Melinda asked about about curriculum materials for resume writing and job
search.  My pet peeve is recreating materials that are already available.
These may need to be updated, but they are public domain and can be adapted
to your situation.
1)  There are a few lessons on career awareness and resume writing
techniques that you can access on OTAN.   
1.  http://www.otan.us  (There's a very short registration process & it's
free)
2.  Click on OTAN for Teachers on the left side.
3.  Click on ESL/Citizenship/EL Civics at the top of the page.
4.  Click on Lesson Plans--other.
5.  It's on the first page of links that are presented here, called ESL
Internet Lessons.
6.  Find the lessons on careers and resumes.
2) The VESL Clearinghouse Catalog has a whole section on World of Work.  You
can read abstracts of those lessons on OTAN.
1.  http://www.otan.us 
2.  Click on OTAN Resources.
3.  Click on Reference Libraries.
4.  Click on CA VESL Workplace Clearinghouse.
5.  Find the World of Work section.

Subject: [Workplace 483] Resume and Job Training Materials for ESL students



Hi Donna,
I have a question for the list serve. 
We are running a temporary Job Club here at the Center for Immigrant
Education and Training, LaGuardia College and may want to develop it into a
permanent service.  Could anyone suggest curriculum materials for resume
writing and job search? I'm interested in learning more about current
practices and what good materials are available for ESL students.
Thank you
Melinda
