Sounds a bit weird, but your favourite school subject/s can provide many work skills which you can add to your resume…
let’s explore a few ideas here:
Subject |
What you might say in your resume…. |
What an Employer might think… |
Maths |
I enjoy and am good at maths. I can make mental additions accurately. I am able to problem solve quickly. |
Good at maths! Great! That will be good for measuring angles! Hallelujah! I really need a problem solver! |
English |
English is one of my favourite subjects at school. I particularly enjoy creative writing. I am good at spelling and have neat hand writing. |
Someone who can read and write! Great! Oh, that would be good, someone with a bit of imagination! Fantastic, I will be able to read and make sense of hand written notes! |
Photography |
I enjoy photography and have an amazing portfolio which I can show you. I regularly exhibit my work at the local Agriculture show |
I could use somebody with a bit of imagination in this job. OK, so good at getting things done on time, I like that! |
Science |
Science is a favourite subject of mine, I consistently receive top marks. I particularly enjoy biology. |
Good at science? That means they can think clearly and logically which is good for my business. That could be handy for a future project. |
Art |
I love art and have created some amazing pieces of work. Award winning ANZAC painting. |
That would be good for window displays! Obviously doesn’t mind competing against others… this is good… Perhaps they can fix up the central display in the shop – it needs a bit of work. |
Music |
I play the guitar and piano and attend lessons each week. I make sure I practice each night for at least an hour so I can improve. |
Can commit to something, I like that. Can organise their timetable and stick to it, I like that too! |
Health & PE |
Regularly achieve excellent results. Enjoy maintaining fitness and participating in classes. |
Theory can be tricky in PE, so this kid must be good! I like having fit kids on staff, better than those who spend their whole time on their apps! |
