In addition to providing an important supplement to your college or scholarship application, a one-page résumé provides a quick glimpse into who you are for people writing recommendation letters (see examples following this activity).  A typical academic résumé will provide a one-page listing of your:

• Academic record, i.e., GPA, coursework, SAT/ACT scores
• Employment history
• Extracurricular activities, i.e., work, activities, clubs, organizations, community service
• Honors and Awards
