Resume

You will have to submit and present a resume on Thursday.  Since you probably do not have a lot of work experience, you'll have to be more creative and broad than what adults produce.  Focus on what you CAN do, and being able to prove it in some way.  Most jobs for teens are focused on giving skills you'll build from as you get older; time management, customer service, professional language, etc.

Please read through the first two links below BEFORE starting to work on your own.

  1. Read THIS (It's about building your first resume).
  2. Check out another sample here.

Then, choose a template from here (you'll have to scroll down a bit) that captures your spirit and personality (do not pick one that is too flowery - avoid glitter, emojis, and unicorns).  If you do not like any of those, Google is your friend: search for "High School Student Resume Template" or derivations thereof.

Finally, start transferring material from your Resume-Building worksheet and WICOR Proof-of-Acquisition packet into your resume.  Print one out for Thursday.
