Résumé Tip 3

Whenever I updated my resume, I ignored- or rather forgot- the out of classr experiences that had enriched my learning experience. These experiences are important as they make a big percentage of your learning. We call this "the other curriculum," which is just as important as the academic curriculum in the classroom. Some of the outside experiences that could make a difference and set you apart from other students and job applicants are: volunteer activities, internships, leadership positions, study abroad experiences etc. Be sure to include these experiences in your resume. It could be what sets you apart from the rest. Tip 3. DO NOT FORGET TO LIST OUT OF CLASSROOM EXPERIENCES
