Student Planning Guide
Sample Resume
While looking for service sites abroad, it may be useful to have a cover letter and resume handy so that potential service sites can view your request and begin to formally discuss your options.
A cover letter should only be one page long, and should demonstrate what your resume may not, like personal values, motivation for serving, or interest in the issue or study abroad location. Here is an example:
Insert Your Name Here
Insert Address • Insert Phone Number • Insert E-Mail Address
EDUCATION
University Name, Location, Graduating [Insert Year]

Name of Position or Role

Repeat for other jobs/service positions you have had that are relevant to the job that you are applying for.

**Final note: your resume should only be one page long! If you are having trouble making it just one page, try to adjust the margins, spacing, or font size.**
