Step 1: List everything you’ve done. What have you accomplished during your high school career? Awards, honors, leadership roles, community service projects, skills, talents, work experience, etc. – write it all down.

Step 2: Decide what should go into your résumé. Once you have everything written down, cut down the text until what you have left are your most impressive accomplishments and roles. This is where a counselor, teacher, or parent could help you decide what to ultimately include in your final draft.

Step 3: Format your résumé - A general rule is to keep your entire résumé on one page (two pages, at the most).

• Contact information - Name, email address , phone number, and home address
• Education - High school name, GPA, Class rank (only include this if your rank is not highlighted on any other documents, or if it’s an emphasis for a college’s admissions process)
• Accomplishments - Next, include the accomplishments and roles you selected to go on the résumé, grouped into specific sections. For example, you may have some, or all, of these sections: Summer programs, Honors and awards, Extracurricular activities and your roles within them, Volunteer activities, Work experience, Skills and/or talents. (Each section should list the most recent accomplishments and roles first). Describe each experience in a bulleted list format, making it easily readable for admissions officials. Begin each bullet with an action verb and use concise language, including numbers that describe your accomplishments (money raised, etc.).

Step 4: After you have a draft, review and revise it. Finally, ask a counselor, teacher, friend, or parent to review your résumé. Use helpful feedback when you are making revisions.
