We worked on writing resumes, discussing the following standards:
1) Formatting should be accessible and clear. (You may wish to use a template in your word processing program.)
2) Professional appearance (black and white unless you are extremely careful that any color is highly professional)
3) Grammar: ensure that bulleted lists are in the same grammatical form (parallel with one another)
4) Categories should be selected to highlight your strengths and the desires of the potential employer
5) Use evidence to showcase the personal traits and skills employers seek.
6) Use precise verbs to show what specific skills you have demonstrated.
7) References go at the end and may be listed or simply "Available upon request." (We discussed etiquette for asking someone to be a reference ahead of time.)
Core
Bellwrite #35: Is there such a thing as a war crime or is that a contradiction in terms?
We held our debate on the justice of the Treaty of Versailles. Both classes and sides of the debate did admirably. Afterward, students were asked to write a personal response to the question of the debate.
Homework:
- Read Screwtape Letters 19 & 20.
- First draft of resume must be done by Thursday (May 1), after which you are responsible to review it with someone whose job involves hiring others. A revised final draft is due next Tuesday.
