<p>My son needs to put together a resume for a summer program he is applying for.</p>

<p>all of the resumes and templates that he has found so far are for adults and he is having a hard time putting his information into that format.</p>

<p>He has only had one job, a handful of ECs, and school subjects. Lots of interests.</p>

<p>does anyone have a link to a good sample high school resume? </p>

<p>We would really appreciate the help!</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>If you email me, or send me your email address, I can send you my son’s. We actually have several versions of it, designed for various purposes.</p>

<p>Here is a start of a resume.</p>

<p>In trying to remember what my D used as a resume for applying to summer programs. . .I would think about the following categories.</p>

<p>EDUCATION: School, graduation date, GPA/rank, test scores if available (PSAT/SAT/ACT taken yet?) If you are applying for a science/math summer program, you may want to mention the subjects you are currently taking or have taken in those fields.</p>

<p>EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES: List with important ones at the top. After each description, list any leadership positions and awards. Don’t innundate the resume with every ticky-tacky club he’s ever been in–more does not mean better. If science and math programs, be sure to list and describe any science and math things he’s done, tests he’s taken, awards won.</p>

<p>EMPLOYMENT: Put in job here.</p>

<p>COMMUNITY SERVICE: Again, important ones here.</p>

<p>You could add a section about INTERESTS, but it really should be short–a couple of lines at the most.</p>

<p>Good luck. This resume will come in useful when applying for college–get a lot of info down that you’ll find relevant when filling out the forms.</p>

<p>My son put together what he called a “one-sheet” which highlighted his academic, extra-curricular, and job/internship involvement. PM or email me and I’d be glad to send you a copy.</p>
