If you’ve never written a resume or had to speak to a
potential employer, it is sometimes difficult to find the right words to
describe your skills and abilities.
The following information has been taken from the
brochure, Skill Building, published
by Human Resources Development Canada.
The complete brochure is available at CERC.
If you…
… get good grades and participate in school
activities…
Say this to
an employer…
“I manage my time well and can concentrate on
multiple projects at once”
If you …
… like to come up with your own ideas and
follow-through to the completion of the job without a lot of supervision…
Say this to
an employer…
“ I am self-directed and able to take the
initiative”.
If you …
… are a good listener and help your friends work
through their problems and make important decisions …
Say this to
an employer …
“I can understand many different points of view and
have excellent problem-solving skills”.
If you …
… believe that practice makes perfect, for everything
from sports to school exams …
Say this to
an employer…
“I am persistent,
determined, motivated and goal-oriented”.
If you …
… have babysitting experience and have been given a
lot of responsibility at home …
Say this to
an employer …
“I am trustworthy and appreciate the importance of
responsibility”.
If you …
…are athletic and focus a lot of time on sports or
training…
Say this to
an employer…
“I am very task-oriented and focused.”
If you …
…have ever participated in volunteer work…
Say this to
an employer…
“I believe it is important to contribute to the
community as well as develop my own skills.”
If you …
… know what you want and aren’t afraid to speak up
for yourself…
Say this to
an employer…“I am determined, direct
and assertive.”
