Student Worker, Office of Humanities Resume Example

I am the son of an auctioneer from Batavia, New York. Growing up in the auction industry, I follow after my father in having a passion for history. I also however, have accumulated a wide range of abilities in my experiences in the auction business, as well as other experiences I have had. I am well-versed in physical labor, cashiering, office work, customer service, operating machinery, and food preparation. I am always willing to pick up any job that I am giving and to execute it to the best of my ability, though my true passion is for the world of research and academics. An employer can rest assured that no matter what my job is, I am responsible, analytical, honest, and prompt with my work.

• Running (I am a student-athlete on the collegiate Cross Country and Track & Field teams at Roberts Wesleyan College)
• Reading (Particularly about history)
• Collecting historical documents, books, prints, etc.
• Music (I play the violin and sing in a local a capella group)

Like I said, I am very passionate about history. In a class about Lincoln and the Civil War (during my first semester in the fall), I completed a research project on a local Civil War general from my hometown, Maj. Gen. Emory Upton. I did extensive research on this individual, and produced an equally extensive paper and presentation on him. I am happy to share these resources if contacted!
