resume choices

Name and Contact info should always be on top

If you include a scholarship, be clear about what it was awarded for

While it makes sense for now, be aware that high school will drop off your resume as you gain experience

Only use the number of points you need to accurately and comprehensively summarize your experience, whether that’s one or five

Splitting your experiences into ‘Artistic’ and ‘Additional’ allows you to maintain chronological order (most recent on top) while still putting your relevant art experience first. No art experience yet? Consider adding a ‘Relevant Coursework’ section

Never use ‘me’, ‘my’, or ‘I’ on your resume

The skills you highlight (put first) shouldchange depending on what you’re applying for

Most relevant goes on top

When you start applying for full time jobs, use

a gmail or email since thishas ‘student’
