INF 112 Seminar Two
What is happening this week?
Tables and Templates to Create Resumes and Cover Letters
If you ever needed to put together a resume before, it can be time consuming for two reasons. First, you need to gather all of your important education, job, and reference information. Secondly, it takes time to decide on the formatting and style that fits your personality. When I created my first resume, MS Word did not have resume or cover letter templates. I had to use books, references, and go to a resume writing seminar to figure out what I wanted to include in my job seeking documentation! Times have certainly changed because there are so many templates to choose from now. This seminar, you will spend some time on a resume, cover letter, reference list, and an envelope.
Questions for you Have you ever constructed a resume? Did you use a template? Did you know that Word has pre-designed templates? Can you see yourself ever using one of these in the future? | More questions for you Have you ever applied for a job where you needed to include a cover letter? What is the purpose of a cover letter? | Something to think about It is so important that you check for any spelling and grammatical errors before sending it to any potential employer! In my previous job, I was able to be on the hiring committee. The first thing that we did was check for any errors. If we found any, the resume went into the trash. So be aware that this is a way to bring in only the elite for an interview! |
