You've Got the Skills!


Good Morning and Happy Tuesday!  Today we are going to continue working with our resume - this time we are working with the skills portion.  Before we even touch on that, I need you to make a list on your blog,  Your list should include 3 skills you have.  Skills, simply stated, are the abilities that one possesses.  In other words, what are you good at?

Attempt to think of 3 different things that you are particularly good at ... some skill you have that the person right next to you might not have.  You could even do a quick internet search for skills at http://www.quintcareers.com/job_skills_values.html.  Perhaps that will help you brainstorm a few things.  

The second part of your blog will be to explain how that skill would be helpful to your future employer and/or how it would make you a more desirable person to hire!  You might be a really good BMX biker which is an awesome skill but if you are hoping to work at Jamba Juice that might not be the skill they are looking for ... get it?

After you have completed your blog post, please complete Unit 2, Lesson 2.1.  THEN ... open up your resume and keep making progress ...

By the end of today you should have your contact information updated at the top of the page, your education updated and complete, 1 example under Experience of a responsibility you have held and a minimum of 3 skills listed under the skills portion of the resume.  You can look at what is listed on the resume I shared as well but make sure you only list what is pertinent to you!

Thanks ...
