Resume and Career Plan
For this assignment, you will be submitting two separate documents—a resume and a career plan. You may submit a resume and a career plan based on your own personal information or you may submit them based on fictional information, thus keeping your personal information private. Either is an acceptable choice and you will not be graded based on whether you choose to submit actual or fictional information. The purpose of this assignment is to give you experience developing both a resume and a career plan. If you choose to use fictional information, you can then use what you’ve learned in this assignment to help you develop your own personal resume and career plan. If your time permits, you can even develop your real resume and career plan and the fictional ones for the assignment simultaneously. If you have any questions or concerns about this assignment, please contact your instructor as early in the course as possible so they can be addressed.
Following are the specific requirements for each component of this assignment:
Resume Plan
Find a posting for a job that currently interests you (Social work or another human services path) near Los Angeles and for which you are qualified. Using a fictional information, create a resume tailored to this job description. If you are creating this resume for a fictional person, you can feel free to add skills, experiences, or qualifications that you do not possess, in addition to creating fictional contact information, a fictional educational background, etc.
Choose whatever type of resume seems most appropriate. Your resume should include the following elements:
Contact information
Qualifications
Education
Experience/History
Career Plan
Attached is the career plan template
Using the Career Plan Template, develop a career plan either for yourself or for a fictional person. The information in the career plan should be as specific as possible, even if you are developing it for a fictional person. You should fill out every section of the Career Plan Template.
