Contact Information: should be at the top of
your resume—include name, address, phone
number, and e-mail (if you have it). Separate
it out by centering it and making it bold. If you
have a college address separate from a home
address, use both. Make sure you use a reliable
phone number that you answer and an email
address that is accurate and long term (your
school email address will go away when you
graduate).
Education: include graduation date and GPA if
it is 3.0 or higher. May include ACT score if it is
requested in scholarship application.
Formatting Experiences: (2 options)
1. Heading line (include title and dates)
followed by bulleted list—see Work
Experience as example.
2. Heading line (include title and date) followed
by narrative list
Writing About Experiences

bullet with an active verb such as : maintained,
coordinated, organized, participated, etc..
Project Experience Here is where you list the
4-H projects you have participated in and how
many years in each
Awards This section is intended to highlight
your major awards in the 4-H program and
not each individual ribbon placing you received

Headings The expected headings would
be: education, work/job experience,
awards, leadership, community service, and
participation. Be sure to keep your 4-H headings
at the top of the resume and your Other

as on this template.

• Major headings (like ‘Education’) on the left, then indent with
additional information below—for example, notice how Albany
County 4-H is lined up below Wyoming Public Library.

point size.
Other things to remember:
• Proofread, proofread, proofread!
• Check for punctuation and spelling.
• Check for format and style consistency.
• Show your resume to a friend.
