How to get an A on your resume...

1) Be specific about your duties at your jobs-- "prepared sandwiches to customer satisfaction and per health regulations"
2) Be sure to include your dates of employment/attendance
3) Make your resume visually appealing, but also simple to scan and read. This might include making your name stand out at the top, underlining the topics, bolding the names of your job title, etc AND making sure that everything lines up neatly.
4) Include two references-- This means providing the full name of your employer (or guidance counselor, or favorite shop teacher), their job title at the location where you worked, and a telephone number (and maybe also their email) where they can be reached. T

This will be your first grade for the second marking period.
