General Response to Resumes

Response to Stephen DuBose’s Resume
I thought that this was very useful resume for an employer to use. The skills listed are all very relevant to real estate because many of them relate to interaction with people. If I were in a position of hiring you, I would view the well-written objective as a great start to this resume.

Response to Kristine Erwin’s Resume
I thought that Kristine’s resume was very impressive. If I were hiring her for a position in Graphic Communications, I would have no doubt that she is very qualified in both academics and experience. A major problem that I see with your resume is the misspelling of “company.” Resumes need to be error free and seeing that error threw up a big red flag for me. Other than that, I thought this was a very impressive resume.

Reaction to Jason Patterson’s Resume
My first reaction to your opening paragraph was that you are not applying for your full potential. By saying, “to prove my worthiness of advancement,” I feel that you are not confident enough in yourself that you can do the job now. A company is not going to want to hire you if they feel that all your B.S. in Civil Engineering has qualified you for is to be a proof reader. They know that you aren’t ready to be a project manager yet, but have more confidence that you can jump right in with the degree that you’ve earned. You are qualified. Let them know it.
