Resume for Recruitment

[carnation]

Two major things: first, if you have an award or club that's a huge big deal in your area but women at OSU may not know what it is, enlighten them! Our kids' high school had a multiracial dance team that was really hard to get into and they were so good that they were in the 1996 Olympics opening ceremonies. Now if a PNM had just put "Color Connection" on her resume, the sorority women may have wondered what it was and ignored it. If she had briefly explained about CC, that surely would have been a major item in her favor.

Another thing: eliminate the little fillers, like 1 year of I don't know, the Birdwatching Club or a semester of Spanish Club. They'll only detract from your major activities.

Even if you participated in them for FOUR years, some activities look like filler. At my school, Spanish/French Club pretty much consisted of having a meeting once a month... no real activities, no impact. So if you were so involved that you're trying to figure out what to cut, cut those in general and it will free up some space for more involved activities.

I say - when in doubt, put it ALL down!

I do like things divided by class years, though I tend to discount the 9th and 10th grade activities.

Don't forget to list church activities, if you have them...and I always like to see part-time jobs.
