After reading this sample resume, you might find yourself somewhat intimidated. "How could I ever compete with someone like that?" For those of you who are near graduation, don't worry—very few have a background that strong (and if they do, Ernst & Young has probably already hired them). For those of you who have time remaining before graduation and have yet to fully develop your end product, you can still change your work experience so that you will look strong on paper.
Remember, looking good on paper is only the first step. The sample resume is provided primarily for formatting purposes. Even someone with a mediocre background will look much stronger by following that tight, concise format and structure.
One of our users recently wrote us, "One company said they called me in because it was the best resume they had seen in ten years." This format works. Use it.
