Update résumé.

Updating the résumé should include

  • educational background
  • work history
  • honors and awards
  • membership in clubs and organizations and/or community activities
    • leadership positions held
    • community service.

Students should know how to convert a résumé created in a word processing application into ASCII or plain text format with line breaks, so it can be posted on the Internet, placed into an employer’s résumé bank on a company website, or scanned/ converted into digital text by optical character recognition (OCR) software.

Students should be encouraged to keep a résumé updated to reflect their education and experience.
