Microsoft Word Portfolio

Project #1

First of all, If your project is late, your grade drops a letter grade every day late

including weekends.

The objective of this assignment is to assess your understanding of the basic functions

involved when using Microsoft Word. Templa tes, typography, and graphic design are a few

of the elements of MS Word that the project incorporates. This project also reinforces the

use of the WWW for research.

Follow your directions closely! If you have any problems or need any help, please feel free

to contact me. Your portfolio will consis t of two parts, a one-page resume and a one-page

advertisement.

1. A Résumé

The résumé is to be a one-page document and will be judged on content as well as visual

appearance. You must use a resume template. S ee “How to Use Resume Templates"

in the following pages for step-by-step directions on how to access templates using Microsoft

Word.

Gather personal information about one of the following people: a present or former

president of the United States, a present or past politic al leader whose platform you

support or a famous historical figure whose lofty accomplishments you admire. Your

choice must be approved by your professor before beginning the assignment. You

will email me your choice by the end of Week Three.

Use the WWW to find information about this person's education, work experience, skills,

hobbies, current address and contact information. This information will be used to make up

the content of the résumé. Search engines such as “Google” would be a good place to

start.

Here are some guidelines for creating professional resumes:

1) Always include contact informa tion for the person. In this project you may have to use

your own address, since the person you are researching may be deceased.

2) Your objective should be a long, lengthy st atement that gives a det ailed description of

what job you intend to pursue. For example, a good objective may star t out by saying “To

obtain a position as an executive of a diverse, business-or iented corporation, to enhance

communication skills, promote leadership and teamwork within divisions, and to provide

consultation to accounting departments…etc.

3) Avoid use of pronouns such as my, his, etc. Remember, you are writing this resume as

if you were that person.

4) Put the most current dates first.

5) Statements and experiences should be long lengthy statements that ALWAYS BEGIN

WITH PAST TENSE ACTION VERBS.

6) Be consistent with formatting of dates, cities, states, and titles.

7) Always use correct grammar and punctuation.

8) Use correct formatting when entering data on the person’s education. Never include

educational data in which t he person did not graduate.

9) Always put the highest degrees first (Doctorate, Masters, Bachelor s, and Associates).

10) Use a consistent tense throughout your document.

See the sample resume in the following pages with markups that gives you some

suggestions on how to create a professional resume. Put your mouse pointer over the notes

icons for suggestions to complete your resume.

You will include a second page that contains the URL’s where you collected your data.

Any project that is submitted without re ferences will receive a zero. Any project

submitted in which a student has used “word for word” statements, which is

plagiarism, will receive a zero.

The first part of your portfolio will be one word document named

“firstinitial_lastname_resume.doc ”. This Word file will be a two page document with the first

page being your resume and the second page being your references.

2. Advertisement

opening a new business. It can be any business that is relevant to your interests. Your
