Jeff wants to work in information technology. Cindy dreams of being a gourmet chef. Over the course of this program, these students learn how to write functional, chronological, combination, and newsletter-style resumes using information on their skills and experience that they identify through two exercises: Personal Inventory (to capture the "what") and Showing Your COLORS (to uncover the "how"). Ways to get a resume in front of a decision maker's eyes are also addressed, and insightful snippets of commentary by a career counselor and an HR professional are interspersed throughout. This DVD is an informative introduction to resume writing for students with little or no job experience—yet. Grades 10–12. Closed captioned. Color. 24 minutes. Cambridge Educational. ©2008.
