For Teachers
How to use this lesson
Print the sample job application forms from the lesson page (multiple levels available — each progressively requires more information). Students practice filling in the forms using a provided sample resume, or using their own information for more advanced groups. Have students complete multiple copies, working on handwriting, spelling, and accuracy each time.
The lesson includes a sample success resume — a beginner-friendly format for students with little or no formal work experience to use as reference material. Works well for Grades 7–12, special education life skills classes, and workforce readiness programs for teens and young adults.
