Develop a résumé.

Development should include

• educational background
• work history
• certifications
• honors and awards
• membership in club and/or community activities, leadership positions held, and community service.

Students should understand how to convert a résumé that was created in a word processing application into an appropriate format so it can be posted to the Internet or placed into an employer’s résumé bank on a company website. Students should be encouraged to keep a résumé current and updated to reflect experience and education, even if they are not currently involved in a job search.
