Just wondering if someone could give me a bit of advice...

I'm starting to fill out summer job applications but I've run into a bit of a problem. I had a job last summer and my contract was from June-August. However, I had to quit the job in late July (for a legitimate reason, not just because I didn't feel like working anymore). However, now I'm unsure if I should list this job on my resume. Personally I feel like it looks a bit sketchy to say that I worked from June 2011-July 2011, since summer jobs are normally all summer. I don't have any other work experience (other than volunteer work) to list on my resume.

Do you think they would find this odd?

You should definitely list it, it would be better to list it as experience then to have no experience. I don't think a 1 month job looks any worse than a 2 month job

Many students and recent graduates worry that they don’t have enough experience to create a compelling resume. Don’t be concerned. Once you start to really think about your background, you’ll be surprised at what you have to boast about. The content of your resume will be determined by your own unique experiences, skills and background but ­ as a general guideline ­ you should include:

Positive personal characteristics
Technical and computer skills
Coursework relevant to your desired profession
Educational accomplishments (include your GPA if it’s over 3.0)
Skills and experience gained during internships or summer jobs
Other related accomplishments (design awards, recognition, winning competitions etc.)
Work History (include unpaid work if it relates to your target positions)

I will be applying for an on-campus job, somewhat like a committee position in which there is only one vacancy.

They asked for both a resume and cover letter, so how do you think the format and structure should be like?
