DQ3 post a rough draft of your resume here

This discussion topic is designed to help
you get started on writing assignment #2, the resume and cover letter.

For this discussion topic, please complete
the following:

1. Post a resume for yourself that you have
on file now. You can post it as an
attachment in Word, PDF, or RTF format.

If you do not have a resume on file now,
you can use the tips and strategies from this week’s resources to help you
create a draft of a resume.

Please note that this is a draft of a
resume. You don’t need to post a
polished, perfect resume to this discussion topic.

2. Respond to at least two other students
on their resumes. Try to give at least
one area that could use improvement.
You might draw upon the tips given in the Resume Tutorial that was given
in Content for week 2 or from the Resume and Cover Letter tips page that was
given in Content for week 2. You can
also draw from the sample resume walk-through that was linked to in this week’s
activities.

Your suggestions for improvement can be a
short paragraph. You don’t have to write a whole essay noting to your classmate
how to improve the resume.

Please be professional and encouraging as
you give advice to your classmates on their resumes.

The resume should be posted by Sunday. Your advice to two other classmates is due
next Wednesday.

(Of
course, please feel free to post your resume before Sunday and your advice
before next Wednesday.)
