Needless to say, they are not in the order they should appear in a CV. Try to order them in the following box, and then click on "answer": Remember that you should only use the information that is relevant to your own experience and your job goal. It is necessary, however, to know what kind of information may we include in each one of the headings. The following is a more careful explanation:
HONORS. List any academic awards (scholarships, fellowships, honors list), professional awards or recognition, or community awards (i.e. for athletic skills). SKILLS. List computer languages and software, research, laboratory, teaching or tutoring, communication, leadership, or athletic, among others. ACTIVITIES. List academic, professional, or community organizations in which you hold office or are currently a member; list professional and community activities, including volunteer work. Listing extra-curricular activities or hobbies is optional. REFERENCES. If required, include letters of reference from teachers or tutors. source: The Writing Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.htm |
