Assignment – Making a resume using myBlueprint:

Last year in CLE 9 you started to develop a resume using the resume tool in myBlueprint. In today's
assignment, you will adapt your resume to include any of the skills, experiences or knowledge you
have gained over the past year. Don't worry if you never had a chance to start your resume last year,
you can start one today!

You may feel as though you still don't have a lot of experience to put on a resume, but you probably
have more than you think! Try to remember any of the paid or unpaid work or volunteer experience
you have, any transferable skills you have gained through activities inside or outside of school, or any
new or interesting classes you have taken. This is a good opportunity though to see where you may
want to gain more experience in the next couple of years to round out your resume sections before you
graduate!

Instructions:

1. Log into your myBlueprint account with your username and password.
2. On the left-hand toolbar, choose "Resumes" under the "Work" heading if you are making a new
resume. Then click “+ Add Resume” on the top right corner of your screen and give your resume a title
such as "Your Name Grade 10".

3. If you are just adapting your resume from last year, you will find it under "Home" then "Portfolios"

4. If you are making a resume from scratch, take the time to work through the resume sections to the
best of your ability. Remember to highlight your best skills and experiences and use powerful verbs
such as "organized" and "coordinated" instead of passive verbs such as "has" or "did".

5. If you are just adapting your resume from last year, add any new experiences, skills, classes you've
taken and knowledge you've gained!

6. Experiment with the different features in myBlueprint such as layout and switching the order of your
sections until you find one that you prefer.

7. Continually preview your resume by clicking “Preview Resume” at the bottom right hand side of
your screen.

8. When your resume is finished, from the Preview Resume screen, click “Add to Portfolio” and
“Export” to add your resume to your Grade 10 portfolio and export it to a .pdf for submission.
