For Graduates

If you have just graduated, there is no need to pretend on your resume that you are more experienced than you really are. You'd better use the functional resume format and include the following sections:

• Educational background
• Awards, honors, scholarships, fellowships, certificates, or distinctions
• Associations, clubs, school newspaper, and other extracurricular activities
• Any internship, volunteer work, part-time, temporary, or seasonal jobs
