Better than the girl who wanted a congressional internship and came in wearing a ruffled (no joke) suit jacket, to hand me her scented and textured resume.

My only concern is that It will come off as me stating that I have two degrees, and I’m tying to state that I have a dual degree which is not the same as having two degree.

School Name Date of Degree(right margin blog format messes this up)
Bachelor of Arts in Blah;Bachelor of Science in Blah
Cumulative GPA:3.5/4.0



The key to a resume is to be consistent through out the document. I correct resumes for an internship. Dont matter how you do it, just be consistent.
