What’s included?
  • Header: Name, Address, Phone, Email
  • Objective: 'Summary' of what you're looking for (job, internship)
  • Core Competencies

  • Work and Volunteer Experience

  2. Permanent mailing address (parent/guardian)
  3. Cell phone number
  4. Email (professional) - Examples include gmail.com, outlook.com
  5. YOUR personal weebly portfolio website

These are only examples. Add your own. How would you describe yourself? What do you have knowledge of? What are you good at?

  1. List your high school and anticipated graduation month and year
  2. List your high school accomplishments 
  3. List the program that you’re currently signed up for at Eaton RESA

*Remember to save your resume and update it as needed throughout the school year.
*Optional: write 2-3 sentences or a 'summary' describing what you are looking for (a job, internship, etc). Insert this paragraph at the top of the page, underneath the header.
