Common Resume Writing Questions by Graduates
Here are few common questions among recent or soon-to-be graduates.
Should I include education or experience from high school?
If you are an entry level grad, it is permissible to do so if you were a stellar student who received awards or scholarships or held officer title in school clubs or community groups. Otherwise, focus on college experience.
When and how do I present my most significant work experience?
Lead it off directly under the "employment" heading of your resume, but recent grads need to list education first. Use descriptive keywords that illustrate actions taken and any important on the job achievements.
If I had one very relevant course and project, how do I highlight both, or either?
It can be set off under "education" as "thesis" or "case study". Treat it like a work experience.
