proposals and resumes. It is a good practice to start creating letters so that they will not have a
hard time in creating a letter when it is needed. Discuss briefly the parts of a letter.

TEACHING TIPS: 
Tell your students that now that they have a list of potential career opportunities, the next thing to
do is to apply to those companies. Of course, you don’t just apply to companies unprepared. Tell
them that they have to prepare their resume. And today, they will learn how to make a resume.
Have them prepare their digital copy of resume picture (2x2 ID picture wearing business attire)
beforehand.

You can also use your own picture or use Taylor Johnson.jpg located in the downloadable
materials folder.

LECTURE: 
When applying for jobs, the first thing that the employer would look for is your resume or
curriculum vitae (CV). The primary differences between a resume and a CV are, its length, what is
included and what it is intended for. Basically, a resume is a one or two page summary of your
skills, work experience and education. On the other hand, a CV is much longer and more detailed
compared to a resume.

Below is an example of a resume:

INDENTING TEXTS AND EDITING MARGINS

With Google Docs, you are allowed to modify the location of your text. The ruler at the top of your
document allows you to control where your text appears. From the ruler you can adjust margins,
indents, and tabs.

PRINT
To increase and decrease indents, click on the Increase indent or Decrease indent button found in
the toolbar or use the shortcut keys Ctrl+] for Increase indent and Ctrl+[ for Decrease indent.

To increase and decrease indent using the left and right margin arrow, highlight the text that you
want to adjust then click and hold on the blue arrows found on the left and right along the ruler
below the toolbar. Drag the arrow across the ruler to adjust the indention. The arrow located on
the left is for the left indent and the arrow on the right is for the right indent.

You will see a rectangle above the left margin arrow, this is the first line indent. Meaning when you
move this, only the first line of the paragraph where your insertion point is will be indented and
not the whole paragraph or you can use the Tab shortcut key in your keyboard.

The important thing to consider when indenting a paragraph is if the reader could recognize
where the paragraphs begin and end. Remember that the purpose of paragraphs is to break up the
text into manageable chunks for the reader, to add visual interest to the page, and to allow people
to skim for the information they want. It will indicate to your reader which pieces of information
go together and help them understand your thinking. If you were given this example:

It is hard to recognize that you have 4 paragraphs here. You can do either of two things: you can
indent every first line of each paragraph like this:

PRINT
Or create spaced between paragraphs without having to indent the first line of each paragraph.
Either way, you made it clear to the reader where the start and the end of the paragraphs are.

You can also edit margins through the Page setup to have a more detailed adjustment. To do this,
go to File ► Page setup then input the new size for the margin then press Ok.

PRINT
Here are some guidelines in setting the page setup:

Orientation: Simply put, a page displayed in portrait mode is taller than it is wide. Conversely, a
page displayed in landscape mode is wider than it is tall. The default setting is portrait mode, since
typed pages are generally printed lengthwise. But if you need to print crosswise or you need a
wider space per page without thinking about the height of the page, then switch to landscape.

Paper size: The paper size is dependent on what size you want to print your document on. The
default size is Letter.(8.5”x11”)

Page color: The page color is solely dependent on your preference. The default page color is white.

Margins: Additional to what was mentioned, you can increase the margins on your document if
you want lesser contents to be seen so that your readers can focus more on the content. You can
decrease the margins if you want more content to be seen by your readers. The default margins
for the top, left, right and bottom is 1 inch.

FORMATTING PICTURES

PAGE NUMBER, HEADER AND FOOTER

Page numbers are used to count the number of pages in your document. Header and footer are
located on the top and bottom of the document and are constant throughout the pages of the

page. To insert a header, click on Insert ► Header and to insert a footer, click on Insert ► Footer.
