CMPS/CMPE 200 -- Fall 2016

Homework 3
Due: 11am, October 25, 2016.

Objective:

Prepare a resume (or a cv).

Description:

Resumes are written usually for targeting a specific "job" or audience. This is a brief (usually 1 page, and not more than 2 pages) overview that gives the reader a sense of what you are looking for, how they can contact you if they're interested in you, and of course a summary/highlight of your relevant skills.

Curriculum Vitae (CV) is Latin for "course of life" and is basically a compilation of all your experiences, achievements, publications, services rendered, etc. As such, they tend to be much longer than a resume. It's not unusual to see a CV in tens of pages. These are usually used in academia, although they could be used in place of resumes in certain countries.

For this assignment, you can target your resume for your dream job. For those of you planning to pursue a career in academia, this would also be a good time to start your CV.

If you are an MS CS student, please look at projects.soe.ucsc.edu/ for a list of projects (jobs) that you can apply to. Even if you're not an MS CS student, you might want to check out the page also. Note that the list of projects is being updated continuously. If you have a project that you'd like to do and is not currently on the list of projects, please contact pang at ucsc.edu. If you don't see any projects that you like, and have no idea what projects that you might want to work on, you can still complete this homework as if targeting your resume for your dream job.

Finally, for those who are interested in working on one of these projects, please login with your cruzid (there's a tiny "Log in" button on the bottom right). Once there, click on the project that interests you and there's an option to indicate the membership type. Select "interested".

Your resume should be either a pdf or doc file.

Submission:

Put your resume (pdf or doc) in a folder. Name this folder hwk3. Zip up the folder.
Move your hwk3.zip file to the campus unix server. The name of the machine is unix.ic.ucsc.edu. You can do this with a variety of tools like ssh, filezilla, etc.
Login to unix.ic.ucsc.edu and submit your hwk3.zip file using the following command:
```
submit cmps200-ap.f16 hwk3 hwk3.zip
```
