When writing a resume, how do you write about your weaknesses in such a way that will make you more likely to be hired?
Being a tenth grader in high school, I am required to work community service hours. In order to do this I must get a job as a volunteer or intern somewhere. In order to apply for certain positions a resume is required to be submitted. I would like to know how to write one to the best of my ability, so I can be more persuasive, and look more professional. Additionally, in the future I will have to write college applications that could also require me to discuss my strengths and my weaknesses. I feel that it is better for me to learn about these things earlier, than have to desperately figure it out in the future. #college #volunteering #job-application #job-applications
