Context:
The students should have already completed:

• SWA3
• SWA4

Students will be moving into the final part of this sequence where they will have to draft a resume.

The students should have already read:

• ​Technical Communication Today: Chapter 5 - Starting Your Career

In Class:
Free Write

• List as many skills, jobs, or experience that you think would be relevant to put on a resume as you can. 

In Class Reading/ Group Work:​

• In pairs, look on the internet for resumes. This can be a quick google search, or you can visit a resume building website (although I don't recommend using one). Find one that your group thinks is interesting and email it to me.
• After all the students have emailed their examples of good resumes, open them up and compare them with the class.
• Write on the board the conventions of the resumes that are good and that they have in common.
• Discuss the conventions of a resume.

For Next Class:
Students should write in their journals:

• Write down everywhere you've worked, including the dates, locations, and duties.
• If you haven't had a job, consider some other things you've done like:
  • Volunteer
  • Education
  • Awards or Scholorships
