Seniors: Don’t Let Your Extracurricular Résumé Die!

Posted on May 28, 2016 by Craig

It’s late May, which means that many high school seniors are just days away from graduation. Other students have just graduated. The natural impulse for many students is to turn a page on all that happened in high school and have a lot of summer fun before college. Lost in the transition is often the résumé students write for their college applications. It’s so important that students moving on to college not let their college applications’ extracurricular résumés die! This video explains why.

If you didn’t put together an extracurricular résumé for your college applications, start one now using our online course, which will give you the perfect format to start organizing your extracurricular, and eventual professional, resume.
