I have never made a resume before; however, in high school I had an activity tracker that was very similar to a resume. The activity tracker did not have personal information such as my address, contact information, job histories, etc... It was more along the lines of high school activities, clubs, organizations, sports teams, awards, and community service. It was a very lengthy list of various achievements, and I would like to continue that into college.
Before I graduate college I would like to accomplish many things that would better my resume. Some things such as student mentoring, practicum, and student teaching will be required in my schooling, but I would like things that are outside the box. Some things that I have already started that would look good on my resume would be president of the Indoor Track Club Team, Secretary of Purington Residence Hall, member of CRC (Campus Residence Council), member of the volleyball and kickball intramural sports teams, and baseball varsity athlete. Other things include possible job opportunities on campus, community service through APO, and other intramural sports.
When I get my teaching certificate and start teaching, I still need to remember that there are things I can do to enhance my resume in case there are other job opportunities. I would like to become a coach of at least one sports team, be the adviser of at least one club, and bring good fundraising ideas to the school that I could be the head of. I would also like to go back to school part time while teaching in order to receive my masters degree in either mathematics or education, and I would like to achieve certification by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS). There are many different things that can be brought to the table to better a resume, and it just depends on how hard you would like to try, and how much time you are willing to give.
