College and Career Readiness
College and Careers OverviewThinking about life outside of high school can be both exciting and nerve wracking. Here are a few resources I've found that can be helpful with this process, and I'll be updating when I find new things!
Remember, if you ever have questions about this, Mrs. Siller or any of your teachers are a very great resource to use.
This page will be updated once school gets back up on its feet, so check back often!
Applications, Interviews, Resumes, Oh My!
From Read Write Think,
This resume generator is a basic start to figure out what information you need to put. It will also give you a pdf at the end. I suggest saving the pdf, and remake it on Google Docs so that it becomes a living resume (where you can add to it as you move jobs!)
On Learning Express Hub,
Here you have some resume tutorials, as well as interview success and thank you letter notes. **You may need to sign in using your Hawley ISD link in order to view.
