Today I spent the day helping my little brother learn how to write a resume.  He just turned sixteen and he is looking for his first job.  I thought I could give him a hand and some pointers too.

He brought his stuff over to my house.  He had made a resume using a resume builder last night, but he wanted a second opinion.  I took one look at it, and realized he had missed quite a few things that he should have on the resume.

So I dug out my little secret weapon of resume writing: my "how to make a resume" book that I bought many years ago.  Inside its’ pages, were all the tips, tricks and ways to make your resume shine out.  I had followed the book in the past for every job I applied for, and had interviews for each one.

He read through the book and edited his resume he brought from home.  I let him use my computer to type it out, and he gave it to me to look over.

Wow! 

His new resume was a winner - he was sure to make it to the interview.  He left and promised that he would let me know how it went - I expect to hear from him in a few short days.
