D. Education:
The A+ Summer Jobs resume tool contains detailed instructions about what to include based on whether you are a high school student, high school graduate, college student, college graduate or graduate student. So be sure to follow those instructions when creating your resume.
We recommend you list your grade point average (GPA) only if it's a "B" average or higher.
E. Awards and Activities: Here you can mention community activities, volunteer positions, and hobbies. In short, put down any information you feel is relevant both to the person you are and to the need of your potential employer. You may enter an unlimited number of awards and up to three activities.
F. References: The general rule is to simply state at the end of the resume:
References available upon request.
However, since A+ Summer Jobs makes the application process easier for both job seekers and employers, we offer the capability to include three references.
When preparing your reference list, be sure to:
- Get your reference's permission before you list his or her name. Of course this requirement varies with how well you know the person, but if you have any doubt, ask first.
- After your references are assembled, make a list with your name, address, and employment objective identical to your resume, and list your references by name, the capacity in which he or she knew you (i.e. supervisor), their place of employment, and their email address and telephone number.
Conclusion
That’s just about it for your resume! The only other thing you have to do is format the document to look good, which A+ Summer Jobs does automatically! If you're not using A+ Summer Jobs, try searching the web for "resume templates" and you will probably find a few good options. Please be sure to scan any MS Word templates before opening - they can carry viruses that may harm your computer.
