Resume 1st Draft

This assignment measures Module Objective 2.2, which supports Course Competency 2.

Objectives

• 2.2 Produce a one-page resume in the GCC Career Services format, and revise every bullet to begin with an action verb and correct each item flagged in feedback. (Course Competency 2)

Overview

Your resume is the most important document in your job search. This first draft is about content, not design. You write it yourself, without AI and without a template, because AI can only tailor strong base material later; it cannot supply your history or your voice.

10 points, Process Work. About 3 hours.

Resume Writing and Typography Standards

Every draft in this course is evaluated against the AVC248 Resume Guide: implied first person, action verbs, consistent tense and periods, one typeface, hanging bullets, flush-left text and a correctly formatted header. Read it before you start.

Instructions

1. Read the AVC248 Resume Guide first; it is the standard for every resume draft in this course. The GCC Career Services Resume and Cover Letter Guide (PDF) is the full reference, with sample resumes in the traditional and combination formats.
2. Open a plain Google Doc or Word document. Do not work on design yet.
3. At the top: your name, city and state, phone number, a personal email (your student email closes after graduation) and your portfolio link. Students under 18 may leave off the phone number and use a parent-approved email.
4. Build sections for Education, Skills, Experience or Projects, and relevant activities or awards.
5. Begin every bullet with an action verb: Designed, Animated, Produced, Collaborated, Developed, Illustrated.
6. Leave off a photo, your street address and anything fictional.
7. Keep it to one page. Margins of 0.5 to 0.75 inch are acceptable.
8. Save as a PDF.

Accessibility

Make the document readable by a screen reader: use real heading styles (Heading 1 and Heading 2 in Google Docs or Word, paragraph styles in InDesign), keep text contrast high, add alt text to every image or logo, and export a tagged PDF (InDesign: Create Tagged PDF; Word or Google Docs: keep document structure tags on when you save as PDF).

Submission

Upload the PDF. Your instructor returns written feedback within five days.
