The books and the "experts" change their minds every few years about what a resume should look like. That allows them to remain "experts" and getting paychecks.
I'd probably be real surprized on what form should be used these days. I'm sure mine doesn't match it. But, I have thirty-five years of experience -- and, in the end, that's what counts.
As a hiring manager, here's how I look at a resume:
What is the person's work experience? How long did he/she stay in each position? Did the applicant show advancement? What education level does he/she have and what college did he/she attend?
And I considered things pretty much in that order.
So, to weave all of that back into the context of the thread, let me say this. If you have little meaningful experience in your chosen profession, it can't hurt to list a couple of more meaningful extracurriculars. As you get experience, drop them off the bottom.
Since I just posted an answer to your "resume tape" thread, I know that you may be considering a broadcasting career. The SINGLE most important thing in that field is getting a job ANYWHERE, and learning as much as you can.
