FORUM 11

Searching for jobs can be stressful and even anxiety inducing. If you've experienced stress in looking for work, know that you are not alone. Work-related stress is one of the most common problems faced in modern life.

For the forum this week, describe your job search process so far. Have you begun searching for jobs yet? Are you already working full or part-time? Do you have a story to share about your search process or would you benefit from expressing some of your frustrations or anxieties about the process? Your initial post should be a paragraph or more in length. Then, comment on at least two (2) of your classmates’ posts to receive full credit for this forum.


RESUME DRAFT

The Resume Draft assignment allows you to submit a draft of your Resume so that you can receive feedback before the final submission as part of Digital Portfolio.

Before any major written or creative assignment, turning in a draft of your work allows you to receive feedback from your Instructor and your peers. The Resume Draft assignment gives you the opportunity to flesh out your ideas and receive feedback in advance of the final deadline when you submit your Resume as part of your Digital Portfolios.

Begin by watching the assignment explainer video in D2L. Overall, this assignment has three (3) components: 1) Content, 2) Organization, and 3) Aesthetic Appeal. For Content, you need to at minimum include sections for Education, Experience, and Contact Information. For Organization, you need to order your content in a coherent, attractive way that makes sense to your reader. Please ensure that you list items with the most recent ones first. For Aesthetic Appeal, you should attempt to give your Resume a sense of attractiveness and artistic symmetry to the best of your ability. Again, you should begin by watching the explainer video in D2L that will cover each of these components more in depth.

This assignment will be submitted in Desire2Learn (D2L) in a format similar to the weekly Discussion Forums.

NOTE: Comments are NOT required for this assignment, as the Resume Feedback assignment will give you the opportunity to give and receive feedback on your drafts.
