Weekly Assignment: Resume your Resume

Keeping in mind the points we talked about in class, begin working on your resume.

You need:

Header- Your name (no nicknames), your address, and the best phone number to reach you

Objective- Let the company you are applying know what your goal is.

ex. Objective: To obtain a position in a the field of mass communications and/or journalism, and work my way into management.

Education: Starting with the most recent first. Do not include elementary school.

Experience: Again, start with the most recent job.
Under each one, list your responsibilities.
Avoid cliche termanology such as 'Hard Worker' or 'Able to Juggle Multiple Task.' The trick is to be honest, straight forward, and a little creative with termonology.
