12EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND
As a high school student, you will list the name of your high school and expected date of graduation on
your resume. Generally, once you begin college or technical school, you can omit your high school
information because it is assumed you have completed high school or obtained your GED. If you have
taken, or are taking, college-level courses or vocational/technical training, you can list that first.
Name of school:_____________________________________________________________________
City and State of school:_______________________________________________________________
Expected Graduation Date:___________________________________ _________________________
GPA (if above a 3.0) optional:__________________________________________________________
PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT & SUMMER JOBS
As a student you probably do not have much experience directly related to your career objective.
That’s okay! You may have held part-time or summer jobs, and believe it or not, through those
experiences you have developed valuable transferable skills that employers like to see in applicants. It
also shows that you have held a job for a certain amount of time, demonstrating your work ethic and
ability to manage your time between school and work.
The top skills and qualities of the perfect candidate are:
Communication Skills (verbal & written)
Honesty/Integrity
Interpersonal Skills
Motivation/Initiative
Strong Work Ethic
Teamwork Skills
Analytical Skills
Flexibility/Adaptability

about the top skills listed above and how you developed these skills through your part-time work.
