Creative Resume Writing

Lorraine Said:

What are good things to have on a resume for UC Berkeley College?

We Answered:

Extracurricular activities that tie into what you want to do professionally--namely, journalism, are best. Here are some tips for which to include:

1. Managing People and Events

Have you acted as a leader in any of your extracurricular activities? Been captain of the football team? Editor-in-chief at your school newspaper? Mention it on your resume!

Managerial skills, even in your school newspaper, demonstrate your ability to work with and organize a group–an impressive extracurricular activity!

2. Study Abroad and Foreign Language Programs

Proficiency in more than one language is a valuable asset anywhere you go, including the workplace. Your attempt at learning another language (however successful), looks attractive on a resume.

Studying abroad demonstrates a desire to explore new cultures and the ability to integrate quickly with other people, which is a valuable skill in the workplace.

3. Community Service

As a resume extracurricular activity, it doesn’t get much better than community service. This shows that you’re a self-starter, that you’re selfless, and that you care about the community that you’re part of. With enough resume extracurricular activities like these, you’ll be preparing for a job interview in no time.

4. Writing & Technical Experience

If you have writing experience or technical training, these are great resume extracurricular activities to include. Even if they seem unrelated, these skills are useful in nearly all workplaces.

Being able to express yourself, in English or HTML, is a skill that companies greatly value, so let your resume tell them how experienced you are!

5. Long-Term Dedication

If you’ve had a job or extracurricular activity that you’ve worked on for a long period of time, mention it on your resume even if it doesn’t relate to the job you’re applying for.

The ability to commit to a specific task for an extended period of time is an admirable and attractive aspect of resume extracurricular activities.

Good luck!

Colleen Said:

What are some good skills to put on a resume? And how do I make it sound professional?

We Answered:

I think that all sounds like it belongs in a cover letter more than the resume. Resume is actual job experience and factual qualifications, cover letter is more description of who you are and why you want the job and why they should want you for the job. If you don't have any actual job experience, I would list school accomplishments (awards? gpa?) and any sort of relevant work (even babysitting) on your resume, as well as facts (the exact speed you can type - check out Yahoo's game page and play TyperShark and it'll tell you how fast you type). Also, be sure to list plenty of references if you don't have much obviously applicable experience.
