This is an excellent time of the year to begin developing your resume and preparing for future opportunities!
A student resume is a simple way to show your achievements, activities, volunteer work, and skills all in one place. Even if you haven’t had a job yet, your resume highlights what makes you unique and helps colleges, scholarships, or employers see your strengths. A resume is important for everyone... not just students going to college. It’s also a great tool for applying to jobs, internships, or other opportunities after high school!
To make this process easier, we have a template for you. We encourage everyone to fill it out, no matter your future plans. You can also find more resume templates on Canva and Google Documents. You can even make it more personal by adding pictures of yourself participating in hobbies, playing sports, or volunteering in the community. This way, your resume truly shows who you are both inside and outside of school!
You can find your copy of the template under Classwork, under the topic "Student Resume Template."
