Article Writing Homework Help

This is very good practice for the”real world.”Many jobs now requireRESUMESto be submitted electronically.So,here is an opportunity to do just that:submit your finalresume here.

Be sure it looks exactly like you want it to look; the best way to ensure this is to submit a pdf file.

Once your resume passes all of these tests:

1.All necessary contact information at the TOP of the page – name, address, email, phone numbers, (social media if desired)

2.A SOLID BLACK LINE between the contact information and the rest of the resume, like this…

3.Your resume has a HIGHLIGHTS, SKILLS, QUALIFICATIONS section at the top, designed to catch the reader’s attention right away. You only get a few seconds of reading time, so you must highlight your skills and qualifications immediately!

4. You list your EDUCATION next, includingONLY advanced/higher education (NO high schools)

5. You list your WORK EXPERIENCE/EMPLOYMENT HISTORY (DO NOT use only the word “EXPERIENCE” AS IT IS TOO VAGUE!) – Your work history does NOT focus on DUTIES OR RESPONSIBILITIES! Your resume instead listsyour WORK ACCOMPLISHMENTS – informing the reader HOW WELL YOU DO/DID YOUR JOB! (THIS IS ONE OF THE KEYS TO CREATING A MODERN 21ST CENTURY RESUME.)

6. Your resume has ELIMINATED all VAGUE, MEANINGLESS, TIRED phrases like: team-player, dedicated, motivated, works well with others, fast learner, and computer efficient. Instead you have replaced these terms with clear specific EXAMPLES – like this: Volunteered to lead a team of employees in the annual food drive for the homeless. Served as the president of the company’s Employee/Management Discussion Group.

7. Your resume can also have another section, if you have the space: PROFESSIONAL TRAINING, VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE, INTERNSHIPS, SPECIFIC SKILLS, LANGUAGES. You can add anything – as long as it will help you get a specific job!

8. Your resume DOES NOT LIST REFERENCES – OR ANY REFERENCE TO REFERENCES – i.e. – References Available on Request 9. You have a MASTERPIECE – PERFECT LOOK, ZERO WRITING ERRORS, A RESUME THAT HIGHLIGHTS YOU AND YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS!!!

***Special Reminder= It is usuallyveryobvious to me when students submit resumes without ever looking at the lecture notes,slides,and sample resumes.DO NOT be one of these students.
