my freshman and sophomore years, I tutored a seventh grader twice a week in English and
social studies. Additionally, during the spring of my junior year, I had a job at The
Bookworm, a local bookstore. |

Walter here is an excellent applicant, so
don't worry if your resume doesn't fill out quite like his. He's good at
sports, good at journalism, and participates in community service programs. Dividing up
the extracurricular activities accentuates all these things, and his work experience backs
up his strength in journalism and his interest in English. When listing activities or
awards, list the things that you've done the longest or look most
"impressive" first.
Now let's take a look at our second applicant. |
