so I'm not sure how I'm supposed to ask people for research opportunities. </p>
<p>I was reading this: Office</a> for Undergraduate Research at UNC-Chapel Hill</p>
<p>It says to send a CV to the person that you ask for research opportunities, but I don't really know what they're expecting since I'm only a first-year...Any help is appreciated!</p>
<p>If you go to carrers.unc.edu they have lots more resources and I think you can probably sign up for a workshop or get someone over there to help you with it. I think it’s a general OK for first years to put stuff from high school, but only if it’s relevant to the position (not random padding).</p>
<p>As a new undergraduate put any relevant activities including experiences from high school (you should gradually take them out as you get more along in undergrad). If not research related focus the skills/knowledge you developed from each activity. For example, technological proficiency with MS Word, Excel or PowerPoint. Writing papers, basic statistics (correlations and descriptives like mean median mode etc.) attention to detail, public speaking, effective communication skills, leadership, responsibility. etc.</p>
