So I feel like a total failure when typing up my resume?

[melindawarren]

My resume is a little different for job applications vs. my recruitment application and rec writing resume. That one had all of my activities, the years, and a brief description of each activity underneath it. It helped me figure out how to explain bigger commitments in a small space.

Example:
Activity--Position--Years
Description
(of course, I formatted it using tabs and all)

I also included awards (EVERYTHING), my GPA and SAT scores (I broke it down--in addition to listing the totals--because I got an 800 on the writing section!) and some other academic accomplishments (Principal's Honor Roll, 8 semesters, for example).

In retrospect, I could have included interests as well, but I think that a) my resume made my main interests super-clear (based on the activities) and b) 2 pages was enough (the descriptions made it longer).
