Activity 1- Creating a curriculum vitae

Proceed to the Careers online site and look at layouts of resumes and try the resume generator activity to build your resume (curriculum vitae) writing.  Don't forget to save your resume to a floppy disk so you can update it any time you need.  Bookmark this page so that you can return safely and continue.

If you do not have access to the internet, start a new word processing document to create your CV.  As mentioned earlier the following headings are usually included:

Employment Experience: (mose recent first)

Educational Background:

Additional sections may include:

special skills/achievements
