How To Write A Resume Letter

Frances Said:

How do I write a resume for my teacher to write a letter of recomendation?

We Answered:

You do not say what year you are in at school, so will do a general one that you can adapt!: You can do it typewritten or handwritten - but PLEASE make sure it is legible and your writing is good! Remember this is for a teacher and he knows what you are like, so you have to be honest! Make sure the page is 'balanced' - it covers the whole page and things are evenly spaced out! Remember that your teacher is also going to help you, which is why he wants to see your resume - he will make sure the resume looks good and may also be able to suggest things you may not have considered! I know it is unlikely you will have a lot in it yet but you can still make sure it looks good on the page, even if you think the content is not so good!:

Name
Address
Telephone
Date of Birth

Name and address of school
Last exam results

Any jobs you may have had, including what you had to do (eg babysitting, Saturday job, paper round...)

Any clubs and activities etc. that you are a member of, inside and outside school

Any hobbies (but make sure you can talk about them! - the number of people who say 'reading' but cannot say what book they read last is amazing!)

You could also list your best attributes - eg tidyness, promptness, organisation etc.

Name of referee (s) - I suggest you have 2, one of whom is an old family friend; hopefully your teacher will be the other one

We Answered:

Resume paper is just slightly heavier paper (not as thick as cardstock) that you can pick up at any grocery store. It's often slighlty tinted as well (yellowish shades)

Word has templates for your resume and cover letter.

For your cover letter, you should introduce yourself in the first paragraph. Then write about some of your stengths and how they'll help you in the position that you're applying for. Finish up by saying that you know you'll be a great fit for the position and look forward to hearing from the company. Use formal business letter format (address, date, etc.)

Resume: Put your educational info on top. List your graduation date, degree, etc. Below this, provide info on clubs, awards, etc.
Then list all jobs you've held. You should list the company and the job title. Then use bullet points to list out what your key responsibilities were.

Thank you letter - thank the person for the interview, reference something specific from your conversation.

Discuss It!
