Resume Assignment

Paper #2

Due: By midnight on Sunday of Module 6

This assignment is worth 100 points.

Guidelines

Very simply, you need to create a 1-page resume. If you already have a resume, you can use it as a starting point, but you’ll most likely want to make significant improvements to it after our in-class lecture.

You can use your real experience (which is what most students do), or you can fabricate realistic experience to use as a placeholder. You will not be graded based on your experience (or lack thereof); you’ll be graded on the template you create—layout, formatting, organization, design, descriptions, etc.

· This should be a resume you can use after you graduate.

· Base your improvements on our in-class resume lecture.

· This is the one assignment this semester that you can submit as either a Word doc or PDF.

· Unless you speak to me prior to submitting (and have a very good reason for a longer resume), this should be a standard 1-page resume.

· We will conduct an in-class draft review of the resumes, so be prepared to have your resume critiqued by your classmates.

On a side note, resumes are one type of document where it’s very easy to find lots of “standard” advice and “rules,” much of which is poor advice and unproductive. Be prepared to challenge what you think you know about resumes.
