Your last individual (major) assignment will be to create a cover letter and resume. Here are the details:
1. Locate a real job or internship (one that you could realistically apply for now or at graduation)--you will use that job posting for your cover letter and to focus the resume.
2. On Thursday, please bring a rough draft of your cover letter and resume to class.
3. Next Tuesday, a final draft of the cover letter and resume are due at the beginning of class.
Of course, please feel free to contact me with any questions at all during the creation of these documents...
In addition:
For the resume projects, I'd like to provide some samples for reference. The best ones I've found are http://www.quintcareers.com/resume_samples.html -- look at all of the "New Graduate" samples. However, feel free to check out http://www.susanireland.com/resumeindex.htm and http://www.resume-resource.com/exstu3.html as well. Remember that there are different ways to create an effective resume--just make sure you follow the suggestions we discussed in class. Also, here's a great link for information on action verbs:http://www.quintcareers.com/action_skills.html And, here is a good example of a cover letter: http://jobsearch.about.com/od/coverlettersamples/a/recentgrad.htm |
