To
help make your resume stand out from other job applicants, you decide to create
a presentation from your resume information. In addition to the usual personal
information included in a resume, such as education and job experience, you
also want to include information about intended job field. For example, you
might want to find out about future opportunities or job requirements in your
field. You'll browse the World Wide Web to learn more about your field and
about creating an effective resume. Then you'll create a presentation with your
personal information as well as specific information about your field.
Explore the links to career resources, such as jobfind
or Monster
to find more information about jobs in your field of interest. Or, you can use a search engine, such as Yahoo
, AltaVista
, or Go.com
, to search for the information you
need using key terms such as "Careers" or "Resume."
Print the pages about any employment opportunities,
resumes, or other information that may be relevant to your presentation, and then close your Web browser.
Create a new presentation with an appropriate design
template.
Create an interesting title slide, such as "Your Next Programmer" or "The Editor You've Been Looking For," using your name as the subtitle. Animate the text appropriately by opening the Custom Animation dialog
box.
Include at least four additional slides. Slide topics might be "Objective," "Contact Information," "Education," "Work Experience," or "Skills."
Include at least one object from any category of the
AutoShapes, adding text within that shape.
Include clip art or other graphic images on at least
two slides.
Create a table with information for your resume. For
example, you could use a table to present data you located about your field or
organize your work experience.
Spell check your presentation, and then check for any style problems.
Save the presentation as My Resume on your PowerPoint Internet Assignments disk.
Print your presentation slides, with three or four
slides per page, making sure the slides are legible in black and white if you
have a monochrome printer. Close the file.
