[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 342378, member: 7083"] Thank you for the ideas. Other than a brief stint in competitive gymnastics several years ago, difficult child hasn't been involved in any groups or activities. Her anxiety had nixed that. I'll look into how to create a functional resume. Trinity, I might have some questions for you. I can't seem to remember the difference between the types of resumes, as far as layout and how the information is supplied. That is something I used to know... I was thinking of listing her school (just high school because I don't think the other is relevant) where you would normally have work experience and bullet point that she has tested at high college level for reading and writing and another bullet point for testing above average in other subject areas. Then I thought I would list her skills in a bullet point format: computer proficiency, talent for learning new programs quickly, self taught on x, y, z programs, etc. And then listing her interests and hobbies: reading, writing short stories and novellas, photography, photo editing (self taught), knitting and crocheting (self taught), music, animals, whatever. I will also include an objective and all the other traditional resume information. Marg, I think we'll use the example you provided in the cover letter - modified to fit, of course. Thanks for offering that up. It's a huge help. Those are just my thoughts off the top of my head. I haven't been feeling well enough today to actually sit down and come up with a rough draft of anything. Of course, difficult child will have part in doing this. It will be a great learning experience for her, and will help prepare her for an interview if she understands why we're providing the information we're providing. Keep the ideas and thoughts on how I'm thinking of approaching it coming. I appreciate them a lot. The biggest challenge will be finding clothes that are suitable without completely going out of difficult child's comfort zone. :raspberry-tounge: I'm sure they'll remember her when they see her. We're there a lot and with her style she tends to stand out. It's a really neat book store, by the way, and living in a college town makes it a bit more diverse. Thanks all! [/QUOTE]
