Time to update your résumé

As you finish up your summer job, take time to review your assignment and update your résumé. Make a list of the tasks you did and skills you used or learned in this job, particularly ones that are different than other jobs on your Workamping© résumé.

Add this assignment to your résumé so it is now current. If your résumé is running more than a page, consider dropping a job that doesn't fit in with the kinds of jobs you are now seeking so you have room for this latest experience.

Before you leave your assignment, ask for a letter of recommendation. You can then copy them and include them with your résumé when you apply for another position, saving the employer the trouble of calling this latest employer. Jaimie
