• Analyze three problematic resumes.
  Directions: After getting into pairs, download Resume 1, Resume 2, and Resume 3. Find five problems with each resume and explain why they are problems. Then, send your answers to me in an e-mail entited "Bad Resume Analysis." Be sure to put your names in the e-mail.
• Get out your own resume for workshopping
• Schedule your resume conference if you have not already done so.
  

For Next Meeting

• Your resume is due by MIDNIGHT TONIGHT through e-mail. I will be up tonight sending replies that I've received them. If you don't get a reply, I didn't get your resume, and you need to re-send it. 
  
• There is NO CLASS Wednesday and Friday. Instead, you will have a 15 minute resume conference. Your resume conference will take place in CHAT, not in the classroom or in my office. If you miss your conference or are over five minutes lates, I will count you absent for one class period. I will post the times on the website.

Wednesday, September 24 - Friday, September 26

• Resume conferences for the rest of the week (see schedule). These take place in chat. Come prepared to discuss your resume in detail (you should have a copy of your resume at hand). Otherwise, there is NO CLASS Wednesday and Friday. If you miss your conference or are over five minutes lates, I will count you absent for one class period. I will post the times on the website.

For Next Meeting

• FINAL DRAFT of both the cover letter and resume are due by classtime Monday, by e-mail. You may also bring a hard copy to class, although it is not required.
