My First Resume
I stumbled upon a great resource, Career Activities Book, published by the Texas Workforce Commission. There are a variety of activities to help students understand the concept of self-knowledge, the development of a basic understanding of interests, likes and dislikes and how to interact with others.

I had 3 focus questions students were to investigate: What are some of the…
