How to Make a Resume

How to Make a Resume:

Many thanks to Jen Hayden for sending in this article.

There are six things you must include:

your name
your phone number
your address
your GPA and current SAT score
your best 2k erg score
your height and weight

In addition to the top six, include academic history, athletic history, activities, fax #, e-mail, and anything else that you think would represent to the coach what kind of rower and student you are. However, be concise; the coach is not an admissions officer and does not need to know everything!

Here is an example resume:
