Activity/Product 1 Introduction to Resume Begin with a pre-unit Self-Evaluation: There is a pre- self-evaluation to be used before the Resume unit. It is also the same for a post-self evaluation after students have done the activities in the unit and the culminating activity. Make the pre- and post- self-evaluation on different colored paper so students can see their own improvement easily. (see evaluation sheet on next page) Teacher: talk about the pre- self-evaluation and what it means; it is to think about how much you know about a subject or area before and after you study it. Students should try to answer truthfully. Teacher: collect and save the pre- self-evaluation and then compare them with the post-evaluations done by students at the end of the unit.

Objective / Introduction to the unit: Students will learn more vocabulary in order to understand better what a resume is and what it can do for them. They will do various activities to help them complete their own resume. 1. Warm-up/Review:
• Brainstorm prior topic knowledge.
• Ask students to come up with a definition of what a resume is.
• Try to have them use their own words and not look it up in the dictionary at
first. Help to create a definition on board with class.
• Then, have students look up definition in a dictionary to see how close they
are to the dictionary entry.
2. Examine Resume Examples:
• Show resume examples to students (provide handouts in table groups, use
overhead projector, document camera or ceiling-mounted projector (see 3
documents in Activities: ResumeExample1; ResumeExample2;
ResumeExample3) • Ask students about what is the same and what is different in the resumes.
Create a table and write their answers on the board
What is the same? What is different?
i.e. They include education i.e. Some donʼt include jobs
i.e. They include name and address i.e. Some donʼt have objective
i.e. Resumes are typed

This is the information that students should know about resumes. Highlight this information – if students don’t point it out
• Resumes must be typed
• Print resumes on high quality paper or resume paper

• Use a proper format - use a template -
• Focus on these three skills - point out to students that even if they have no work experience, they should have skills to put in a resume
a. communication skills b. problem solving skills c. technical skills
• Pay attention to word – many verbs are in simple past tense.
• Brainstorm a list of words with students to use on resumes.
• They should come up with 25-50 to get the idea of work-oriented action
words. Some examples: assisted, implemented, contributed, organized,
planned, trained, supervised, selected, earned, presented, taught,
represented • Tell the truth
• Check, check and double check and then have someone else proof it. There
can be no mistakes on a resume.

3. Resume Writing Video & Worksheet:
• Handout worksheet (see: next page) to students – ask them to look up
vocabulary words – possibly assign groups to present meanings to class
• Students watch video (How to write a resume - Step 01 - What is a
resume_.flv) twice…. First to take in the information, the second time is to
fill in cloze/gap exercise.
• Teacher note: You may want to review with students about listening for
details. Explain they should listen/watch the video first to make sure they
understand most of what was said. They can ask questions after the first
time. The second time is when they are listening for key words. These are
skills that some teachers may have to review with class.
• Teacher answer key follows – review answers with class after video.
To use video: Open applications, look for VLR icon (it looks like an orange road cone) drag to dock, insert CD, drag video icon to VLR icon in dock, it should begin.)

Activity/Product 4: Teacher note: You may want to review with students about listening for details. Explain they should listen/watch the video first to make sure they understand most of what was said. They can ask questions after the first time. The second time is when they are listening for key words. These are skills that some teachers may have to review with class. Please note, some teachers found the activities suitable for their students while others felt the students were not able to complete cloze/gap activities. Therefore, please preview video and material prior to using it in class. Feel free to make changes as needed for your class/level. Ideas to make this activity work for your class
• Have students count the number of blanks they need to fill in. One blank = one word.
• Have them watch and count how many Do’s and Don’ts are in each area • Assign table groups to listen for certain areas of Cloze/Gap • Hand out Cloze/Gap first and have students try to guess what words will go
into the blanks. Put ideas on board and watch video section by section to confirm best answer(s).
Explain that while students watch video they should take notes on what are the Dos and Don’ts of a resume. They can add to the list they have already started and make sure some of the tips they’ve thought of are shown. Resume Dos Video (time length: 1:13 minutes) Resume Don’ts Video (time length: 3:25 minutes)
• Prior to watching videos, brainstorm on what are some Dos and Don’ts for a
resume (possible grammar point: should/ should not or do/do not (don’t))
• Make two lists on board/overhead
• Students write/copy from board in their notebooks/journals
• Explain to students that they will watch the videos two times, first just to
listen to see if they understand. The second time while students watch video
they should fill in cloze-gap worksheet on what are the Dos and Don’ts
during each video (see worksheet below.)
• They should add items from the video to the list they have already started, if
they are not on the list

(Why?? Have someone catch your spelling and grammatical errors)
2. Do be brief. Less is more.
3. Do use Arial or Times New Roman as a font. Size between 10 and 12. (Why?? Easy to read and company may use computer scanner to read resume)

5. Do give specific examples. (Why?? Give the time in the past when you demonstrated the skills.) Covered in Resume Don’t Video: time 3:24 “How to write a great resume - Top 5 resume donts.flv” 1. Never send out with typos or grammatical errors! Why?? Fast way to go to “do not call pile” Employers say it’s a sign of “lack of detail”
2. Don’t lie or stretch the truth Why can’t you lie or stretch the truth? The company won’t hire you if they find a lie or maybe can fire you later if they find out. 3. Don’t write out job descriptions Why? They can figure it out if it is a typical job title. More important to tell them something that they don’t know about you. 4. Don’t use italics or underline Why? They are hard to read and computers can’t read it 5. Don’t put references on the resume. Why? Save them for a job that you know you can get. Also, you need to contact them before the job interview.

Well-Fargo Grant – Resume – Levels 5 & 6
Bisch & Turngren – MPS-ABE 2010
2. Begin – Personal Information worksheet – what is not done in class will be homework
• Begin in class – students have “homework” to complete
• Possible Google search to find missing information
• Students use the Resume Checklist for their resume or partner’s resume. Students need to do homework/research that only they can do – their previous employers, names, addresses, contact information, hire dates, etc. They have some of the information form the job/education grid; however, they will have to get more details in order to proceed to the next step. Give students a paper copy of the Personal Information Sheet (in separate document on CD entitled “Personal InformationSheet.doc”). What they can’t finish and/or compete in class, they will have to take it home and work on it. The sheet is very similar to the resume template in the culminating activity. Students should be able to write information on Personal Information Sheet and then transfer it to the resume template. Name, address, etc.
• Make sure students have correct spelling on addresses.
• It is better to list an email address that is professional. Try to use Gmail
accounts instead of hotmail or yahoo accounts (Gmail accounts are generally
considered more professional.) Also, if a student has an unsavory name in e-
mail address, it is best to not include it.
Objective: • Most sources say students should “build” resume to the job they are applying
for. Therefore; use an Objective only if the job title or company is known.
The objective should be tailored to job title. The objective is to get a
Well-Fargo Grant – Resume – Levels 5 & 6
Bisch & Turngren – MPS-ABE 2010
position at that company.
• For example: If applying at Parasole Group Restaurants, list objective: to
gain employment or a position within Parasole Group.
• Review this with students.
Work Experience:
• Students can use the class work they did in previous activities to fill in the
sheets.
Accomplishments & Activities, Discussing valuable non-work related experience –
• There are some experiences that might not relate to the kind of job you're
applying for but might, nonetheless, impress an employer. In general it's a
good idea to include any volunteer and/or community work you've done. No
matter the job, all employers like to see candidates who display compassion
and community-minded behavior. Many also think these accomplishments
point to someone who will be a valued employee.
• Additional Information: what other skills do you have? Certification?
Languages?
Education:
• Education History: Students should list schools they have attended as well as
MPS-ABE.
• Students can use the class work they did in previous activities to fill in the
sheets.
Well-Fargo Grant – Resume – Levels 5 & 6
Bisch & Turngren – MPS-ABE 2010
• If students are not sure about information, ask them to do some homework.
They can take the personal information sheet home and try to get accurate
and up-to-date information.
References:
• Some resume specialists feel references should not be on a resume and should
simple state: “References available upon request”. However, students
should have a list of non-family members who will discuss their good
qualities. For this activity, students will list references.
• Please review with students that they should ask someone to be a reference
prior to putting their name and phone number down. For example, if they
would like to have you be a reference, they need to ask you. They may want
to ask a classmate, too. Also, they should let their references know when
they may expect a phone call for a job, etc.
When it is complete, they will be ready for the culminating activity: creating their own resume. Possible Extension Activities: Google Search: If students need help in finding the requested information, bring them to the Computer Lab or use the COW for a lesson on Google Search. Students can type in a question into Google bar (top right corner of web browser) to find information. For example: What is the address for Target Store in St. Louis Park, MN? Students can get exact address and phone numbers.
Well-Fargo Grant – Resume – Levels 5 & 6
Bisch & Turngren – MPS-ABE 2010
Culminating Activity - Create Resume
• Teachers may use their time in the Computer Lab or bring in COW to use with class.
• Students can use the attached Resume Template to type in their information.
• There is also a resume template in the new Word (installed on MPS-ABE
computers in December 2010) which you may find useful (although others found it difficult).
• Students should be encouraged to use their Personal Information Sheet to
transfer the information into the template.
• The templates can be put into the shared folders at your site. Some staff may want to email template to students.
Remind students the information they learned from the videos
• Font Name: Arial or Times New Roman
• Font Size 10 or 12
• Use white space effectively
• Print one copy on high quality paper – provided
• Please note: if students print a resume from their own student account, it is
time stamped at the bottom of the resume. This is not desirable for a resume.
However, if the teacher can access the students’ resumes from a USB drive
or a shared folder and then print it, there will not be a time stamp at bottom.
• Students should save to their documents folder so it is available at any time.
• File name: FirstnameLastnameReusme.doc
• If students have USB drives, they should be encouraged to bring them to class
in order to save to USB.
Well-Fargo Grant – Resume – Levels 5 & 6
Bisch & Turngren – MPS-ABE 2010
• If students have an email account, they can sent you their completed resume
as an attachment.
• Invite Tim, Anthony or Jamal to step in and provide some tips and/or to make
appointments to follow up with resumes.
• Volunteers can be of great use when typing the resume!
