Resumé Builders & Tips: 

General Tips:

  • Have a parent or teacher proofread your resumé.

  • Spell out everything on your resumé. Do not use abbreviations like "St." for "Street" or "Ave." for "Avenue."

  • If you have to mail your resumé, do not fold it, use a large envelope to send it.

  • Keep resumé clean, with no smudges, tears, or folds.

  • Do not use a font larger than 20.

  • Don't get too fancy with your resumé unless you are applying for an advertising or related position.

  • Only include your GPA if it is 3.0 or higher.

  • Always include area codes with each phone number.

  • Your Name should be the largest & boldest print on the resumé.

Do I need a Work Permit?

Yes, if:

  • You are not 18 years old.

  • Have been offered a job, have changed jobs, or are currently working.

No, if:

  • You are already 18 (even if you have not graduated yet).

  • You are looking for a job, are applying or interviewing, but haven’t been offered a position yet.

How to Obtain a Work Permit:                                                                                                                             

  • Students will pick up a Work Permit Application from their library or counseling/career office.

  • Students will complete Minor’s Information and School Information.

  • A parent or legal guardian must sign their portion of the form.

  • Students must return completed applications with all signatures to the library or counseling office and email me at Jace.Biendara@hesperiausd.org to let me know that it has been turned in. I will check grades, attendance, and behavior to make sure the student qualifies. Scans or pictures of docs are helpful but do not replace actual documents.

  • Students will be contacted when the Work Permit is ready for pick up (24 to 48 hours). 

  • “Wet” signatures are required by myself and the student on the actual permit, so I must meet with them to issue the permit. Digital copies or digital signatures are not permitted. 

  • Students must take the completed Permit to Employ and Work (Form B1-4) back to the employer. 

  • Work permit applications can also be printed from the following link:
