Left align everything - bullet points, section headers (why are they in the middle?). Center your address and phone number. Are you graduating December 2020? If not you won't qualify for IB internships next summer - if you are, make sure to indicate that.

Bottom skills section should have its own header and not be in grey. Also, just read what you wrote for skills: "Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Office." Standardize your "skills" and remove Office.

Don't list basketball and pickup basketball. Also don't say you're a 6ers fan, plenty of Philly haters. Probably not a big deal but remember recruiters are looking for a reason to ding you.

 

Here are a few formatting suggestions:

  • Right align the dates and locations - you do this by adding tab stops to the right side and right-aligning at that position
  • Use the 'Month Year' format for date ranges (except class year); at the very least use something consistent because you have different formats between experience and leadership dates
  • Consider bolding section headers
  • Consider adding a new section called 'Additional Information' or something for the last two lines
