F.E.S. Has 3 Tips to Consider When Helping Children with Resume Creation:
Parents it’s easy to give our kids a nudge in the right direction. Especially if they are not interested in going to university. They all need a resume eventually and it’s never too early to start building one.
1.) Their Professional Experience Can Include:
- Front desk, main office, library aid, and bus attendant. Also, there are clubs, sports, and any other high school related jobs you can think of.
- Mandatory volunteer hours, what their duties were, and what they took away from the experience.
- Baby sitting, house sitting, care taking, familial write-off jobs. Etc.
2.) Professional Summary –
- A strong professional summary has ALL THE BUZZ WORDS – e.g.: Articulate, motivated, innovative, well-rounded, and any other words that best describe your work-related abilities.
3.) Professional Skills & Qualifications –
- Adding a Professional skills & qualifications section can really help beef-up your kid’s resume. Alternatively, you can merge your skills and qualifications with your summary. This approach provides an even more detailed introduction of your child’s professional strengths.
The goal is to get the best job possible the first time. You should honestly communicate your professional summary, experience, and education. This will help avoid job hopping and unnecessary headaches during your initial job searches.
