M14A1: Preparing a Professional Resume

For this assignment, you will be developing a professional resume.  Having a professional resume is essential for whether you are looking for a job now or in the future.  According to Vault.com Why You Need a Resume (Links to an external site.) (2016), resumes are often the first and sometimes only document an employer sees regarding your candidacy for employment.

Resumes are more than a basic work history. They are dynamic documents used to sell your skills, experiences, and value to a potential employer. Resumes should focus on accomplishments and impressive quantifiers to engage the reader. Taking the time to target your resume for each job application is well worth the effort. Employers often have hundreds of documents to evaluate for every open position, and targeting your resume will help you stand out amongst the rest!

According to Excelsior College Career Services, there are several basic types of resumes (Links to an external site.) used to apply for job openings. Depending on your personal circumstances, choose a chronological, a functional, or combination resume.

For detailed resume information and examples, view the Vault Resume Tips and Samples (Links to an external site.).

To begin, please review this week’s readings related to resumes and the Career Center (Links to an external site.) resources. Then create your resume.  If you prefer not to include any personal information such as address, phone, or email, simply include generic names on your resume.  The rest of your resume should include your real-life work experience, education, and skills.

This is your final assignment for the course and will be submitted in Module 14. It should include the following:

1. A professional resume
2. A proofread and grammatically correct document that highlights your professional accomplishments.
