If you have not completed your Resume Workbook then it NEEDS to be completed this period. If you have completed yours then you need to go to www.freetypinggame.net and complete lessons 13-16 and set your target goal to 30 words per minute. After our last typing exercise it is pretty obvious that we need to take some of these typing lessons seriously. Do the lessons as they are supposed to be done and do not do them with one or two fingers. After you have completed those four lessons, achieving the goal of 30 wpm, then you have some free time today.
5th-8th periods
Get this taken care of and I better recieve good reports from the substitute about your behavior in class. Do what is expected of you.
Have a great weekend guys!

Today you will complete Step 8 and Step 9 of the resume booklet. This will take us to the end and we will be ready to actually type our resumes next week. If you have not completed some of the earlier steps you need to complete them as well.
Step 8 is summarizing your key points. These are just one sentence summaries of things you have done that might pertain to your job objective (the job you want).
Examples:
Proficient with Google Docs and other Microsoft software applications.
Completed Speech Communications class with a 95 avg.
Achieved high evaluations as a part time worker at Joe Blows Garage.
Bilingual speaker and can communicate effectively in Spanish and English.
Can provide exceptions references as to reliability and work ethic.
Step 9 is to Assemble your Resume. Here you are just going to start filling in from what you have already done. I think you will see that you will need to edit some of your answers, especially your step 5 one liners to include those actions verbs and maybe shorten some of them up.
Next week I will give you some sample resumes and we will look at some templates online of both chronological and functional resumes and probably make one of each.

We are almost finished with our Resume Workbook, continue to keep up with where we are. If you have not completed step 5 then you are behind schedule.
Today we need to move on to Steps 6-7, which are Work History and Education and Training. Step 6 is Work History. Read through the examples and create a list of your work history beginning with your most recent and going backwards. This list should include any work that was done including volunteer work or work you were doing for yourself. Include work even if your parents or other relatives were the "employer". You will have to make this list on the very back page of the workbook because there is not a space for this. Make it just like the examples provided for you.
Step 7 Education and Trainin is very self explanatory. Read through the explanation page and instructions and then on page 18 complete your list of education and trainings that might apply. Include as many school activities that you have participated in including clubs, sports, band, uil, etc...show that you are involved in many things.
Remember your work history and education and training do not have to pertain to the job objective at this point, we are making a list so that later we can produce a resume for you.

I hope you had a good weekend. Today you need to work on steps 4 and 5 in your resume workbook. Step 4 is to list your skills and abilities as related to the job objective you created. Review all the skills and abilities you listed on pages 3-6 and choose the ones that are most related to your job objective (at least 4 but more or ok). Look at the examples given to you on page 10.
Step 5 is then to create one-liners to demonstrate these skills and abilities using the action verbs provided for you on page 12. Page 13 has the guidelines for creating these one liners and several examples. Remember NEVER use the word "I" on your resume, begin with the action verb that describes what you accomplished. Then on page 14 write several one-liners that pertain to the skills you listed in step 4 or from pages 3-6.
"Surely you can't be serious. I am serious and don't call me Shirley." (Airplane, 1980)

Today complete the vocbulary assignment in your classroom. Use any online dictionary source to complete this. Make sure that your definitions apply to the topic being covered. Also make sure to put your name on the document and highlight or underline the terms to offset them. This is part of the intstructions so I will count off if you do not. You may have to search a bit for a couple of them but you can find the definitions.
"You can do it."
Not sure what that is from.
