Personal Narrative: My Resume

Everyone has their first memory when they have to enter the adult world, mine just happened to be my junior year of high school. This year was just a little glimpse of what was going to be the rest of my life. Getting my first job was bitter sweet. I had to learn how to manage my time between school, sports, and now a job. After my first week of school I had to start my new job.

As teenager, many people say their adolescence is one of the most important phases in anyone’s life. As a teenager, you get to experience many great events like going to high school football games, dating your first boyfriend or girlfriend, getting your driver license, and graduating from high school. As I look back, I believe that getting my first job was the most important event in my adolescence. I was very enthusiastic about getting my first job. I enjoyed that fact that I will be able to earn my own money and not having to ask my mother for any earn. Surprising, there was only one obstacle that was holding me back and that was the fact that I was a

First I just want to point out the obvious and say that you have an enormous heart. It must be so hard for you meeting these inmates and seeing their potential and most times seeing them revert to their old ways. I think that has to be the most painful part of it all. I know your supervisor once told you “our mission can’t be affected by individual successes or failures.”- Alice Layton. Which is what kept you going. It’s true, but it doesn’t take the sad disappointing feelings away. It’s amazing what you do, but it’s also very hard emotionally. For that I salute you. I love how invested you truly are. That fact that they feel comfortable enough to speak to you about the crimes they have committed is insane. That just goes to show how committed you are to helping them better themselves. In addition to

My writing portfolio includes my best work that was completed within The Beginners Creative Writing class. I must say that this class was completely different from what I thought it was going to be like. I assumed that it would be like any other "English" class. I was very wrong. I really enjoyed this creative writing class. I have learned a lot about the many different writing styles. This class also helped me to dig deep and write from the depths within instead of just surface writing. Even though poetry is my favorite form of writing; I must be honest and say it was the most challenging for me. I love to write poetry, but I was not very familiar with the literary terms, different structures, styles/forms of poetry. I have always stayed within

We haven't talked in a while so I thought I send you a quick e-mail. My life has been school, running, sleep, and music! School is going well like all my teachers (for the most part)! I haven't raced yet in cross country because I got sick a few week ago... I am just not getting over it, and I was supposed to have a meet on Saturday, but it was canceled due to horrible course conditions. I have been spending a lot of time producing music... Over this last summer, I got very serious about it. Realistically, I don't think it will be a career field for me, but you never know, and I really enjoy it. I've thought myself a lot, but I think I will be meeting with some actual audio engineers to learn even more. Right now music production

I heard job come out my mom's mouth i wanted to scream to the top of my lungs i couldn't speak i was so terrified so i decided that i would go to bed early so they would stop talking about but that didn't all i was dreaming about was work i felt like i was losing my mind and then i thought to myself it’s time to grow up and time to make your own decisions i'm going off to college in 2 years and it’s coming fast so It was even though i still felt horrible i didn't know what was happening . i was thinking today is the day i felt like the world was ending i no longer getting money from my parents and ask them to buy me things i had to make my own living for myself i felt like i was growing up too fast i felt like i wasn't ready and i'm pretty sure my family wasn't either

My employment history is limited, however, I am learning to be proud of my accomplishments. I think I just found out my problem lack of confidence! The key every good communicator needs. I am working on that, I promise. My first official job I had was at a non-profit organization named City Year. City Year is located in 25 cities throughout the United State, and also in the United Kingdom. I served as a corps member in New York and was coincidentally placed at my old elementary school. During my time there I mentored, tutored, and provided in classroom support to third grade students. I also was my team outreach coordinator for some time and then took on the role of data evaluator. After City Year I was a corps member for Jumpstart For Young

During my years in middle school I learned how to work. I was used to working on the farm when we had it. I never went to

My first job was at a restaurant by the name of Fazoli’s in Avon Indiana. It was the first quick-serve Italian restaurant. I believe I started working there when I was 17, my friend begged me to go work with him. I got haired in October, I got the job rather fast sure they were heavily under staffed. The owner of the restaurant was Mario. He put me as the chief I made subs salads pizzas and desserts. I worked almost every day but only for short hours. About 3 to 4. I was alright with the cause I would be able to get my school work done if needed with such short hours and able to still have a social life. The only other times when I got more hours shifts would be when People didn’t want to work there shift so I would pick it up for them. I

The message that I want to get across by writing the portfolio is the memories that me and my brother have had. The memories that I have had with my brother are very special and very important to me. Over the last couple years me and my brother have bonded more and made new memories. Also by writing this I want my brother to get the message that I love him and appreciate him for all he does for me. My brother is always is always there when I need him. Together we are an unstoppable team.

It is often a good idea to go with a resume generator from a website that helps matches up job seekers with employers. Many times these generators can be customized to allow a little more creativity than a standard resume template.

Most people do not get a job their freshman year because they are not yet fifteen, do not want one, or are worried about grades. However, when the opportunity presented itself, I was ready to get my first job working as a salad girl at a family restaurant in Washington.

Clou Mein’s YouTube channel “How to Write a Resume (Tips and Tricks),” explained how essential key words are to have in your resume due to recruiters. Recruiters are those who filter through the mountain of resumes by searching for key words, which eventually gets turned in to the higher-level manager. Perfect Resume USA’s channel “Resume Writing Tips: Why resume Templates Don’t Work,” also highlighted the importance of using key words in your resume, as well as avoiding resume templates as much as possible. According to Perfect Resume USA, resume templates become difficult to format and lack relevant content the majority of the time. Also, resume templates can make it difficult to control your spacing. Stapper and Mein both emphasized on not attaching a picture to your resume, unless you’re applying to be a model. A picture can look tacky and sometimes

lop his or her love of learning for a lifetime. I felt I was uniquely qualified for this position after helping my mother raise her midlife crisis, brood of oopsies. After one unexpected pregnancy, you would have thought she could figure it out, but no…it had taken two more, one in the form of twins, before she got a clue.

It was as if a bolt of self-confidence suddenly shot through me. I could see a lot of the things that I do in my current position that would be applicable in this new position. The job post’s wording helped me begin to formulate my resume in a much more professional manner. I suddenly began to see my skills as necessary and desirable in the work force. In fact, the most startling discovery I made through this process was when I had an epiphany that the job that I have held for the past 21 years has really been my career. I have never thought of it that way. Not that it has been just a ho-hum, put in your eight hours type of job by any means…but the resume writing process helped me see that what I have been doing has been more than simply a job. I have a career, and I am so grateful for that discovery.
