Help with writing a resume?(:?
Question by .: Help with writing a resume?(:?
Last year, my writing teacher went over on how to write a resume so I do have my format down. However, what I’m questioning on right now is how I can edit my information (I wrote my resume last year). My teacher went over what type of information to put down and everything but I need to change everything I wrote because all of my information pertains to my 8th grade year (I am now a freshman in high school).
Questions:
-Under my “Educations” category, should I still include my middle school years or should I just write down my high school education now and erase my former years? Also, what other type of information should I include? As of right now I have my school name, its address, its town, and the years I’ve attended it thus far.
-Similar to the latter, under my “Extra Curriculars Activity”, should I erase my middle school information and just put down my after school activities in high school? The one thing that makes me unsure of deleting everything that I’ve done in middle school is the fact that I was REALLY involved in middle school. My high school activities have been reduced to two things: volleyball and drama club, because I wanted to get used to the school transition before joining clubs again. Should I just leave my middle school work alone or would it look too cluttered, and begin anew with high school? As well, is there anything else that I should add to this category?
My categories are: Objectives, Education, Extra Curricular Activities, Interests, and Skills. Is there any other type of information I should add? Also, if it would help, I can post my resume online (crucial informations being omitted, of course XD) so you can get a more personal gist of it.
Thank you!!

yes, you should erase everything from middle school and only list activities you’ve done in high school unless you’ve continued doing it.
you could add in volunteer experience, work experience, awards, and clubs.
