RESUME TIPS

You may already know this...but just in case

DO NOT put on you resume:
-your age or birth date
- your social insurance number
- your picture
- passport info.

This is info you give the employer only AFTER you've been hired.

I know of one employer that shreds any resumes that include this information.

Although it's easy to answer ads on Craigslist it's still most effective to go to the company website to apply or go direct!  All ads should include a company name/ address, contact info besides the craigslist link.

                       You should not respond if the ad is placed anonymously.

Work Experience Courses ~ WEX12A & WEX12B

WORK EXPERIENCE provides an opportunity for students, explore career options, build employable skills, possibly land their first job, give back to the community, add to their resume, scholarship, university applications and is a great life experience!!

Work experience takes place in the community providing students with an opportunity to explore a career of interest to them. Typically it is a school-arranged, non-paid placement which may lead to an apprenticeship or employment.

Requirement:

1. Complete WorkSafe BC Program (see Mr. Nevison)
2. Meet with the Work Experience Facilitator (Ms. Nieken-Spence) to determine career focus & arrange a placement
3. Complete 30-100 hours of volunteer or work experience

Students may choose to register in the following Career programs:

1. Grade 10 Science COOP = 100 hours of career exploration (Planning 10 and Science 10 are the courses associated with the program. Incorporates WEX12A by allowing students to attend a work placement every Monday and Thursday afternoons, to complete the required 100 hours.

2. Grade 10 Explorer Program = 30 + hours of career exploration (Social Studies & PE Leadership are the courses associated with the program).

SSA is a career program that allows students to begin an apprenticeship while still in school and earn high school credits for doing so and be eligible for a $1000 scholarship!!

An apprenticeship is a paid training program for trades and technical careers that involves a combination of on the job training and classroom instruction. Register in SSA11a / SSA11b/ SSA12a/ SSA 12b.
