The goal of this assignment is to use MS Word 2007 to create and format a document. The resulting document should be appropriate for any current and future applications and interviews.

To Do

Use MS Word to create your résumé. Your résumé should include identification information, (such as your name, address, and telephone number), education, work experience, honors, and activities. Remember that a résumé should be a one-page document.

You must do all of the following:

1. Set the margins to 1.5 inches on the top, 0.75 inches on the bottom, 0.75 inches on the left, and 0.75 inches on the right side.
2. Center your name at the top of the résumé.
   • Use some noticeably different and distinctive font type for your name with a size of at lest 14pt (i.e. it has to be clear to the unaided eye that the font is different, not just larger or bolder.).
3. Clear all the default tabs and insert two Tabs, one three-fourths of an inch (0.75 inches) from the left margin and the other three inches (3 .0 inches) from the left margin.
4. Directly below your name list your contact information using Tab to control the horizontal placement of text. Like the following:

         home address                        school address

         123 Second Street                   350 Spelman Lane, SW

5. The résumé should have the following sections: objective, work experience, education, honors, activities
