Due 11am, Monday 1/30/12
The purpose of this assignment is to become familiar with accessing files you will store on the barney file server. As a by-product, it will get you ready to contact potential employees for summer or full-time jobs and build an e-portfolio.
Resume [20 points]
Whether you are ready to look for a job or not, it is always a good idea to have a current resume. Microsoft Word (or any modern word processor) has several templates for creating your resume "easily". These templates provide pre-formatted headings and indented areas for common resume sections, with "blanks" to fill in your appropriate data. For this assignment, you will be creating a resume which must minimally contain sections with your current contact data, a job objective or goal, previous and current education, all previous employment held (dates, employers, job titles, brief job descriptions), pertinent skills (ie, computer fluency with specific applications!), and other activities. Eventually you can add this resume to your personal webpage system to make it easier for employers to find you.
If you use word the following describes how to build a resume using Word templates. You do not need to use word to complete this assignment. Any word processor will work – including a basic text editor.
In order to start your resume with a template in Microsoft Word, select "New" from the “Office” button (file menu in Office 2007). This should cause a New Document menu to be displayed. In the "New from Template" section of the menu, click on "General Templates" (if you are using Word 2007 you may select “Resumes” from the online templates). When the option window pops up, click on the "Other Documents" tab. Depending on your version of Word, you might have several different resume options. You might also have a "Resume Wizard" option. Wizards are step-through processes which are intended to walk us through the initial stages of creating a new document by asking for specific data. Choose any template or the wizard to create a starter document. You must then edit this document to personalize the various sections for your own data and experience. Save the resume (often as you are working) in a file called "resume.doc".
Once you have created and saved your resume you must copy it to your barney account and save it in the “documents\itec101” directory. To do this use winscp.exe if you are a Windows user. (for MAC users try Cyberduck or Fetch). Remember the computer host name you will connect to is barney.gonzaga.edu.
