CONGRATULATIONS!

Like someone else pointed out, this is the right time to brag a bit!  And YOU deserve to show off how hard you worked.

I assume you already know how to prepare your resume.  There are plenty of on-line sites that can assist you.  As far as listing accomplishments &amp; awards, narrow the time frame.  Perhaps list just those accomplishments earned during the last 7-8 years that are both educated &amp; perhaps community based awards.  That will demonstrate that you are capable of earning recognition before you enrolled in college, and during your college experience.  You don&#039;t have to list every single award/accomplishment either.  Perhaps the top 5 or 6.  The ones that will make you shine the most when a prospective employer looks at it.

Best of luck to you :-)</description>

I would agree that tailoring the accomplishments to what seems pertinent for the role makes sense.  Also, put the BIG accomplishments, not every one you may have earned.  :)  If you can consolidate some of the smaller accomplishments into one line, that helps as well.  Just remember one thing-the resume is the one place where you are allowed to brag at least a little-it&#039;s expected.</description>

Simple and to the point. List your functions and awards. And keep it short too, no more than 2 pages. Do not use relative terms.</description>

1) If you&#039;re applying for a specific job, tailor your resume. Pick out the jobs and skills you have that are relevant to the job you want. Remember that you don&#039;t HAVE to put every single skill you have, just enough to help you get the interview. Then in the interview you can wow them with your experience face-to-face so they see you&#039;re not cocky.

2) Make sure you&#039;re honest

3) Instead of using phrases such as &quot;I improved,&quot; or such, use more subtle &quot;Enhancing...etc.&quot; Somehow too much use of the word &quot;I&quot; makes it sound like bragging.</description>
