Many other scholarships ask for resumes.
A resume is needed for almost every job application.

Quickly summarizes your skills and experience.
Communicates professionalism.

17. Example of a Strong Resume
Read the handout “Sample Resume for High School Students”
Notice the way the resume is formatted in sections.
The headings let us know what activity or job the student had, and how long he or she was involved in that activity.
The bullet points begin with an ACTIVE VERB and describe what the student accomplished and the skills he/she learned.
See second page for a list of active verbs – when you can’t think of a way to phrase your responsibilities, check this list!

18. Example of a Weak Resume
Read over the “weak resume example”
Discuss - what’s wrong with this resume?

19. Strengthen the resume
In pairs or small groups, use active verbs to rewrite the statements on the weak resume and share out a more effective way to describe his experience.
(Assign each group or pair one bullet point statement to rewrite.)
Then, share out with the group!

20. Final Reminders Use active verbs to strengthen your word choice.
Add in specific examples of your accomplishments.
Proofread, proofread, proofread!
Check for punctuation and spelling.
Check for format and style consistency.
Ask teacher or friend to help you edit.
