CV Creation & Personal Presentation / module 1 of 1
Your First Real CV
The learner mines their real life (projects, ventures, volunteering, skills) and shapes it into an honest, well-formatted one-page CV.
Guide
Start with the inventory exercise: list everything the learner has made, sold, organized, learned, or helped with in the last two years. Homeschoolers usually discover they have more than schooled peers: micro-businesses, presentations, gardens grown, younger children taught. Then structure: contact, one-line profile, experience, skills, education. Rule: every line must be true and provable in conversation.
Material
- One-page CV template, plain format (platform library)
- Inventory worksheet
- Ten real CV examples, good and bad, annotated
Activities
Inventory: two-page brain dump of real experiences. Draft and cut: write everything, then cut to one page, learning that cutting is the skill. Exchange: swap CVs with another learner and ask: 'What would you question in an interview?' Live test: hand the CV to an adult who hires people and collect one piece of feedback.
You will need
A computer with any document editor, or neat handwriting and one photocopy.
Check yourself
A finished one-page CV where the learner can speak for one minute about any line on it when asked.
