Resume Question/Advice Needed
Posted: Thu May 29, 2014 12:58 am
1L here, and I am tuning up my resume for upcoming job fairs and need some advice.
(1) Second semester grades haven't been posted, but am required to bid on positions by Friday. I was approx. top 38% after 1st semester grades. However, I calculated this percentile based on the calculator posted on TLS as my school only lists GPA percentiles in 5% increments. Should I just note my GPA and in parenthesis note (top 1/3=X GPA)? Or should I leave it off? Would having no percentile ranking reflect badly on my resume?
(2) Is there an example of adding positions that I am currently doing for the summer on the resume? Does one just put the position w/o a description even if I have worked on the job for 2 weeks doing some tasks?
(3) For minority job fairs w/grade cut offs, how flexible or inflexible are the requirements. I want to allocate bids accordingly and was wondering would someone such as me have a shot at positions that require top 1/4 or top 1/3 class ranks?
Sorry for all the questions but thanks for all the help! Greatly appreciate it.
