Here are some ways to use the printable resume to help you get on the right track towards starting at your dream college:

1. Provide your printed resume as an “activity list” to your counselor when asking for a letter of recommendation. Once senior year rolls around, you can get ahead of asking your teachers and counselors for recommendation letters as part of the college application process. Download and print or share your RaiseMe portfolio with your recommender, and save yourself time to focus on building the right college list, crafting your personal statement, or applying for financial aid.
2. Use the printed resume for job or internship applications. Many job or internship applications will ask that you submit a resume as part of your application! RaiseMe’s printed portfolio is neatly formatted and can be downloaded with the simple click-of-a-button if you need a resume in a pinch.
3. Applying for outside scholarships? Share your printed resume as a supplement to your application. On top of completing all the other eligibility requirements for applying for outside scholarships on Fastweb or other sources, sharing a resume as part of your application can act as as proof of all of your hard work and accomplishments that make you a great candidate to receive those scholarship funds.
