FINAL WEB RESUME PROJECT

You will build a website that you can show employers when you are job hunting. Your resume can have the website written on it, so that employers can look at the internet to learn more about you.  This is a good project if you are looking for a job or soon will be. It is also a good project if you want to start building a portfolio now that you can have ready when you graduate to show employers.

You need to create the following pages:

• Homepage:
  • A link to your business and personal pages.
  • A link to your email.
  • Your homepage cannot be the size of more than one screen (so a user wont have to scroll on that page).
  • Your home page must be the home page for your site, not just a link to final added to your webcard. (To move your webcard to become a link to your website, see here)
  • A clickable picture
  • A background which is light enough to read the words on the page
  • A table

• Two personal pages:
  • Some pictures, including at least one thumbnail with a smaller picture linking to a bigger picture. The smaller picture must be a different file from the bigger picture. The smaller picture must actually be a small sized picture file, not one that is compressed.
  • The two pages need to be created on panther. They can link to your webcard or other class exercises, but those pages will not count as your new final personal pages.
  • A background which is light enough to read the words on the page
    
• Your business page:
  •  A link to your resume, to a project, and to anything else you like.
    
• Your project page:
  • At least one page created with powerpoint and contain at least 1 web link, slide transition, animation and master slide. Make a link to this powerpoint as a powerpoint (ppt or pptx). Click here for a movie on making this presentation.
  • At least one page created with Word or Excel that includes a picture.  The Word or Excel document must be converted to html using microsoft office's save as html feature. On your website, place two links: one to the document as an office document (.doc or .docx) and another as an html converted file. When a person looks at your site and clicks on the link to the document as html, no microsoft application should open; instead it should show right in the browser. Click here for instructions.
    
• Your resume must contain:
  • The title <your name > resume
  • At least 2 links to web sites related to your resume
  • Link to your e-mail
  • A "top of page" button at the bottom of the page
  • A link to each section of your resume (so you would have the words education, employment and skills across the top of the page, and the user could click on a word to go straight to that section).
  • Sample Resume
    

Guidelines:

• Every page must be titled differently from the name of the file.
• You cannot have two pictures with sizes of more than 150KB on the same page. If you have a picture that is more than 150KB, seeing the picture has to be the main point of the page. If you have large filesize pictures on your page, you can instead create thumbnails that the person can click on.
  
• No bmp format pictures are allowed.
  
• Also, the background must not make the words too hard to read on any page, even when a link has been clicked and the word color changed. (You can use irfanview to lighten your pictures.)
