Need to make a resume... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Okay, I wasn't sure where to put this, so if it's in the wrong place, please move it..
Anyways, what should I put in my resume? Should I put my ACT and SAT scores? If I leave out my college GPA, should I also leave out my high school GPA? I don't really know what to put on a resume..

Since you are applying for a Platoon Leaders class, you need to focus on anything that says you have responsibility.

Based on your limited information, I would on your high cum highschool GPA WHILE working, any promotions or raises you got, your flight experience (this impressed me), and then possibly your ACT/SAT scores.

A resume can either focus on work EXP or school, so obviously you will go with a school focus.

If you have MSWORD, there are resume examples that can help you.

Good luck!

If you have any college experience, and you areach a certain age, your high school career really doesn't need to be on a resume, you are young enough, and stilll in college, that it's worth putting down on your resume.

For an employer, your SAT and ACT scores really don't mean much, so there's not much of a reason to put it on your resume, but for your purposes, it might be worth it.

Private Pilot Liscence is impressive, you set a goal, and stuck to it and achived it, as an employer, I would want to know that.

You also held a job for 2 years... and didn't jump from position to positon, never lasting more than 2 months at a job.

write out high school name.

Give city/state of restaurant
as well as any responsibilities you might have had

Explain briefly, what the leadership conference is, but that is a good thing

Oh yeah, forgot to say that everything is spelled out, and I have the name and state for the schools and jobs.

I kinda ran into a block with my job responsibilities though... For cook I had this: "Responsible for food preparation and quality." But I could not think of a good way to write my responsibilities as dishwasher, so I left it all blank. I don't know what to put for the leadership conference either...

It seems good to me, the only thing that I can suggest is, under 'cook' and 'dishwasher' try to put a brief description of what your responsibilities were. Your resume should be detailed but short. Good luck!
