General Responses to resumes

General Response to Pamela Pryor’s Resume

If I were to be an employer looking at Pamela’s resume I would be very impressed with her experience, grades, and awards. However, if I was in a hurry I am not sure if I would catch all these aspects. I think she needs to use formatting to highlight these key traits that she wants to make sure a potential employer sees. It is also important when listing specific jobs, awards, and activities to list them in the post pertinent order to the job you are applying for. If the formatting was cleaned up to the level expected, I would definitely hire Pamela.

General Response to Jason Patterson’s Resume

As an employer I would be a little concerned with Jason’s work experience, but this would be counter balanced by the fact he has a quality degree from Clemson. I was also impressed with his volunteer activities. Some minor revisions in formatting could help make the resume a little more attractive, but this could just be Blogger. I would recommend adding a computer skills section since it is a critical part of engineering. Overall a well organized resume.

General Response to Kristy Erwin’s Resume

I think Kristy’s resume is very well organized and easy to follow. Even though the formatting traits don’t show up on Blogger, based on her description it sounds like she has done a good job. One critique I would have is that the honors and activities be listed in an order that is most suitable for the job she is applying. The Outstanding Graphics Communication Award would probably be listed first since it is the most relevant. Otherwise a very impressive resume, based on her resume I would hire Kristy.
