Representing yourself:

• Who are you?
• Where can you be reached?
• What education do you have? Consider places you have learned things other than school.
• For experience, pick something interesting about yourself, such as places visited, unusual things you have done, hobbies, jobs you have done, or anything like that
• Your resume represents how you present yourself. Is it neat or unorganized? Is it overly simple or complicated? Is it easy to read? Is it grammatically correct? Do you have any misspelled words?
