Resumes are an important part of the job search process
It is important you learn how to develop your own resume so you can quickly edit and
change it to match job requirements
You will be developing a combination style resume – Sample on Page 3
This format is a little different than other styles but is based on many years of
teaching about resumes
Grade 10 students sometimes have a difficult time creating a resume when they have
little or no employment experience – you have to be creative
