Assume you are applying for a job. You are about to graduate from either high school or college, and now you want to go out into the world to earn some serious money.

Create a resume of your qualifications. Do this in a slide deck, and submit as a pdf file. A minimum of 5 slides of CONTENT (in addition to title etc). In the resume, explain your personal qualifications that make you an attractive employment candidate.

NOTE: This is an individual assignment. Each student must complete and submit.

Your resume should include:

Name

Name of school

Courses you have taken that apply to the job you are interviewing for

Extra organizations, skills, jobs, etc that make you an attractive candidate

Personal characteristics that make you an attractive candidate

Any job skills that you have



Take this seriously. Visuals are helpful. You will do a stand-up presentation to the class when I return.
