Is typing a resume for school students different from typing a resume for university/college and etc students?
thanks 🙂

A resume sells YOU! It is a personal summary of your experiences and qualifications for the position you are seeking. Often the first contact you have with employers is your resume. It informs them of your accomplishments, educational and personal background, work experience, and interests. Your resume tells an employer:
Who you are;
What you know;
What you have done.
Resume Outline
Begin by filling out a resume worksheet. It will help you organize the information you will be using in the resume. A good resume will include:
Education College:
Include: Area of concentration; major and minor; indicate you are a candidate for a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science; expected date of graduation; academic achievements, honors, awards; extra-curricular activities (sports, clubs, committees).
Education High School/Secondary School:
Include: Name and location of your high school; year of graduation; major programs studied; academic achievements; honors, science fair awards; all of your extra-curricular activities. Pertinent advanced courses such as drafting, computer technology, physics, calculus, machine shop and/or electronics should also be included.
Computer Background:
List all computer languages you know and computer systems you are familiar with. Also, add special computer related experiences, i.e. owning a personal computer, writing programs, etc..
Work Experience:
Include all work experiences, full or part-time, paid or volunteer. In reverse chronological order, the most recent being first, list the position you held, specific duties, place of employment and location, and dates of employment. The description of the duties of each job should emphasize the tasks performed, indicating specialties learned, skills developed, scope of responsibility, and results achieved. Of particular importance are experiences illustrating leadership potential, organizational ability, communication skills, ingenuity, and teamwork. Use Action Verbs! Answer the question “What did I do?”!
Interests/Hobbies:
Include all hobbies that you have and are involved in outside of school; Model Building, Chess, Auto Mechanics, Debating, Painting, Kits, Training Aardvarks.
Community and Service Activities:
Include all community and service related activities you were involved with in high school or are presently involved.
References:
Under the heading “References” the statement, “References will be supplied upon request” will suffice. (It is important, however, that you are prepared to give at least three references when filling out your company application form).

Writing the Resume
A good resume is brief and concise, typed neatly in block form with no errors. It must be easy to read. When preparing your resume, cover the following points:
Limit yourself to one page only. As a rule, two page resumes are acceptable when you have over ten years of experience. Employers prefer to read only one page.
Put your resume on a floppy disc and print it on the best letter quality printer available. Have an offset printer make copies or use a good, clean duplicating or photocopying machine. Do not mimeograph your resume!
Type or print it on 8″ X 11″ plain white bond paper in block form. Avoid erasable bond – it smudges. Use 1 inch margins on both sides and 1/2 to 1 inch margins on the top and bottom of the page. Double space between each section of the resume.
Spelling must be accurate. Use your dictionary or your spell check.
Use clear and concise statements describing your experiences. Use proper grammar and punctuation.
Use a heading at the beginning of each section. Set it off by typing it in all caps or underlining the heading.
Under the headings “Education” & “Experience,” the most recent should be listed first.
Have someone review your resume before you type it in final form.
When describing your experiences use action verbs that will stand out and tell the employer that you have really done something.
