Assessment
There is no formal assessment for this class because it is an introduction to life skills. The class is small and personalized because the resume will be tapered to the student.

Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
This class will cover the following topics:
- An overview of what a resume is and why it is important.
- What a cover letter is and how it works with a resume.
- The different sections of a resume and how to highlight strengths and achievements in each one.
- Writing action/ impact statements based on a mock job advertisement.
- Learning to structure a resume using language targeted for job needs.

Resume writing is different from typical essay or narrative writing, so it can be challenging for a high schooler to shift gears from English class, but with some practice they will develop a skill set that will carry them for the rest of their career!

Please Note: If you don't see a section that is available below and works with your schedule, please send me a message - I will work with you to find a time that works!

Learning Goals

- Students will learn what a resume and cover letter are used for, and why they are important.
