PROJECT 1: UCSO Resume (REQUIRED) |
|
Must be uploaded to the UCSO website
before |
|
OVERVIEW:
Required Project |
|
The resume is the
fundamental tool around which all of the UCSO’s career services revolve. It
is an instrument with which you will sell yourself to prospective employers
by organizing and presenting your goals, education, experience, activities,
and honors. The utmost care should be taken in its preparation. It is vital
that this resume be well organized, articulate, and completely free of
typographical, spelling, and grammatical errors. NOTE:
Project 1, Project 2, and Project 23 (the final project) are required projects and must be
completed in order to pass the course. |

PROJECT
INSTRUCTIONS: |
|
Read the Resume/Cover Letter Guide on the UCSO website for instructions on completing and
submitting this project. You must follow these instructions carefully to earn
full credit for Project 1. You need to begin constructing (or finalizing)
your resume now. See the sections on Resume Services and Registering with Career Services in the Policies and Definitions manual on the UCSO website. |
|
REQUIREMENTS: |
|
A. ALL sections of the UCSO resume template MUST be completed in order to obtain credit
for this project. Your original X220 resume, if not substantially updated
based upon the information received in the discussion session and Lecture 2,
will fail this project. B. The career objective is recommended to be included
in this resume and should be both clear and concise. The other sections
should be thorough and descriptive. You are expected to draw heavily from
class and the textbook in order to prepare a well written,
professional-looking general resume. In Project 3 you may develop a longer 2-
to 3-page Networking
Recommender Resume free-form style. C. Because the UCSO resume is typically viewed on the
web, it may be slightly longer than one page. For the purpose of this resume
and this project, it is more important to include all pertinent details than
to be concerned with length initially; but, the finished project must be only
approximately one page. D. You should incorporate the suggestions from the
first Discussion Session titled “Creating Your Resume” into your resume
design. Lecture 2 will have a component on “Creating Your Networking Resume”
that you can share with your networking partners and recommenders for
networking purposes. E. In addition to your uploaded resume on the UCSO
website, you should also send your MS Word resume via attachment in Oncourse
email to your Career Counselor. Bring a paper copy of your resume with you to
your counseling lab session in Week 2. Your Career Counselor will advise you
on how it might be improved. The resume must be
submitted prior to the deadline following the directions on the web and as
outlined in the UCSO Resume/Cover Letter Guide. Deliverables: You should turn in to your Career Counselor (via Oncourse email
attachment and paper copy): Ø
Your resume. The resume should
also be uploaded into the UCSO website. |

Projects 1, 2, and 23
are required to pass the course.
You must choose from the list of optional projects to add to the required
point accumulation and required number of projects to earn the grade you
desire. Project 23 must be the last project you turn in. Project 23 is due
during your final lab session in Week 10 of the semester. To prepare for that
final requirement you must submit Project
2, the Career Plan, during the Week 2 lab with your newly assigned Career
Counselor. |
