The purpose of this resume assignment is to help you prepare an updated resume
geared toward a job. Once you’ve prepared it, you can tweak it whenever you need to
apply for jobs in real life.
One of the best things about doing the resume for our class is that it helps you see how
prepared – or not prepared – you are for your future. If you don’t have much on your
resume, then NOW is the time to join clubs, volunteer, apply for internships, take
courses, get experience.

This assignment requires 2 items:
1.A cover letter: the cover letter accompanies the resume and asks for the
interview. Because so many of today’s resumes are emailed, your cover
letter will be in email format.
2. a resume tailored to meet an ad: the resume opens the door for the
interview by highlighting your skills, work experience, and education. A
Minimum of references must be professional (supervisors), not
personal (no friends, relatives or co-workers)
