| YOU CAN SEND YOUR RESUME to Steve and he can look at it and give you suggestions.... englishlesson@mail.com |
| GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE You can see a different format (shape, form) of the information. You can copy the format and type your information in the place. |
| You can use this EXAMPLE to create a resume for yourself. It is a simple format. It shows the basic information. You can put more information in the OBJECTIVE if you want. The idea is to give the interviewer only the title of your job, dates that you worked at the job and specific responsibilities. Do not show how old you are and do not give more information (no photos or number of children or marriage status).... It is a good exercise to create a resume. Even a "future" resume (you can create information that you will use when you make a resume when you look for a job when you finish university) is a good exercise. GOOD LUCK ....
