Sample Resume

Below is an example of a resume for a college student who has a combination of professional work experience, charitable work, and volunteer experience. Some students find it quite hard to promote themselves. They feel they do not have "real" work experience. GMRS helps students identify the skills they have gained from all of their experiences (charitable work, school committees, part time work etc..) and uses those as a foundation to  create an effective resume.
