<p>Should ZG bring an updated resume (and should include attendance at her college) to school, in case she wants to job hunt? She does have employment experience.</p>
<p>I have my resume saved to my computer, but I usually have a copy of it somewhere, just in case.</p>
<p>Why wouldn’t she have her resume on her computer and update or modify as appropriate for the job/internship she is applying for as needed, and then print out or email it? Many resumes are submitted by email these days.</p>
<p>Brand new, as-yet-unused college computer.</p>
<p>What I really wonder is whether her high school “stuff” is still relevant, or if it’s too early to put her college on the resume.</p>
<p>High school stuff could be relevant depending on the job. I did some summer work in a library two summers in high school. I kept it on my resume when I was applying for a part-time library job after college. It didn’t go on my resume to architecture firms. In a general sort of way I think it’s okay to have high school things on your resume until you have enough college stuff to fill up a page.</p>
<p>I would definitely put the high school work experience. It shows dependability, etc.
My S worked at a grocery store for two years in high sch. and had no trouble getting a grocery store job in his college town (same chain).</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter if her computer is new - I am sure she will be able to access her email on any computer. She shoud email it to herself as an attachment and then save it on the computer when she sets it up later.</p>

<p>She can certainly do it. I was wondering (on her behalf) if she should simply start fresh.</p>
<p>Sorry - I misunderstood the question. Since she is just starting college, she won’t have much to “start fresh” with right now. I think she should start with her current resume and add things as appropriate. As she adds more things she has done since she started college, she can remove some less important high school things. </p>
<p>My son graduated college in 2006 and is changing jobs after one year at his first job. He still has some notable things from high school on his current resume as a college graduate seeking a second job.</p>
<p>i’m a college student and i definitely think she should bring a resume with her to school. she never knows who she may meet or what great opportunity may come up. and don’t worry, most people will realize that her resume is either from high school because she has just started college.</p>
<p>she should probably continue to use that resume until second semester when she has squared all her new stuff and can add it to a resume.</p>
<p>The easiest way to transfer documents between computers (and create a backup at the same time) is to email it to yourself if you have web-based mail. When my D was writing her thesis, she emailed it to me often. That way there was a copy in my web-based gmail, her gmail, on my computer, and on her computer. </p>
<p>I think your D should put something about her college on her resume now while she has free time. She can put the college name and expected graduation date, for example.</p>

<p>Put documents (including resume) from the “old already used” computer on a thumb drive and then create a folder on the new computer. OR have DD email it as an attachment to herself at her school email address.</p>
