Is it necessary or important?  \n● It is ABSOLUTELY important. Resumes are one of my favorite things to make and help others make because it showcases who a person is and his/her talents all in one place. You can truly showcase your accomplishments and interests when you create a resume the right way.  \n● The Goal: To showcase your story and your personal brand in one page. You want to provide a summary of your experiences, achievements, abilities, and skills. This is a tool in which you will be able to sell and brand yourself to colleges, scholarship committees, leadership orgs, employers, and more.  \n○ Another thing to consider is that your resume is often used in order to decide who will move on to an interview.  \nFormat  \n● Template – Utilize a standardized template. Do not start from a blank document, or else you WILL get confused and lost.  \n● Font – Use professional font like Times New Roman at 10-12 points. Do not use crazy fonts thinking it will make you stand out positively. Professionalism is important.  \n● Organization--is KEY here! You want to eliminate any confusion and want it tobe as clear as possible.  \nLayout  \n• Sections –  \na.  Name & Personal Info: home address, email (appropriate professional email), personal phone number  \nb.  Education: Southwest Covenant Schools, unweighted GPA, ACT/SAT (typically whichever is higher) & ACT/SAT Superscore, Class rank (if it helps)  \nc. Work Experience: Jobs, Internships, Personal business, Side Hustle if applicable and helpful, etc.  \nd. Leadership Experience: Clubs & Organization involvement, volunteer, mission trips, church, teen boards, etc.  \ne. Additional: Relevant Skills, Interests, Activities, Awards, Scholarships, etc.(if applicable)  \n● One Page – Ensure your resume is no longer than one page, but the goal is to have a FULL one page.  \n● White Space – Reduce AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, otherwise your resume may seem sparse and lacking  \n● Relevant Information – Prioritize most important accomplishments first (if you do not like this format, organize by date of involvement)  \n○ All of this information should only be from high school  \nContent  \n● Active Language – use action verbs to enhance readability  \n● Simplicity – Make it brief and easy to digest (one line bullets preferred)  \n● Numbers – Employers/colleges/scholarship committees are very responsive to measurable proven value. Showcasing numerical impact allows reviewers to grasp the scope of to what level you contributed/performed  \n● Adaptability--this is a living and breathing document. Do not just make one  \nresume and submit it for every single application that requires a resume. A resume is used to showcase how your prior experience fits into what you are applying for.  \n○ EX: If you are applying for a scholarship for pre-med students, but your  \nresume is all about your experiences that do not relate in any  \nway/shape/form to your interest in medicine, that would be pointless. Be prepared to make multiple versions based on what you are applying for. You will likely not make completely different versions based on what you are applying for, just slight modifications.  \nTips  \n• Margins – adjust & create custom margins to create more space if needed  \n• Font – reduce white space by adjusting font size (must still be easily readable though. Use your best judgement. Absolutely no smaller than 8/10 point font.  \n• Proofread and Edit – the more 3rd parties that proofread the better! Do not be afraid to ask people to review your resume. You may think it is the clearest document in the world, but then you submit it and reviewers could be completely confused. Do not risk that-suggest at least 5 people review it for you. Parents, teachers, Mrs. Bowers, work/leadership references. They may be able to help you accurately describe your achievements in a more professional way that you did not think of before.  \nJantzen Michael Griswold  \n5350 S Frisco Rd Yuk","cbCailGKoGTprttE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailGKoGTprttE","pdf",160918,"English","# Format\n## Template\n## Font\n## Organization\n# Layout\n## Sections\n## One Page\n## White Space\n## Relevant Information\n# Content\n## Active Language\n## Simplicity\n## Numbers\n## Adaptability","[{\"question\":\"What is the main goal of a resume?\",\"answer\":\"A resume’s goal is to showcase a person’s story and personal brand on one page, summarizing experiences, achievements, abilities, and skills.\"},{\"question\":\"What formatting and layout choices help the resume stand out?\",\"answer\":\"Use a standardized template, professional fonts (Times New Roman, 10–12 pt), clear organization, strong section structure, and keep it to one page with intentional white space.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the content be written and adjusted for applications?\",\"answer\":\"Use active action verbs, keep bullets brief, emphasize measurable numbers, and tailor the resume to match what each scholarship or program requires.\"}]","How to Build a Standout Resume - Actionable Guide | PDF",1789419716]
