Second bullet under honors says "Selected as by donor..."
Separating your interests with diamonds looks weird.
Really? You put photoshop as a technical skill?
No internships?
Be prepared for some questions as to proficiency with Excel if you put Advanced... Just be forewarned...
Good catch about the "as by"
How would you recommend I separate my interests?
Do you think I should put photoshop under interests?
Well I do feel that advanced is appropriate, but perhaps I'll just leave it at "Microsoft Excel"
I think I destroyed it enough :P - it's actually not that bad though. At least you didn't have an objective section.
whoops.. double post
there was quite a bit of destruction in those 8 points haha
if the scholarships are at least somewhat large or hard to get, list them all on one line under education and get rid of descriptions ("Recipient of merit-based [$xx scholarship A] and [$xx scholarship b]")
if they aren't reasonably prestigious (full tuition merit award or similar), get rid of them altogether
Really? No "Chess Champion" jokes?
WAY TOO BORING, then again ive been up all night working on this deal.
any suggestions to make it more "interesting"?
Pictures and colored font
Don't let them hate on the interests section... the interests section can be key... just make sure the stuff on there is actually worth having a conversation about... My interest section was "Recreational basketball and squash, snowboarding, and microbrew and wine tasting" we talked about wine and beer in half of my interviews and it was awesome... the ones I didn't talk IPAs with I talked squash with as half of the VPs/MDs play...
I'm really impressed that you only had to beat one person to win your state's chess championship
