Resume Writing

Welcome!

Towards the end of Year 8 and beginning of Year 9, many students are entering the workforce.

To assist them, we want to begin by creating their first resume.

At this early stage, it is probably easiest for students to just use Word, you may direct them to using one of the templates on here.

Their resume should include:

• Their contact information (including name, address, contact phone number, etc)
• Their date of birth
• Any past volunteering experience they may have. This could include: working in the canteen for their sports team, assisting in their family business, participating in a charity raffle for a community event, etc.
• Any notable school experiences (musical, debating, etc.)
• An introduction to soft skills (time management, empathy, communication, listening, confidence, work ethic, etc.)

Below you will find some resources which may be of use, if you are unsure where to go next.
