Hi, Reader!

With the special launch price of my new on-demand resume writing course ending tomorrow, I thought I’d answer a few questions that people have asked.

Q: I'm not applying to colleges yet. Why should I start writing my resume now?

A: High schoolers of any age are encouraged to get a head start on their resume. It's easier to document their activities and involvement as they participate, and this gives them the perfect structure for doing so.

Juniors will also want to start thinking about letters of recommendation the SPRING of their junior year, and having this start to the resume will make things even easier for them and will help their teachers write better letters of recommendation.

A well-planned resume can help students of any age improve their chances of getting jobs and internships.

Q: Are resumes important for applying to UT-Austin and A&M?

A: UT-Austin and A&M are unique in that they admit students to the SCHOOL first and THEN to the major. Both schools look for what's called "fit to major." That means they're looking at your major-related experience, like internships, activities, and more.

A strong resume that shows your fit with your top-choice major can improve your chances of being accepted into that major, although it's not guaranteed.

For UT, showing you're a good fit for your top-choice major through your resume is increasingly important.

For A&M, resumes can support your admission into a major, but they appear to be more important for engineering majors.

Even if you're an auto-admit to the schools, you're not guaranteed acceptance into your major. This means a resume can be another important part of the admissions puzzle.

Q: Can't I write my resume without the help of this course?

A: Absolutely. There are plenty of resources online to guide you.

However, this course walks you through each step of the process — ideal for students who are applying to selective schools or scholarships that require a resume and for students who want to make sure their resumes are strong and effective. My step-by-step instructions and companion guide will help you do just that.

If you have any questions of your own before grabbing your course access for just $67, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Happy Resume Writing,

Julia
