A representative from the State of TN will be at LA this week to talk specifics in regards to the TN Promise program to ensure that all knows about the requirements. Also, the Upper Cumberland College Fair will be hosted at the TN Tech Hyder Burkes Pavilion. So, in light of all of the activities going on this week, you will have 2 weeks for the assignment. This week, we will begin focusing on building your resume. There is a tool on collegefortn.org that is very helpful when developing your resume. This tool also allows the resume to be converted to a Microsoft Word document when resume building is complete!
