I greatly disagree with seeallsides. You want to show the big 4 that you are extremely professional, and while those ideas are creative, they are not the most professional.

Some tips:

1. Don’t use a template you find online and just fill it out. They can tell, and it looks silly.

2. Use very strong adjectives and verbs to describe your tasks and responsibilities

3. Explain your roles quantitatively. For example, “managed team of 6”, “responsible for 4 reports, including ___”, etc.

4. Prepare a cover letter explaining why you are fit for the position. Make sure that this is not a generic cover letter, and that it shows why you are specifically interested in THEIR company and how you would be a great asset to them.

Hope this helps.

really depends what you plan on using it for. for some people, like my brother, 8 gb is more than they’ll ever use. they like to have a few CDs worth of music that they listen to over and over. for me, i use almost all 80 gb of my ipod. but i use it completely differently–i load music, videos, and photos. in addition to all that, i often use it as a flash drive. another thing to consider is if you plan on listening more to music or shiurim. 1 shiur will take up significantly more space than 1 song.

good luck!
