I am updating my Resume to apply for a position at a company I have previously done 2 internships at... I'm not sure it i should put the two internships together or leave them separate in my work experience... The info is a lil different... but along the same lines... Here is how i have it set up now... Should i leave it this way... Or change it( and if so... Ex. Please) I'm trying to make it all fit on one page... but it about 3 lines too long like this... (I had to space it out a lil more on here so it would be readable)

Not sure exactly what kind of job you're applying for now, but I would first reverse the order and put work experience section on top, followed by education, then skill summary.



Also I'd be tempted to cut out the fast food job from the list, it doesn't really relate to the kind of jobs you interned with this company for before.

Yes, put your same company internships at top,

and get your supervisor(s) to send your resume along with a

letter of recommendation to the decision-maker.



This is assuming they will recommend you,

otherwise your chances may not be so good in any event.



Clearly state your objective (job title/dept) if you know it.

-- Include the age of the campers. So instead of saying "for groups of young children" rephrase it to say "for children between the ages of...(3-6 for example)". -- Instead of breaking arts and crafts by a comma, combine them. Just say: arts and crafts, games, songs, and activities.
