References & Résumé Help

As the economy waxes and wanes, I am being asked to provide job or academic references and/or help review résumés. Due to a few unpleasant experiences, I find I need to now create a policy for providing references and résumé help.

References

1. You must have successfully (C or higher) completed at least one of my courses.
   • If you are a classroom (traditional, in class) student, your in class decorum must be professional and show both creative and critical thinking.
   • If you are an online student, your online performance must be such that you left a good impression on both me and the rest of the class by providing ample (correct, meaningful, useful, creative) assistance in the discussion forums.
2. What I need from you:
   • A written request, including all pertinent information
   • A current résumé
   • A paragraph or two on your future. If this is a professional reference, what you want to achieve in this new position. If this is an academic reference, your proposed major, future plans, and so forth.
   • All available contact information for both you and the reference recipient.
   • How the information should be transmitted (electronically or paper/regular mail)

Résumés

I will only review résumés during ISYS 2190 Internet Programming Case Study as part of the course requirements. Lakeland's Career Services provides excellent cover letter, résumé, and interviewing workshops.
