A resume is very simple, it’s a one-page document showcasing you. Whether you’re applying for your first job, a scholarship or an undergraduate program, the idea of the resume stays exactly the same. You want to give the reader an idea of who you are and your general qualities.
High school resumes can include:
Academic Achievements/Awards/Honors
Leadership Experience
In School Clubs & Out of School Activities
Employment
Community Service/Volunteer Work
Summer Activities
Travel
Additional Skills
Interests & Hobbies
Your resume doesn’t have to include all of these sections, but you want to make the page looks balanced without too much white space. If you can’t think of any awards or honors, then don’t include that section. The categories above help you to organize your list of activities and experiences. It’s all a matter of showing what you have accomplished. Only list an activity once - choose which category to include it in and add years you participated. Add a descriptive sentence for those activities that are not self-explanatory.
