General Response to Resumes

Response to Stephen's Resume:

I think Stephen organized his resume nicely. It is great that Stephen emphasized the skills from his former jobs that are most important in real estate. I especially like where he lists that he "served customers, satisfied customer's needs." These are very important qualities of a real estate agent.

Response to Ashley's Resume:

Ashley starts her resume with an excellent statement for her objective. Not only does she state the job she is seeking but she also states that she wants a job in a field that "will help children excel in their educational setting." This shows that she has the heart to work in education. I think that could put her at an advantage with other candidates. Unfortunately, Ashley doesn't have any co-op experience, but she will eventually do some student teaching. So, that's not an incredible disadvantage.

Response to Kristine's Resume:

After first looking over Kristine's resume, it seems a little too lengthy. Her objective statement is also to vague. I think it would be better to make a more direct objective statement. The format of her resume presents all of her educational skills before her work experience. I think this was a wise choice in formatting. It puts her educational experience first. She displayed her work experience in graphic communication very well. I think that will really give her an advantage. This resume really makes Kristine a great candidate for a job. I do think that Kristine should add something about references at the bottom of her resume.
