Week 4: Assignment: Draft of Targeted Resume

The following resource is required for this assignment: Resume Evaluation Checklist   .

Part 1: Job Advertisement

Visit online job search sites or talent networks and select a job ad for which you will target your resume. Paste the text of the job ad that includes the full description of the job, including the job title, job requirements, skills, knowledge, and so forth, into a Microsoft Word document and save it as JobAdLASTName.docx. Do not submit a link or a screenshot of the job ad. 

Part 2: Targeted Resume

Your targeted resume must include the following components.

·         Personal information (name, address, phone number, email address, LinkedIn Profile link)

o    For the purpose of this assignment, you may use generic information for the address and phone number.

·         The Target Job Title matching the job ad

·         Professional Summary that reflects the student's skills and experiences relative to the job description (not an Objective; must be a Professional Summary)

o    Omit any personal pronouns (for example: I, me, my).

·         Education history that includes accurate degree title; for example, A.A. or B.S. in _____

·         A Skills Summary that includes both technical and transferable skills organized in a logical order

·         Work experience that is summarized by using achievement statements, not task lists

o    Summarize your work experience in four to five points under each position held, focusing on concrete and measurable accomplishments. Do not use personal pronouns.

Part 3: Resume Evaluation Checklist

Fill out and submit your completed Resume Evaluation Checklist. All of the shaded cells need to show either G/F/P or Y/N based on your self-evaluation of your targeted resume.

Check that your submission is complete with three Microsoft Word documents. Do not submit pdfs or a .zip file.

1.      A current job ad with full description of the position requirements, not a link or a screenshot, pasted into a Word document and saved as JobAdLASTName.docx

2.      Targeted Resume saved as your ResumeLASTName.docx

3.      Resume Evaluation Checklist (all of the shaded cells need to be filled in and saved as ChecklistLASTName.docx)

·         Your resume should have appropriate headings and design elements (e.g., white space, bold, underline, italics, varying font sizes*) to improve readability and visual appeal.

·         You should also make efforts to limit the resume to one or two pages. The resume must also be targeted to the job ad and be free of spelling and grammatical errors.

*Note: Students should take care to avoid overusing all of these design elements in one document.

Submit all three parts of your assignment by Sunday, January 31 at the end of the day.  Also please note the following:

·         The resume you submit needs to be a MS Word document, but it does not have to be in any particular format (in terms of layout) as long as it includes all of the components that are required for this assignment (i.e. personal information, target job title, professional summary, education history, etc. -- see the expectations for this Assignment under Week 4 in "Modules").  Many of you probably have an existing version of your resume, and it is fine to update and customize that version, keeping your current format, as long as you incorporate the required content sections.

·         For those who are starting from scratch on creating your resume (or who want to use a different kind of page layout than what you have in the past), our text provides some great examples of formats you can use in this week's Chapter 5 reading.  See page 115 ("Maria Rodriguez) and Chapter 5A ("Real Student Examples") on pages 149 through 166. You don't have to follow any of these examples -- these are just suggestions.  Note that some of the examples do not include all of the elements that you need to incorporate for this assignment, so you will need to build those in -- but you can do so in a way that is consistent with the page layout in the example you are following.
