Before starting your formal Résumé Project, you’ll begin by completing this forum discussion. This activity will help you reflect on your current résumé or CV, explore current job opportunities in your field, and start thinking about how to tailor your application materials for a career opportunity.
Step 1 ????
Create a post and attach your current résumé or CV.
Step 2 ????
Using the resources provided in this module (the textbook tips and materials listed in the resources section), discuss how your current résumé or CV compares to what you now know a strong, professional résumé or CV should look like. What do you think works well? What do you need to improve or update? Reference specific resources from this module that influenced your reflection.
Step 3 ????
Search online for a real job posting that is in your field of study and requires the degree you’re currently working toward. If you currently work in a position where you used a previous degree or certification, you may find a similar job posting to your current career and qualifications. If you’d rather focus on a graduate program or internship, that’s also fine! Find an opportunity that you will be qualified for post-graduation. FOR EVERYONE: You must link your career posting in your post.
Step 4 ????
Explain why you chose the job, internship, or graduate program and how you might tweak your résumé or CV to become a stronger candidate.
Step 5 ????
It has been a while since you have engaged with your peers, so reply to one peer post. There are no requirements for this step. Just be friendly, conversational, and respectful!
