General Responses to Resumes

General Response to Hayden's Resume:

Great Resume. I like how you start off with the objective section. If I was an employer I could see right off the bat exactly what type of position you are looking for. It also shows that you know what you want and that you will not just take anything you can get. It shows organization and confidence in yourself which would be a really good start when that is the first thing the employer is going to see. Also, good wording with this section as well. I can really feel the trade-off of what you want as opposed to what you can do for me. You have a nice lengthy section of honors and awards. This shows that you are a hard working and can be associated with many groups at once. Finally, I think your computer skills are excellent. I think that would be a great basis for a co-op. You really highlighted the main points for your objective.

General Response to Ashley Mauldin's Resume:

Great job Ashley. First, I will start by saying the same thing about your resume as I did with Hayden's. Great Objective section. You told me exactly what you wanted and what you could do for me. It is short and concise and gets right to the point. Also, I can feel the compassion to help children which is a must for anyone searching for a job in Early Childhood Education. Also, I like your section of honors and activities. You have a nice lengthy list which will really look good to an employer. Great job. The only part that you might want to revise would be under Education. You say that you have a bachelor degree in early childhood education then on the next line you have major: Early Childhood education, so maybe put bachelor of (Science)or(Arts), then graduation year. And then on the next line you can leave major: Early childhood education. But overall I really like your resume, good job.

General Response to Bobby Cole:

Great Resume. Again great beginning. I like the fact that you have high goals set from the beginning, because every knows that finding cures for those diseases is not an easy road. I like your experience section. I believe that you achieved your goal of showing that you are a hard worker and are well rounded with many traits to offer me as the employer. Again, the honors and activities shows that you are a hard worker also, and that you can learn which is a very valuable trait in the workforce. Now at first, I really did not like the "other" part under your skills section. I was thinking that we talked in class how a resume is priceless real estate and you should only put on what can apply to the job you are searching for. But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense to me. Playing music is not easy. It takes constant practice and shows a capacity for learning. Being able to learn new traits is very important in the working world. So great job. The only thing I might would change is the same thing I said to Ashley. Under Education, you put Bachelors of Biological Sciences, then underneath you put Major: Biological Sciences. This sounds a little repetitive. Maybe put Bachelors of Science, Graduation Year. Then underneath that put Major: Biological Sciences. Overall, great job!
