Objective:  I can know the importance of an effective resume and cover letter, so I will take my time to develop one that I can confidently utilize and add to as my training and career progresses throughout the year(s).
Agenda:

• Entry Task:  Share with a neighbor--do you have a resume?  Where did you create it? Is it up-to-date? 3-5 student responses expected.
  
• Discuss:  What is a resume?  What is a cover letter?  What are their purposes? When/where do you use them?
  
• In the groups of 3-5 assigned to you, review the cover letters and resumes given to you.  
  
  • Determine which you will consider and which you will trash
    
  • Remember, employers/colleges take seconds to determine whether or not they want to read or learn more about you.
    
  • You have 5 min. to select one cover letter and one resume you think are worth learning more about the potential employee or student.
    
• In your group, be prepared to share out who you selected with one solid line of reasoning.
  
• Review the rubrics for resume and cover letter
  
• Exit Task:  If you already have one or the other, make sure you either bring a copy or attach it to google
