Project+-+Resume

Throughout the course, we will touch on the topic of resumes. A resume is a written summary of a person's skills, education, interests, and work experience that is used to introduce the individual to a potential employer (or when submitting some other form of application).

Writing your resume is an important process and the resume should be revisited frequently, as your skills and experiences expand.

Here's an example of resumes where the writer should have used peer review and editing.

Project: Write your resume


 * 1) Choose a job title that you will create a resume for.
 * 2) Reflect on ways to customize the resume for this particular job: layout, language, references, job experience, education, goals, etc
 * 3) Write the resume: you can use a template or create your own. Important: Do //__not__// include the job title for which you are applying
 * 4) Exchange resumes with members of your group (based on drawn cards, not your o’clock group). Complete a rubric for each of the resumes that you evaluate. Try to guess what the job was that was being applied for.
