Sample Student Resume
High school students who are looking to secure admission into a good college or college students who have just completed their graduation often look out for relevant jobs that will act as a stepping stone for their careers or will help them in covering the expenses required for their education. Fresh from the academic world, part time or entry-level jobs give these students a taste of real world applications of their studies. It also grooms them for their professional careers in the future. A student's resume should list all achievements and brief description about additional skills. As these are the first jobs in the life of most of these students, prior work experience is not expected by the hiring organizations and thus is not a mandatory field in this resume.
