    [Serious] Making a Perfect Resume [Just heard from Intel... Bad news]

    So I basically have the chance of a lifetime in front of me. Intel came to my school a couple days ago and made a presentation about their internship program (only available at local Intel locations). Basically anyone who is accepted works for them as an (paid) intern between now and when they graduate college. You even get to work in areas related to whatever your major is in college (computer science for me).

    Anyway, the application requires a few things including a resume. I was wondering if anyone could help me out at making the perfect resume. Maybe someone who has been involved in the hiring process at their work. I can throw together a decent one I'm sure, but I need this resume to be the best. I need to do everything in my power to make my application look perfect.

    I'm not sure if they are looking for a job-type resume or a high school student-type resume. Does anyone know of any good websites to help with resume making?

    Also, if you have any other suggestions for making the application look awesome and stand out let me know. Here are the required parts:
    -Application form (provided in packet)
    -Cover letter
    -Transcripts (High school)
    -Personal Resume
    -Completed Questionnaire
    1. Why are you interested in the Intel Internship Program?
    2. What are you long-term career goals?
    3. When and how did you decide on this career?
    4. An engineering degree requires a lot of commitment, time and focus. How do you know that you will complete this degree?
    5. Please give some examples of other degrees you have considered, and why you've chosen engineering.
    -Letters of Recommendation (2 to 3)
    -College Acceptance Letter(s)

    Any ideas on how to make on of that look awesome. I am going to do it all on resume paper and a matching envelope. Should I call them and email them so they know my name?

    One thing they stressed really big is that this program is made to get people to work for Intel after they graduate college.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    EDIT: They accept 10 people and only 60-80 people apply. I think I have a really good chance.
