Resume

With my resume I hope to obtain a Graduate Assistantship so I designed it to be simple and reader friendly. I began with my objective and then included my college education followed by relevant course work that pertains to the specific job I am seeking. I then listed my work experience from the most recent backwards. i highlighted the activities and positions I held which would be most important to my success as a Grad Assistant in the Clemson Fund Office. Finally, I listed my former skills and activities that show what a versitile person I am and what a versitile employee I could be. The copy/paste made this format not come out correctly but it looks very nice in the word document!
