New tasks:

Challenge #11:  Create a one page resume and put in your google shared folder.  This is a TRADITIONAL resume.  Here are some tips.  Here is an example.  I will spend a lot of time on this assignment.  We will make infographic resumes shortly.

Some things to think about:

• Use Evernote to make notes and brainstorm about the resume.
• List EVERYTHING you could possibly include.  Only include stuff you did in middle school if it is truly amazing (like winning a National Science Fair or something).
• Follow the format, follow the format, follow the format.
• Use active verbs.  Quantify everything:
• Created and published movie review podcast that reached 75 listeners per day
