EDU101ResumeInformation

In the summer before you came to UMF you received information about writing a résumé. It was suggested that you create a résumé to give to your advisor at your first meeting. Whether you created a résumé then or not, you will need a résumé.

As an assignment, you will be asked to bring your résumé to class. For that assignment an old or a new résumé is fine.

Eventually, you will need to have a résumé that would be appropriate to give to a principal when you are applying for a teaching job. Don't just list everything you've ever done, cater your résumé to reflect what skills and strengths you have that will make you a strong teacher candidate.
