- Revised Draft of Project 5 (15 pts.)
Use regular e-mail to submit your revised draft of your letter to Ms. Malcolm. Be sure that you have saved your file
in Rich Text Format, which will preserve the formatting. Attach your revised project to an e-mail message to me. Be sure
to fill in the "Subject" line of your e-mail message. In the body of the e-mail, be sure to put your name and to notify me
that your revised draft of Project 5 is attached to the message. Please submit those drafts by
10 or 11 Nov.
- Writing/Online Exercise 8: Resume Myths and Legends (2 pts.)
Let's share some "myths and legends" about the resume process, such as the warnings about
multiple-page resumes and the like. Also, you might speculate on submitting resumes and cover
letters from a job-search web site, which has become an increasingly important and complex
concern for professionals. Some of you, as I have, might have seen such resumes. (Some of you
might have experiences with, as I have, organizations that require a double-submission of
resumes: one copy submitted electronically through a web-based application and another
print-based copy submitted through postal mail.) Share your stories. These are usually quite
fun, so take it in that spirit. (Here's another: I once heard a "resume-writing gurus" tell
people to use colored paper so that their documents would stand out in the crowd.)
Please post your response by 10 November.
- Writing/Online Exercise 9: Web Research on Resume-Writing Web Sites (2 pts.)
Search the web for a web site that offers information regarding writing employment
documents, such as resumes and cover letters. You might have to look at three or four sites to
find one that offers useful and valuable information.
Then, write a summary of the web site. Be sure to include the URL of the site in your
summary. Your summary should be no shorter than one paragraph, but it should summarize the web
site, not explain everything in it.
Please post those summaries by 10 November.
- For 17 Nov
Two Assignments:
- Rough Draft of Employment (1 pt.)
Use regular e-mail to submit a rough draft of your Project 6. Be sure that you have saved
your file in Rich Text Format, which will preserve the formatting. Attach your draft to an
e-mail message to me. Be sure to fill in the "Subject" line of your e-mail message. In the
body of the e-mail, be sure to put your name and to notify me that your rough draft of
Project 6 is attached to the message. Please submit those drafts by Saturday, 17 November.
- APS for Project 6 (2 pts.)
Complete an Audience Profile Sheet for Project 7. Keep in mind that I do not know the
audience of the project. Also, your APS should also document the structure
and organization of your documents, as well as the different font sizes and faces used.
Documenting those typographical conventions makes it easier for you to generate subsequent
versions of your employment documents
