When writing a resume...

I have a few questions regarding resumes and etc.

Do most pharmacy schools have a limit on how long a resume should be? I'd like to make my resume as descriptive as possible but if there is a limit, then I would need to cut down on some of the descriptions and information.

Also on a resume, would it a better idea to indicate the number of hours I have volunteered/worked or not mention anything at all?

THANKS 👍

I wrote a CV for my applications, and it was 3 pages long.

If you are using pharmCAS, it is rare for a school to request a resume. You will be asked to list hours/week and total hours for work, volunteering, etc. on PharmCAS.

Typically resumes should be limited to one page. CVs can be much longer.

Midwestern AZ/IL requires it 🙁.

If they ask specifically for a resume, turn in a one-page resume.
If they ask for a CV or Resume, I'd turn in a CV because it gives you the chance to be more descriptive
