Lecture 7B
(Week 7, Period B)
The Resume

Here are 

• A sample letter of application and 
• A sample résumé.
• My current résumé
• My 1996 résumé

Notice that the first 2 have the same font, letterhead, and page background. 

In addition to what I say in the lecture, I'd like to add a couple of things to the resume.

1. Set the background of the page some nice color for a resume. When I had students turn in paper copies, I had them turn them in on resume paper. You can see how to set the background in the image below.

 

2. I'd also like you to use the same letterhead and background for both the letter and the resume. A lot of times, the resumes come in looking great, but the letters not so much. Make sure both the letter and the resume have the same style (letterhead, background, font, etc.). A resume won't get you a job, but it can keep you from getting one.
