If you have trouble identifying your skills, see our Hidden and Transferable Skills page. Generally, a 3.0 or better is preferred.

Employers like to see improvement.
It is okay to include scholarship information if you think it is relevant to the job for which you are applying. You may decide to include a separate heading for your activities if you were very involved with student or community organizations while in high school. But please do not include information from high school unless it is truly exceptional. For more information on the distinctions between these three types, visit the Career Resource Center in the Fine Arts Library and look through our resume books. You are also encouraged to visit with the career advisor in Fine Arts Career Services who is trained to help you make the most of your resume.
