Getting Noticed and Getting the Job
• Employers look into the details, but they don’t have all the time in the world to read your life story. Your first resume should be no longer than one page – two, at most.
• Employers like to see involvement with the community and participation in school activities, so join clubs, play sports, volunteer, and get involved!
• Grades matter. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
• Your resume should be organized a certain way with a professional appearance. Trade in regular paper for ‘resume paper.’
• Consider organizing your resume this way:• Name
• Objective (one line only)
• Education (GPA helps!)
• Work or volunteer experience
• Other Activities– sports and clubs
• References with job titles and phone numbers
• (Make sure they know you are using them as references)
• Contact Information
