<p>I think we can let go of the “brag sheet” reference, now that we know it’s simply a resume or written personal profile.</p>
<p>It’s not so much that a resume should be attached to the college application, but that it is a handy document to have available for employment or scholarship applications, unexpected interviews, etc. When you are looking for that part-time job, internship or research opportunity, it is great to have your resume instantly available.</p>
<p>This is a “working document,” meaning you will constantly update it as you complete more classwork, community service hours and earn awards or other recognition. You will want to keep it on your computer (i.e. MS Word document) so that you can update, print and/or e-mail it as needed. Keep the latest copy on a (pocket) flash drive or in your online AOL, yahoo or hotmail folder, so that you have access to it anywhere you go.</p>
