TECM 4190: Technical Editing

Project Duration

Late October – Early November 2024

Overview

For this project I was tasked with editing a resume and cover letter, in addition to writing an editorial email and style sheet for both the resume and cover letter.

Process

I used Microsoft’s webpage to search for ATS-friendly resume and cover letter templates. Once I found a template for each, I heavily edited the resume, including the headings and individual sections. I also revised parts of the resume while keeping the original author’s intent and meaning.

Once I completed the resume, I then revised the entire cover letter. Afterwards, I wrote up a style sheet according to my edits and an editorial email to explain to the original author why the edits were necessary and helpful.

Result

I received top marks on the project.
