Hi all,

I have trouble building my resume.
From my understanding resume is shorter than a CV
I want to know what science majors, especially Physics, usually included in their resume.

Will research projects be included?

Any online resource, guides will also be helpful..
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I am very curious to know this as well. I am considering a physics major and don't want just a list of classes I took at the end of my degree. I want a large skill set that I can show off to potential employers, but will I only get those skills in engineering, CS, or applied math classes?
 
I am curious what people usually put in their resume..
A resume is needed for some research projects..
 
Mine has a list of research employment, along with a short description of what that entails, a list of relevant physics/math coursework, a list of programming/computer/other skills which are relevant to physics (not things like "Hard working leader knows how to get things done"), and of course the obligatory list of educational institutions...

Somewhat sparse maybe, but these things only grow with time.
