ASSIGNMENT: Final Resume
Final Resume (15 points)
Learning Objective: I will create my final resume.
For this assignment, you will be creating your final resume based on your Resume Brainstorm worksheet you completed last week.
Instructions:
Step 1. Go to your Google Drive and open your Resume Brainstorm worksheet you completed last week. Review any feedback provided by your instructor so you can make sure your resume is professional and well-written this week.
Step 2. Make a copy of this Student Resume Template and name it "LastName, FirstName Resume" OR find another template online you would like to use. Just make sure your final resume has all of the following sections:
- Contact Information (you can make up your address or just write your city and state)
- Summary Statement (this is where you state why YOU would be a good fit for this job, not why you would like the job)
- Education (with school, the year you will graduate, and GPA)
- Experience/Employment History (think about at least 1 experience that you've had even if you've never had a job)
- Skills that go along with the job that you chose to apply for (write these in a bulleted list)
- Awards and Achievements (think of at least 1 award or achievement you've had in your lifetime)
Step 3. Fill out the resume template based on the specific job you chose last week. Make sure you delete the examples.
Step 4. Make the resume your own and choose a different traditional font (not cursive) that is easy to read and a different color for the text that is in blue. Don't forget this step so you don't miss points!
Step 5. Check to make sure your resume has the following general formatting rules:
- 1-inch margins (File > Page setup > 1 inch margins > OK)
- Use a traditional font (not cursive) such as Times New Roman or Tahoma
- 11-12 point font for descriptions
- No more than 2 colors
- Needs to all fit on one page (get rid of any unnecessary wording or extra skills that don't really go along with the job you are applying for)
- Easy to read, not overly crowded
- Proofread for grammar and spelling
Step 6. Get organized by moving your document into your “Word Processing Assignments” folder (File > Move > Word Processing Assignments > Move > Move).
