Think of a resume as the most important tool you have to sell yourself to future employers. It outlines your skills and experiences so an employer can see, at a glance, what you could bring that organization. A resume has one goal: to get your foot in the door! A résumé makes an instant and lasting impression.

Your resume should focus on your accomplishments. In your part-time jobs and summer internships you were hired for a reason. You completed projects. The projects had goals and objectives and solved current challenges. The project's goals and objectives are your accomplishments. When reviewing your past projects ask yourself 'Why?" "Why did they have me do that?" Be sure to articulate those accomplishments in your resume.
