The Resume Workbook for High School Students Form

Departments of education and school districts always have to make decisions about what to include in their curriculum.  There are a lot of life skills that people need that aren't taught in school.  The question is should those skills be taught in schools?I teach high school, so I'll talk about that.  The typical high school curriculum is supposed to give students a broad-based education that prepares them to be citizens in a democracy and to be able to think critically.  For a democracy to work, we need educated, discerning citizens with the ability to make good decisions based on evidence and objective thought.  In theory, people who are well informed about history, culture, science, mathematics, etc., and are capable of critical, unbiased thinking, will have the tools to participate in a democracy and make good decisions for themselves and for society at large.  In addition to that, they should be learning how to be learners, how to do effective, basic research, and collaborate with other people.  If that happens, figuring out how to do procedural tasks in real life should not provide much of a challenge.  We can't possibly teach every necessary life skill people need, but we can help students become better at knowing how to acquire the skills they need.  Should we teach them how to change a tire when they can easily consult a book or search the internet to find step by step instructions for that?  Should we teach them how to balance a check book or teach them how to think mathematically and make sense of problems so that the simple task of balancing a check book (which requires simple arithmetic and the ability to enter numbers and words in columns and rows in obvious ways) is easy for them to figure out.  If we teach them to be good at critical thinking and have some problem solving skills they will be able to apply those overarching skills to all sorts of every day tasks that shouldn't be difficult for someone with decent cognitive ability  to figure out.  It's analogous to asking why a culinary school didn't teach its students the steps and ingredients to a specific recipe.  The school taught them about more general food preparation and food science skills so that they can figure out how to make a lot of specific recipes without much trouble.  They're also able to create their own recipes.So, do we want citizens with very specific skill sets that they need to get through day to day life or do we want citizens with critical thinking, problem solving, and other overarching cognitive skills that will allow them to easily acquire ANY simple, procedural skill they may come to need at any point in their lives?

The specific item in question should undoubtedly be mentioned. It is highly impressive, and I'm assuming you are applying for high achiever jobs.In general, anything that doesn't sound Mickey Mouse can be mentioned. If you picked up some class awards or school awards, that's fine to mention. It tells employers that someone thought you were special. Suppose there's 20-30 people in your class. Well, the person with the award is in the top few percent. Small and biased sample, but still better than some nobody who in 6-8 high school classes (over 4 years) wasn't picked for anything.I'd also not dwell too much on high school CV items after you've finished university. Put a few down so people can see you're smart, but demonstrate that you're qualified to take the job through having the right classes and internships. Remember the CV is just for getting an interview, and most interviewers will not be studying it very intensely, other than to make sure they aren't wasting time on interviewing you.I reckon with an IMO item and CIT on your CV, you will get an interview with most firms for almost any high achiever job.

Remember these key steps to write the best teen resume that lands you the job fast: Write a teenage resume objective. Use a 60 word count and stuff it with accomplishments that fit the job. Lock your experience and education to the job offer with matching bullet points.

Put your education information at the top of your resume. If you have a strong GPA, include this. Also list any academic awards, honors, or other achievements. Include volunteer and extracurricular experience: If you are a high school student, your work experience might be limited.

High school students likely won't need a resume for service-oriented jobs, but if they're looking for an internship or a more professional job, a resume will impress a potential employer and will make them stand out against other candidates.

Add a heading statement. Stick to a chronological resume format. Include necessary technical details. Highlight your achievements and accomplishments. Underline your education and relevant skills.
