Welcome to the Résumé/Essay Workshop



Résumé Builder PacketCollege and CareerA résumé (also called a CV) is a visual tool used to quickly display your job experience, educational background, and other accomplishments. You will need one if you are planning on applying to college, for scholarships, or for internships or jobs after high school. Types of résumés:Business or job résumés contain information relevant to a specific job. These are used by employers to screen applicants and are often the first thing a potential employer will look at. These should be one page.Academic résumés contain information relating to your academic experience and are used for college, scholarship, and other academic applications. These should be no longer than two pages. Specialized résumés highlight one particular area, such as music, theatre arts, art portfolio, etc. These are usually only required if you will have to audition for a specific program.
