Résumé Writing
It is critical that your résumé be well done. The spelling and grammar must be correct. Show it to friends or faculty for comments. The CDC offers workshops on preparing résumés. For science internships concentrate on relevant science courses and instrumentation you have used in labs. Be specific and use the actual names of the instruments you have used. The following are examples of science résumés from juniors at MHC. They show differing styles but all are good examples: Chemistry, Biology 1, Biology 2, and Biochemistry. (You need Acrobat Reader 3.02 for Macintosh to read these files. You can download it for free from Adobe.)
A recent science student's advice on how to begin this process and how to organize the information, with important pointers, can be found here.
The MHC Career Development Center has a site on writing résumés with sample résumés and electronic resumes.
