Resume' Homework

Hello Planners,

Please have typed up your first effort at your resume' according to the template/s provided on the link provided here: Resume'.

Points to remember:

• Provide your Job Objective below your contact info. but before your skills/experience
• Your Job Objective must be a job you could and would do TODAY. You are not trained to be an architect but you could work with architects as a receptionist for example.
• The headings on your resume' ought to reflect the types of skills (groupings) and experiences you possess. Don't feel you  need to copy the headings from the examples provided. 
• The headings ought to be suited to the needs of your Job objective
• Avoid sentences; rather list attributes/skills and use active verbs. For example:

Instead of : I have a positive attitude and I am willing to work hard to make the most of opportunities.”

On your resume’ write instead:

-   Postive, hardworking, quick learner, team player

Instead of: I am self assured and relate well to people. I enjoy speaking in public.

-    Self assured, sociable, skilled public speaker

Instead of : I was the manager of my basketball team.

- Managed a team of 16 players Jr. basket ball league.

• You want the active verbs at the front of the line. These are your transferable skills
• You want the most relevant information to be closest to the top.

TYPE AND PRINT YOUR FIRST DRAFT OF YOUR RESUME' TO BRING TO CLASS NEXT DAY! THERE WILL BE A HOMEWORK CHECK.

THANKS,
