What is a Resumé?

In this project, you'll turn the quick notes you captured in Google Keep into a professional resume using Google Docs. You already created 3 Google Keep notes about your strengths, your favorite teachers, and what belonging means to you. Now you'll use those notes as the raw material for something bigger — a resume that tells others what makes you special.


You'll learn how to format your resume so it looks professional, give and receive feedback from a partner, and even customize your resume for a specific job. This is a real-world skill that will help you when you apply for high school activities, future jobs, or college!

🔑 Key idea: Google Keep is for capturing quick thoughts. 

Google Docs is for turning those thoughts into polished, professional documents. This lesson connects the two.

📗 Day 1 — What is a Resume?

Today you'll learn what a resume is, discover the 6 sections every resume needs, and connect your 3 Google Keep notes to specific resume sections.

🎯 Today's Goal: By the end of today, you will be able to identify the 6 main parts of a resume and explain how your 3 Google Keep notes connect to specific resume sections.

  • Heading: The top section of a resume containing the applicant's contact information (name, address, phone, email). (Synonym: Contact Information)

  • Objective: A concise statement at the beginning of a resume that outlines the applicant's career goals and what they are seeking in an opportunity.
