Im not even halfway through my degree yet, but i want to start seriously looking for some vacation work experience in the field of chemical engineering. I have just heard about an expo being held on the weekend where undergraduates have an opportunity to talk to various companies about their vacation work programs and submit a resume.
When it comes to the resume, i am a little unsure about what to include. In the past, any resume i have written has been for a very specific purpose i.e. applying for a particular scholarship. For this weekend, i will need a general resume that i can submit to any company that may interest me.
Does anybody have any tips they can share? Should i include awards i won back in high school, or should i stick with more current achievements and awards? Will companies care about my personal interests, or are they more interested in things that i have done that deserve some merit? How long should my resume be?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dan.
