General Response to Resumes
General Response to Kinsey’s Resume
Overall, your resume is extremely impressive. I enjoyed how you expanded the work section to include your job responsibilities. I would suggest briefly describing your role in the activities you list as well. I am only vaguely aware of the group Best Buddies, so a broad definition might help me understand the nature of the group more clearly. I would also list the amount of times you appeared on the Dean’s List and President’s List. This gives a more accurate representation of you as a student. As far as the format, I would bold all of the work experience you have acquired over the years. It allows employers to scan your resume and retract the most important information. Otherwise, I think it gets lost amongst the long paragraph that follows it. Just remember to bold your name and increase its size relative to the body of your resume! You’re hired!

Your use of bullets allows me to flow through your resume with no effort. However, I would propose condensing your profile into one sentence that concentrates on the job you are seeking. As an employer, I would most likely skip over your objective since it is so long. While the skills you have required are part of your education, I suggest creating a new section to house these proficiencies. Allowing them to stand alone highlights them even more. The information contained is particularly notable and definitely differentiates you from the masses. With a little reworking, the format has the potential to complement your hard work and expose all of your strengths.
General Response to Robin’s Resume
Your objective sentence is short and focused which allows me to understand exactly what you are seeking. However, I would suggest shortening it even more by saying: To obtain a Special Education job that helps special needs children and creates awareness for those children. You have a wealth of experience, but I think this section is rather lengthy. A bulleted list would help an employer identify your credentials more easily. If you were a part of the Dean’s List for several semesters, I would include that as well. It can’t hurt to display how many times you appeared on the list, if it were more then once!
