How to compose your high school resume for college

Choose an Adobe Spark Layout or Template

Present your resume using a clean, professional one-page layout. Keeping that in mind, decide on a layout that best suits your needs. If you’re eager to showcase your extracurricular section, make sure the template you choose will give you enough space for everything you plan to include. Use concise language to minimize text, keep your margins at 1 inch, and arrange your sections with space in between. Choose a serif font for professionalism and black type on a white page to make your resume easy to print. Use design tools such as bolding or capitalizing headers to create hierarchy and bullet points for organization.
Organize Your Information

Using the outline presented earlier in this article, you can begin to fill out your details in your Adobe Spark layout. The top priority is your name and personal details so place those in the header. Next is your academic information. After that, you can choose either recognitions, extracurriculars, or skills in any order based on what you’re most excited to share.
Present Yourself

Be clear and concise with your presentation. Use unique language that describes great detail in few words. Emphasize important points such as your strongest skills or greatest accomplishments. When making a statement about an achievement or leadership role, provide dates and detail to give insight into your experience.
Proofread Your Draft

Explore multiple drafts to help you arrive at the best presentation possible.
