Link here to see what skills you have or need to fit the job you want

or here to explore more about different careers and their requirements / skills (very student friendly site)

another great site to explore to help you decide what job you would like and if you have the skills for it. 

Or google the job you want and enter "skills and requirements" for that position to complete page 8 of resume packet.

Use links above to explore the job you prefer and the skills you need to best obtain and perform it. Then complete pages 8 in your resume workbook. Be detailed!!

Now - transfer the Job objective to page 10. Then choose the best three or four skills and abilities you have (from page 8) that directly pertain to that job and write them below the objective.

Ensure that sections 1,2 and 3 and 4 are complete.  If so, move on to section 5 that will help you with how to best phrase your skills in clear, concise one liners. Notice how it guides you to start each one liner with a VERB (action word) and end with a result.

In section 5, you are basically providing examples of your skills and abilities. you've already said what skills you have on PAGES 8 and 10....now you have to say HOW you obtained that skill in a clear ONE-LINER that starts with a VERB and ends with a result.
