Class 4: Resume & Setting up your web-portfolio

Welcome back to the class. I hope you all have had a great weekend. Today is the due date for the Late Pass quiz. Please give me your Late Pass quiz before or after the class.

Today we have two major tasks:
1. Talking about the first assignment: resume;
2. Start setting up your web-portfolio.

You should have brought four digital images including one of yourself.

Assignment: Resume

In order to get you started thinking about your future I want for you to create a resume. Some of you may already have one and others may not. If you have one you may adjust it to suit this assignment (no use in recreating the wheel). Your resume should be professional and its purpose should focus on educational jobs. You'll want everything to look professional, so use a resume template for PCs (browse for resume templates). A resume provides a quick overview of your educational background, work experience, and skills to prospective employers. Several components that are required or optional in your resume are:

• Contact information (required)
  
• Objective (required)
  
• Education (required)
  
• Work Experience (required, can be volunteer service)
  
• Honors and Awards (optional)
  
• Computer Skills/Special Skills (optional)
  
• Personal Interests (optional)
  
• Professional References (required)
  

Here are some sites to help you in creating your resume:

You will need to submit the resume before the class starts on Friday, January 18th.
