Then use your computer word processing program to create a format that highlights your activities best. For example, if you are very athletic you may have a section for athletic participation and another for athletic honors and awards. If you have held numerous leadership positions, you could list them together. In each section of your resume, you should always begin with your most recent activity, and you should not go back before 9 th grade.
