Your team is tasked with the job of creating a “Team Resume.†This team resume needs to reflect the most predominant talents, skills, and experiences your team has to offer. Each team will be required to come to the front of the room and present the team resume to the rest of the class. Use Microsoft Word to create your team resume. Your team resume should include, but is not limited to, the following:

- Team contact information
- Names of each of your team members
- Hometown, State, and/or high schools attended
- Previous work experiences
- Special skills and/or talents of team members (These can be technical or non-technical in nature)

- Save the file with the name … “team_##.doc”
As you complete your resume, you can IM them to me at the podium so they can be shown up front while you present your team to the class.
