All seniors must write a resume as part of the AHS graduation requirements.
It is part of the English IV curriculum. A resume is a summary about the
individual. Although seniors are required to have a completed resume on
file, it is never too early for any student to write a resume. It can be
updated at the student's discretion. There are many different styles of
resume writing. Before a resume is designed, the instructor should approve
the design if it is to be used for class credit.
A good resume should take about one minute of the reader's time.
During that minute he or she should be able to locate easily all of the
information to consider the you for an interview. Otherwise, your
application will probably land in the not-to-be-interviewed stack.
Tips
- Use action verbs.
- Use present tense for jobs now doing and past
tense for past employment.
- Make sure everything is parallel--be
consistent.
- Use a font that is easy to read and common
especially if it is going to be sent electronically.
- Try to keep your resume to one page. If
you have many awards and accomplishments considering adding an honor
resume as a separate document.
