PART ONE

1. Go to the website for your group.

Group A: Read "Why Are Résumés Rejected?", "General Résumés Writing Tips", and "How to
Write a Functional Résumé."

Group B: Read "General Tips/Advice," "Body Language," and "Interview Problems."

(Remember: Just look at the site to get information for this exercise; do not give personal
information or credit card information anywhere in the website.)

2. Skim the articles and write six pieces of advice you think are especially useful. Write
sentences using should, should not, ought to, ought not to, had better, and had better not.

Examples:
Be careful. You shouldn’t rush into your next job. You should take some time and think
about your future.
Your résumé is important. You ought to put your work experience at the top of your
résumé. This makes a good impression.
