If you don't have one already, then you'll definitely need to make a resume before your senior year. A resume should have the following things:
- Education
- Work experience
- Extra-curricular activities
- Volunteer work / Community service
- Awards and recognition
- Skills
Education includes high school, dual enrollment, high school grades or AP/IB courses, educational camps you went to, and any academies you might attend. Work experience is any job or internship. Extra-curricular activities are things you do OUTSIDE of school such as any sports or musical orchestras. Community service is ANY volunteer work you do. Awards and recognition include any scholastic, athletic, musical, artistic, or volunteer awards, any officer positions held in any clubs, any scholarships you've received, or anything you were academically and officially recognized for. Skills are just certain things you can do that would seem beneficial to the person you're sending your resume to, such as instruments you play, languages you speak, etc. Everything should be organized by most recent to oldest. Any activity that continues to the present should be the first one.
Organization is key. Make sure everything on your resume looks neat and consistent before finalizing it.
