Number 5: Opening district e-mail and click on the Compose New Message icon
E-mail is a great way to send a digital copy of your resume to an employer who does not live near you. It is also a great way to get your resume to your home computer so that you will have it to edit for real job applications! It won’t be long before you can enter the job market and need a resume. When that time comes, you can just open this resume, update the information, and you’re ready to go!
EXAMPLE:
Open the student e-mail system and log in!
a) Open Internet Explorer and browse to www.davis.k12.ut.us b) Enter your student number and PIN
c) Click on your e-mail address in the top corner of the grades screen d) Enter your login name and PIN
Are you logged into your e-mail?
GOOD JOB! Let’s move on.
Make sure the pop-up blocker is off and try again.
e) Click on the Compose Mail icon to open a new mail document
Do you have a new mail open?
WAY TO GO! Move on to the next step!
Number 6: In the new e-mail, fill in the TO: and SUBJECT: fields to send an
attachment to your home computer and instructor.
It is VERY important to make sure e-mail addresses are correct or the mail won’t make it to the intended person. The TO: field is where we type e-mail addresses. If we are sending the mail to more than one person, separate the addresses with a comma. The SUBJECT: line should help the recipient know what the e-mail contains.
EXAMPLE:
Complete the TO: and SUBJECT: fields as follows:
a) In the TO: field, type your e-mail address and the instructor’s e-mail address separated by a comma.
Instructor’s e-mail: [email protected] b) In the SUBJECT: field, type: Equity Resume
Check the e-mail addresses carefully. Does your screen look like this?
WHEW! You’re almost there. Just a couple more steps!
Number 7: Click on the Attach button in the e-mail document.
In order to keep the formatting of the resume, it must be sent in its original Word format. This means that we must attach the word document to the e-mail instead of just copying and pasting to an email. EXAMPLE:
a) Click on the Attach button at the top of the new mail document.
Did the Choose File window pop up?
GREAT! Move on to the next step!
Number 8: In the Open dialogue box, navigate to the resume document where it
was previously saved on the student drive.
In order to attach a document to an e-mail, you must first find the file on your computer. You should always remember where you save documents on your computer.
EXAMPLE:
Browse to and select the Resume document from the student drive: a) In the Look In field, select the student drive (H:)
b) Click on the keyboarding folder where you saved your resume c) In the main window, locate the Equity Resume
d) Click to select it
Does Equity Resume appear in the File Name field?
YOU’RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK! Move on to the next objective. Repeat the above steps again.
If Equity Resume appears in the File Name field in the Upload File dialogue box: a) Click on Open
b) Look at the area under the SUBJECT: field
Do you see a paper clip and the file name Equity Resume.docx?
YAY! You have successfully attached the document to the e-mail.
Number 9: Verify the resume is attached by looking for the paperclip and file
name under the SUBJECT: field and then click send
You’re finally there! The last step in this assignment is to send the mail. Because you have both your e-mail address and your instructor’s e-e-mail address in the TO: field, the attachment will go to both
addresses. You will be able to download a copy of the resume on your home computer, and your instructor will be able to download or view the digital resume for your grade.
EXAMPLE:
Send the e-mail with attachment to home for download and to instructor for grading.
A) Click on the Send button to the right of the TO: and SUBJECT: fields. Did a pop up appear telling you that your mail had been sent?
CONGRATULATIONS! You have successfully completed the entire assignment! Please turn in your printed resume to the basket.
