CEP 818: How Do I Love Thee? Module 6

The model I chose is a resume.
This represents my topic because one step toward living an "independent life" is obtaining a job to support oneself financially. To teach my students about career preparation, we learn about the parts of an effective resume. I use this as a model to teach so that the students have a basic framework to work off of. In addition, we examine and critique existing resumes to learn from their good and bad points. This model assists the students with each component that they must compile for their resume. It allows them to zoom in on each individual area to ultimately create a completed resume in the end.










To change this model, there are many variations of resumes that one can model theirs off of. (Types of resumes) The most commonly known types are chronological, functional, combination, and targeted.




Aside from regular 2D resume models (on paper), many resumes are created and hosted on the web in an online portfolio.





















Aside from a webpage portfolio, some job seeking individuals use a more 3D resume by creating a resume/portfolio video:



This new model is beneficial because it provides a visual and makes the applicant seem more personable. This sample shows students the importance of first impressions. Typically, a first physical/visual impression is made during the introduction of an interview; however, a video resume/portfolio provides this opportunity before the interview.
