PROJECT STEPS

1. You are a business consultant for the Patel Sanders Group, a management consulting firm in New York City, and are preparing a resume for a new position in the company. You created the resume using a template and need to customize elements of the document and its formatting. Change the left and right margins to 0.75" to fit the entire resume on one page.

2. Create custom theme colors and fonts as follows to apply to this resume and other resumes you might create:

a. Create a customized set of theme colors named Cardoso that uses Orange, Accent 1, Darker 25% (5th column, 5th row in the Theme Colors palette) as the Hyperlink color.

b. Create a customized set of theme fonts named Resume that uses Calibri Light as the heading font and Candara as the body font.

3. Apply the Word 2010 style set to use a style set without text in all capitals.

4. On page 1, delete the Company content control displaying the text "Patel Sanders" to remove the repetitious information.

5. Create a new paragraph style as follows to separate date paragraphs from other text:

a. Create a paragraph style named Dates based on the paragraph containing the text "10/2027 to present".

b. Change the Spacing Before paragraph setting of the Dates style to 0 point.

c. Change the Spacing After paragraph setting of the Dates style to 6 point.

d. Change the font size of the Dates style to 10 point.

e. Use bold formatting for the Dates style.

6. Insert a line break before the word "Made" in the sentence "Made key contributions...million in revenue." in the "Experience" section to separate the two experience descriptions.

7. Apply the Dates style to the paragraph "5/2025 to 10/2027" in the "MKL Consulting, Hoboken, New Jersey" section to use consistent formatting for date paragraphs.

8. Modify the Heading 2 style to use the text color Orange, Accent 1, Darker 50% (5th column, 6th row in the Theme Colors palette) to add contrast throughout the resume.

9. Insert a bulleted list containing your skills as follows:

a. Save the bulleted list in the file Support_WD365_5A_Skills.docx as a Quick Part using Skills as the name of the Quick Part.

b. Select the paragraph "[insert skills here]", then insert the Skills Quick Part to add the bulleted list to the resume. (Hint: Select the text and the paragraph mark.)

10. Insert a hyperlink as follows to supply missing information:

a. Replace the text "Email" with the text cardoso@psg.cengage.com.

b. Format the text "cardoso@psg.cengage.com" as a hyperlink that links to the cardoso@psg.cengage.com email address.

c. Add the ScreenTip Ana Cardoso email address to the hyperlink.

11. Move the last row in the table ("Initiated client program...boost profitability.") so that it appears before the "References" heading to provide an example of leadership.

12. Insert a table to add rows containing keywords for automated resume scanners:

a. Copy the table in the file Support_WD365_5A_Keywords.docx.

b. Paste the table in the blank paragraph at the end of the document using the Keep Source Formatting option.

13. Type Project management, consulting in the Keywords content control to list the keywords for your resume.

14. Apply a Center vertical alignment to balance the resume content on the page.
