When your child enters high school, it is a great time to begin thinking about their resume, whether they have one established, or they're just getting started; compiling all of their accomplishments, interests, activities, and experiences becomes useful as they consider looking for jobs, volunteering, heading to college, applying for scholarships, or even asking for letters of recommendation.

Here are a few resources to help them get started:

• Resume Building Tips from College Board
• ASVAB Resume Building Tips
• Sample High School Resumes
• Action Verbs for Resumes

If your child is considering college after high school, summertime can be a good time to begin college visits. Summer schedules can offer a little more flexibility to spend more time on campus; additionally, admissions reps will be slightly less busy and may have more time to engage with you about the campus.

When students are building their college lists, it is so important to find the right fit. While that includes academic programs, finances, weather, etc., a few other major factors include the campus, the people, and the activities. It's important to see those in person, as that campus has the potential to be their future home for four years!
