No Experiances With Resume's

Applying to College
1

<p>I’ve looked around the internet for resume guides, and there’s not one I could find for High School -> College. They’re all Highschool -> job or college -> job.
I wrote one, though I just guessed at all the sections. May I have some advice?
Thanks!</p>

<p>There are myriad ways to approach it. Mine is organized into Academics, Activities, Awards, Special Programs, and Work Experience, but it will vary by person.</p>

<p>What special programs do you mean, Glassesarechic.
Does work experiences imply a physical outside of home job, or could a youtube partnership be considered a job?</p>

<p>Would it be better if I gave a short explaination of each item in my list?</p>

<p>Resumes are completely superfluous unless there are really important things that you absolutely cannot fit into the Common App, which is not the case for most applicants who send in resumes.</p>

<p>Special programs would be camps, conferences, etc.</p>

<p>Work experience is anything that earns you money.</p>

<p>I would agree that the Common App often offers enough space, but I’d hesitate to say that they’re almost always superfluous. However, in the OP’s case, I think the Common App offers enough space.</p>
