Including high school accomplishments in a graduate school application?
I have not applied to graduate/veterinary school yet, but I am keeping a document of all of my accomplishments and experiences to refer to when I need them. I would like to include my study abroad experiences from high school (I studied abroad in 5 countries). I did not have the opportunity to...
At what time do I make the change from a resume to a C.V.?
I really don't have any publications (just some publication-hopeful projects), but most people are telling me that I should consider changing my resume to a C.V. What is the difference? From what I've read, it has a lot of room for publications, but that would be empty space for me. #college...

How do I build a relationship with a professional?
I need letters of recommendations! And besides that, I'd like to actually get to know a professional in my intended career path to learn about daily work-life. But, so far, none of the ones I've met have really 'clicked' with me. Not to say they were not kind (they certainly were!), but none of...
