April 24- 27, 2017

Since the resume work is taking shape, we will continue to work on them. I have looked at many of the beginnings on your disks or flash drives, and they are looking good. 

The Cover Letters are important, they catch the eye of the potential hiring agent.  I recently spoke with several people that I admire, from different businesses. Each one responsible for hiring, whether as Personnel Director or as the actual owner of a company. They all say the same thing, the Cover Letter is what they notice, what makes or breaks the hire. 

So, we will go over your cover letters a bit more, hone them. You may have an extra file on your disk. If it has my name on it, open it before you do anything else. Read it!

If you do have something from me, it is because I  am trying to go through and comment on anything that I have to offer to you about your cover letter or resume. This seemed like a simple way to do it. 

You still need to work in Aztec, whether it is before or after classes, or at home, the Learning Resource Center or wherever you have access to a computer.

School to Work Resume Sample (yes, you need one! Keeping your educational gains organized will show your potential. Keeping track of teachers and staff that can give you references is great, as well as certificates you have earned (think about the Ready for Work section of Aztec! There are certificates to earn for completing each section and for completing the whole RFW!)


Combinations Resume- No Paid Work Experience (yep, even one for this! If you have volunteered a lot, whether it is within schools, churches, other organizations, you need to keep track of those experiences. Record names of people that can vouch for your work: School staff; secretaries, teachers, civic leaders, organization members and staff)

Yes, you need a resume, and if you work as an aid, you will want to keep up with all of the personal development that you have. Put it on the resume! Keep track of supervisors, etc on the reference pages!
 Construction/Carpenter's Assistant Resume (yes, you need one!)

Housekeeping or Janitor resume (yes, you need one! especially for the references. Keep track of people you have worked for on the reference sheet! It truly does help to keep things like this organized instead of relying on memory)
