Do I have to do this? Juniors – your résumé will be the cover page of your senior project. We ask all juniors to begin constructing their résumé in the spring of their junior year so that the bulk of the work is completed before their senior year. A rough draft of your résumé is due to your advisory teacher prior to spring break. You need to complete a résumé template and store that in your advisory folder. All juniors who miss this deadline will be assigned Saturday School. Juniors who choose not to complete a rough draft of their résumé will not receive advisory credit this semester and the “NC” grade will count against your eligibility for sports.

Get this done and use it! After you complete the rough draft of your résumé, feel free to type it in the computer lab so you have the opportunity to use it today. Many students use their résumé to apply for summer jobs and part- time work during the school year. Your résumé is a great tool. Take advantage of it!! Advisors – please distribute the sample templates and allow students the time to work on their rough draft.
