Résumé Development

Creating a résumé is an important step in preparing for the world of work.

Creating a résumé is an important step in preparing for the world of work.  Students typically begin to keep track of their work experience with the aim of building a résumé from the very beginning.  They include any type of volunteer or community experience, as well as any paid work experience.

Steps in Building a Résumé

Students participate in a variety of vocational experiences and keep a running log or list, using a braille notetaker or a print copy.  It would also be possible to create an audio file, using speech to text.  

Once students have a list of vocational experiences compiled, we introduce a more formal approach to creating the actual résumé.
