The Grade 9′s have decided to make their own blogs to show their learning for their space unit.
For your first blog session, you need to try the following:

How to write a resume
Just in case you wanted to know how to write a resume, I found a website and an example resume that might be useful.
Here are some other things to think about when you write your resume:
1. Keep it short – one page should do
2. Make it clear – underline titles and make it easy to read
3. Have someone read over your resume to find any mistakes
4. Include your contact information so that an employer knows how to reach you
5. Tell them how great you are!
You need to include the following categories:
1. Name, Address, Phone Number, Email address
2. Education – where you go to school
3. Work Experience – any experience you have will do
4. Strengths – what is your character like?
5. Skills – can you use a computer for example?
