Notes about this assignment:
- Résumés and cover letters are fluid documents – they change constantly over time, because you are always changing.This assignment will help you create a document that you can use from now on.
- Format – Using good document design, create your own format.Even though our text book advocates the use of MS Word templates, DO NOT use a template for this assignment!!! And yes, I can tell . . . Résumés create in a template will receive a grade no higher than an “C”.
- Keep you print résumé and cover letter to one page each (unless you have years of experience that is relative to the job in question).
- Refer to the detailed course calendar on BB for rough draft due dates /times.
First:
- Find an employment advertisement for which you are, or are almost qualified.Preferably, it will be for an entry level position in your major area. It must list several specific job requirements.You might find this ad in the newspaper or online.In any case, it must be something for which you are, or are “almost”, qualified to apply for.It cannot be a fantasy job, or a job for which you won’t be qualified within the year.
- If found online, copy and paste the ad into Word and save it (save the link, too).Also, print it – just in case.
- If found in the newspaper, cut it out and make a photo copy of it; scan it, if you can.
- You will turn in the advertisement WITH the other assignment documents. (Online courses email the advertisements for approval.)
Résumé:
- Begin drafting.Your résumé is a printed version (see pages 241-243 of the class textbook).It will be written in reverse chronological order.
- Additionally, because this is a printed résumé, you will utilize action verbs to help describe your past duties and jobs.
- As always, your résumé should be carefully tailored so that your qualifications align with those listed in the advertisement.
