Value: 10% of course grade

Topic: In this assignment you will be practice applying for a real situation (job, graduate school,

Specifics1

Part I: Resume
Create a resume to apply for your hypothetical situation. Your resume may be chronological or functional
depending on your situation and audience. The design of your resume should showcase your personality
and chosen field, although any choices you make should not distract from the content of your resume.
Your resume should include the following features:
• A header with your name and contact information
• Career objective/summary
• Educational background
• Work experience
• Relevant skills
• Awards, achievements, and relevant activities
• References

Part II: Bio


Create a multimodal bio that emphasizes the major points from your resume and is also formatted for
your specific audience and situation. It could be something such as a LinkedIn profile, a video, an audio
bio, etc. No matter your choice of medium and mode, your bio should contain the following information:
• A hook that grabs the attention of your audience and sets you apart from other applicants
• Relevant information about your education and work
• Information regarding your three to five major achievements and accomplishments
• Personal information if appropriate
• Contact information

Reflection: With all major writing assignments, you will be required to write a 500-word memo
reflection that explains the choices you made when approaching this assignment. As such, it is
important to answer all of the questions below with specific references to your assignment and a
detailed explanation for each question:

1. What is was your chosen situation? What research did you do to adapt your documents for
your chosen audience and rhetorical situation?
2. Why did you choose your specific achievements to highlight?
3. What medium and design choices did you make for both documents and why do you think
those are appropriate for your audience?
4. Moving forward how do you plan to use the documents you made over this semester for
your future academic/professional goals?
You will also need to address Project 3’s SLOs within your memo. The SLOs you have made
progress towards for this assignment are:
