Information for Implementation: Resumes

Purpose

Students learn how to create a high-quality resume.

Steps for Activity Implementation for Programs and Courses

1. Students and Administrators watch the videos and review the provided resources. This can be done individually or in small groups.

2. Students apply the information to their own resumes. 3. Students use the rubric to self-assess their resume and make edits as needed, then turn their resume to their Administrator for review.

4. Administrators use the rubric to review the student’s resume and write down both positive and constructive feedback. Administrators meet individually with students to review the feedback and help the student create a high-quality resume. Repeat this process as needed.

5. When completed, students check off the item on their personal CDEV Map. When all of the components on the CDEV Map are complete, students submit their artifact through the Impact in GivePulse for their Administrator to verify. The artifact for this activity is the student’s final resume.

Optional Activity

  1. After reviewing the resume information and creating a draft, students meet together to provide feedback to each other. If their current roles are similar, students can work together to write strong bullet points.

Steps for Activity Implementation for Individuals

1. Students watch the videos and review the provided resources.

2. Students apply the information to their own resume.

3. Students use the rubric to self-assess their resume and make edits as needed.

4. Students meet with a professional in their intended career field, or with a Career Mentor at WSU’s Career Station, to have their resume reviewed. The reviewer should use the CDEV resume resources and/or rubric to provide both positive and constructive feedback. Students implement the feedback and seek additional feedback as needed in order to create a high-quality resume.

5. When completed, students check off the item on their CDEV Map. When all of the components on the CDEV Map are complete, students submit their artifact through the Impact in GivePulse. The artifact for this activity is the student’s final resume.
