This week we are all working on our resume!
This is an important step for your future, please be prepared to come to class and spend as much time as possible creating and editing your resume.
Have your work experience, schooling, certificates if any listed. Think about your attributes. What is it that you can bring to the employer that they need?
Remember if you have or want to purchase a flash drive, you do not have to have a large one. If you cannot or do not wish to have a flash drive, we will have CD-R (thanks to Ms. Piña who is going to provide them for us at no cost). I need to know ahead of time so that we can make sure there are enough to go around.
The lesson is going to revolve around creating your cover letter and the actual resume. On Monday, we are going to read from this site, ResumeGuys, which is marvelous at explaining what you need and what you don't in your resume.
Most of us will create a chronological resume. You can choose a different format if you think it will benefit you, this will become clear when we are reading and working during class.
This is a real resume so make it neat, tidy, naturally truthful.
If you already have a resume-
Bring it to class. If it is on a disk or a flash drive that is great, it can be printed as well.
We will go over it and polish it up to make it look it's best!
👷 Remember, this site is under construction👷 Come back often!
***I've added a few links to my Live Binders (remember that you can access this by the link at the left of this page). The links are under Computer Literacy and deal with resumes.
Check out Youtube for any videos on creating resumes.
