While resumes are great, you have a couple of tools at your disposal to help stretch your reach. The first one is the ability to turn your resume into a hyper-document and leverage platforms such as LinkedIn to help provide prospective employers with even more information about your skills. To that end, include a clearly marked link on your resume to your LinkedIn portfolio that demonstrates some of the projects in which you have worked on in your various classes. The idea is that you are to develop a portfolio to help show off your skills and accomplishments:
With your resume complete, utilize Career Services tool, Quinncia to evaluate and improve the quality of your resume. Take a screen shot of the results of your analysis which should be similar to the screen shot below and paste on at the bottom of your resume.
Mock Interview: With your resume perfected, now it is time to prepare for your interview. Log back into Quinncia and complete at least one Mock Interview. Take a screen shot of the Mock Interview feedback provided by Quinncia and paste that below the resume feedback on your resume.

Self-Reflection: Research suggests that self-reflection leads to improved learning (Lew and Schmidt, 2011). In the Comments section of the assignment in Canvas, please respond to each prompt below by copying the questions below and supplying your answers underneath:
After conducting the market analysis for CompTIA Security+ positions within your chosen geographic location, what did you learn about the demand for this certification and the types of roles available? How has this analysis influenced your perception of the job market and your own career planning?
Considering the feedback received from Career Services on your resume and cover letter, along with the insights gained from the Quinncia analysis, what key strengths and areas for improvement have you identified in your application materials? How do these findings impact your readiness for applying to jobs?
Reflect on your performance during the mock interview process. What competencies do you feel you demonstrated effectively, and what areas do you think require further improvement? How will you address these areas to enhance your interview skills for actual job opportunities?
Approximately how long did you spend on this project in hours and minutes?
Spelling & Grammar Check: Take advantage of the tools you have at your disposal to further refine your Market Analysis, Cover Letter, and/or Resume. Utilize the Spelling & Grammar tool within Word and append each document with the results to help ensure that you are turning in documents worthy of well-educated individuals.
