Resume Writing for Kids

As our children plan for their summer activities, some may need to write a resume for summer internship programs or for a neighborhood job. This resume template was designed to help our children organize their thoughts and experiences in a professional template. Children have used this format to obtain jobs as parents’ helpers, dog walkers, gardeners, babysitters, and to support work and community service activities. The template is also published as a blog in Vietnamese and Spanish on our website by Mary Ann Burke.
