Pick a resume format to use. A functional resume will focus on your skills rather than chronological work history, but the specific format you use depends on your personal preference.
Head your resume with your name, phone number and student email address. The position of this section on the page will depend on the format you've chosen for your resume. List your campus address followed by your home address. Personalize this depending on your living situation, whether you live on campus, off campus or at home.
Create an education section. List your college information first including your starting date, your projected graduation date and your course of study or major. Your high school information should be listed next to include start and graduation dates, GPA and extracurricular activities. If you have any continuing education such as CPR or First Aid certifications, art classes or writing workshops, create a sub-section to list these along with completion dates and expiration dates where applicable.
Add any internships to which you have been accepted to or those you have already completed. List the company name first along with the dates of the internship, general responsibilities, and any course credit earned.
List any work or volunteer experience -- such as camp counseling, retail, child care -- followed by specific dates, achievements accomplished while at that job and general responsibilities. Use phrases that are direct and clearly demonstrate what you did. For example, "Managed a team of four and set bi-weekly schedules" sounds better than "General team management and scheduling." Make your resume demonstrate how your past experiences can be applied to the new position and how these specifics highlight your organizational abilities and trustworthiness, for example.
Create a skills section. Include language skills such as your ability to speak and read French, and computer skills such as proficiency in Microsoft and Excel programs. Add the length of time you have been studying and using these skills.
End your resume on a brief, personal note by creating an interests section. Include your hobbies and sports you enjoy, as well as the length of time you have participated in them. Do not include this section if it makes your resume more than a single page, the optimal length for student resumes.
