I came across a cool resource by Microsoft Student tonight called “Own Your Future”.

From the funky design of the web page,

to the opening video with Kevin Connolly (‘E’ from Entourage), this looks like a site that will capture my students’ attention instantly. The opening video has several good points for students (or anyone for that matter) about how to present a good resume.

The site has information about the following topics:

  • Build a better resume
  • How to approach your job search
  • Prepping for an interview
  • Be a great student leader
  • Be a masterful public speaker

I’m excited to share this site with my seniors tomorrow. I have a few who are still looking for co-op jobs and I already planned on having them spend some time updating their resumes so this will fit right in!
