Assignment
Research the different styles of resumes; chronological, functional and combination and determine which is the better format for you to "sell yourself" to an employer; then draft your resume accordingly. As we will see, many people will have a lot of experience and many people will have little experience; either situation is okay. When putting a resume together, think about everything that you have done; both paid and unpaid and what skills did you gain from those experiences?
On the discussion board you will find a forum for resumes, there you will either upload a Word document, or PDF file, or create a web site if you have the ability. If you have a resume that is already available on the web, you can provide a link to it. If you are using Office 2007/10; please save the file as a 2003 format so that everyone will be able to open the document.
You will select three resumes and provide feedback to the author regarding style, format, grammar, proofreading etc. What stands out that got your attention; what was distracting? This is an opportunity to get and give constructive feedback.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
