Special Book Review
"Resumes for Children - 17 Years Old and Under"
There are many situations in life, where we need to list our skills and accomplishments -- such as when we apply for a job, etc. The competition is hard enough when you're an adult, but it is sometimes just as hard when you're a child. What? Why would you need a resume for a child, you might wonder. Well, keeping a record of all the important things that your child has accomplished, can only help them throughout their lives. How should you organize your child's skills and achievements on paper?
The book, "Resumes for Children - 17 Years Old and Under," shows you how to organize your child's information. The book contains 21 sample resumes for children to use for a variety of purposes -- schools, scholarships, competitions and jobs, just to name a few. As your child gets older, you can revise your child's resume to reflect all their talents and acomplishments for each specific purpose. You can list their strengths, talents, and include any organizations, volunteer programs or hobbies, and any awards won. You will get many ideas from the included resumes, 3 sample cover letters and 1 sample reference page. Blank pages are included in the back of the book to allow for some information gathering.
A resume speaks for you -- it describes who you are and what you have done in your life. And as this book shows, there are many other uses for making a resume, not only for applying for a job. Resumes look impressive! Receivers of your child's resume will get to know a little about your child before they meet in person.
MyParenTime.com recommends this book -- anything that can help a child go forward in their life is A-OK with us! This book is clear and concise, and gives wonderful examples of how children under the age of 17 can use resumes to further their education, career or hobby.
