Resume Tips

If you are not sure what to include in a resume, do some brainstorming about all of your past experiences, including work-related positions, any volunteering you may have done, academics, extracurricular activities, internships, and any awards or special recognition you may have received. Once you have constructed a list of all of your experiences, start by including your college information (school, expected graduation date, major/minor), summer jobs, volunteer experiences, internships, extracurricular activities, and your skills that pertain to the position.

The JHU Life Design Lab offers assistance to those who would like feedback on their resume prior to submitting their RA application. Applicants are strongly encouraged to review the resources available via the Life Design website.
