For this
assignment, you will submit the first document to be included in your
Professional Portfolio: Your resume (if you are seeking employment
immediately upon graduation) or your curriculum vitae (if you are
applying to graduate school). At the end of the document, you should
include a list of at least three references to whom you intend to send a
letter requesting a reference/recommendation, you can also submit your
transcripts, but these documents are optional. Resume/Vitae Update
your resume (if you are seeking employment immediately upon graduation)
or your curriculum vitae (if you plan to apply to graduate school). Try
to tailor it to your specific goal. In other words, keep the resume
focused on how your skills apply to the work force and keep the
curriculum vitae focused on your academic goals. You must also identify
three potential references to whom you intend to send a letter
requesting a reference/recommendation, with their contact information
provided (name, address, e-mail address, and/or telephone number). These
can be current or former professors, employers, supervisors, etc. For
each reference, specify how that person is familiar with your academic
or job performance. A sample Reference List is available at:

writing and organizing resumes, and other aspects of a career search or
graduate school admission, search the EBSCO database for both résumé and
the curriculum vitae guidelines. What is the distinction between the
resume and the CV? Go to the EBSCO database and search for: “Resume or
vita? What’s the difference?” You may want to visit the Psi Chi
International Honor Society in Psychology Website’s page, “The
Curriculum Vita: A Student’s Guide to Preparation” at:

required sections of the vitae and provides an image of a sample vitae

CV” paragraph to view the sample). Optional: Transcript/s In addition
to your resume/vitae, you may also choose to submit copies of all of
your college transcripts with a job or graduate school application. The
submission of transcripts is optional for this assignment. Please note
that you should always request official transcripts at least several
weeks in advance of any application due dates, as it may take some time
for the institutions to process your request and mail them to you. For
this assignment, you may submit unofficial copies for the purpose of
this assignment if you are unable to obtain official versions in time.
