Summarize this article in one sentence.
Employers want to hire someone who is qualified for the job, so put down positions at camps and other organizations where you have previously worked. Try to keep your listings to the past 2-3 years. Be sure to note any special skills or certifications that you have (i.e, CPR training). Keep keywords in mind when writing your resume. Terms like "good with kids" and "CPR certified" may stick out more to a summer camp that's looking to hire. Consider using a program like Microsoft Word to create your resume. This makes it easy to have a digital or print copy on hand, if necessary. If you want to use something other than Word, there are websites that offer different resume templates to choose from. Some people choose to use a website to display their resume. Sites like WordPress can do this, but they may make it more difficult for you to print out a hard copy of your resume. Depending on the summer camp, you may have to come in to interview for the position. Think ahead to what you may be asked, such as questions regarding your leadership skills or your ability to work with others. At some point after the interview, be sure to send a thank you email to the camp for their time and consideration. This will make you stand out as a courteous applicant. If you don't hear back from the camp within a week, consider sending a follow-up email about your job application. Since most summer camp jobs are seasonal, it is better to be proactive and make the most of your time during your job search. Depending on the position you're applying for, you may be required to get some additional certifications, like CPR training. Certain health organizations offer CPR and other first aid courses for a fee. In addition to basic first aid skills, you can also learn wilderness first aid, along with other training.
Prepare a great resume. Get ready for a possible job interview. Send a follow-up email in 1 week. Receive any necessary certifications.
