Practical Nursing students will attend Career Center on Wednesday (January 9) instead of Thursday this week.  We will try to complete some the following activities today.

WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certification:

What were your scores for the three WorkKeys assessments?  How do those scores compare to the profile for your desired career?  We will analyze and answer those questions in part by completing the WorkKeys Completion Assignment.  I have added a copy of that MS Word file to the folder I have created for you and shared with you on Google Drive.  You will need to open that file in Google Docs and complete all sections.  I will review with you where to find the information.  Upon completion of the assignment, you will print one copy for me after being sure to save a copy in the shared Google drive.

Resumes

We will review the Best Way to Write a Resume by Job Genius video at the top of the Resumes page – –  (http://nwtech.edu/alvacc/resumes/) –  of the Career Center website and provided below.

Each student will need to create a resume in an easy to read professional format.  You should include a heading at the top of the resume that includes full name, full address, phone number and email address.  Sections of your resume may include qualification summary, education, licensure, work experience, additional skills, professional memberships, community activities, honors and awards, and references.

I will put some sample resume formats in the shared Google drive for you to use if you wish.  Be sure to use formatting that allows the reader to easily distinguish between the different sections.  Proofread your final copy.  Sometimes it is easier to download a document and work in Microsoft Word and then re-upload to the Google Drive than utilize Google Docs.  You may choose whichever method is easiest for you.

Links to sample resumes are available on the Resumes page – –  (http://nwtech.edu/alvacc/resumes/) –  of the Career Center website.
