BUILDING A RESUME Your Junior year is a great time to continue accumulating items for your resume. Keeping track of

accomplishments and activities is an important job in high school. Ideas of items to track:

1. Awards/Recognitions: if you win a speech contest, compete for FFA, FCCLA, sports, etc

2. Activities: if you take part in ANY organization or activity (does not have to be school

related) 3. Community Service: make a note if you volunteered your time for the community,

school or church. 4. Work: if you work a job of any kind, make note! Employability is a great addition to any

resume.

Myth!

All my student has to do is meet the minimum requirements to get into

college.

FACT: Many colleges and universities use something called a

‘comprehensive review’ for admittance.
