Tuesday, B day & Wednesday, A day 

           FreeWrites/Warm-Up
       Read article: Which Type of Resume is Right for You?
        Work with your partner; one paper per pairing. Split the duties— one reader, one writer.
        Respond to these statements in complete sentences:

• List and explain the pros and cons of each type of resume.
• In the section about “Essential Parts of Any Resume”, the writer states 3 of the five key elements we learned about last class. Which two were not mentioned in this section? 
• What other (three)  things does the article state should be in your  resume? 
• Which of these statements best describes office work as an accomplishment rather than a daily task?
  a) Filed paperwork in alphabetical order
  b) Organized and prioritized documents to facilitate access and storage.
  c) Established a filing system that prioritized documents and facilitated record keeping. 

         Activities:
​     Students, you will work on the following today:

1. Continue with the Skills Worksheet to step 4. Follow the tutorial, CIS Skills Activity Instructions found here or down below in Resources.
2. Complete step 5 and create a document called: PDx_FullName_CISSkillsSummary.
   Follow the instructions in the tutorial to find the skills professionals in your chosen occupation say are necessary as well as finding your skills.  You will be making a Venn diagram or table showing your skills, the skills for the job and identify the subset of skills you have for the occupation/job you have chosen. This set will be the basis for your "Skills" section of the resume.
   Your document will have 3 things – a screen shot of your skills, a copy/paste of the skills for the job and your diagram or table. 
3. UP NEXT....  Writing in business language for the resume.
