General Responses to Resumes

General Response to Jason Patterson's Resume:

If I were an employer evaluating Jason's resume, the first thing that I would notice is Jason's detailed profile. Jason clearly identifies what kind of entry level position he is seeking, as well as his willingness to learn new skills and be an active team member. This is an important quality of any prospective employee. I would also recognize Jason's B.S. degree which would demonstrate his competence as a civil engineer. Hiring Jason would probably be contingent upon his previous employer's remarks about his character. If everything checked out and I found out Jason was a well rounded individual, I would offer him a job.


General Response to Kristine Erwin's Resume:

If I were an employer evaluating Kristin's resume, I would immediately notice she has had hands on experience in the graphics industry. I would also recognize her B.S. degree in Graphic Communication that would lead me to believe she is knowledgeable and ready to work. Kristine has impressive computer skills, as well as a good objective. My only serious recommendation would be for Kristine to personalize her resume a little more. It appears to be rather plain, but that could be a result of Blogger's text entry, which isn't the most cooperative when the element of design comes into play. If we had a good interview, I would strongly consider offering Kristine a job.


General Response to Robin Payne's Resume:

If I were an employer evaluating Robin's resume, I would first evaluate her work experience. While Robin has an extensive list of work experience, I would recommend narrowing it down to focus more on her experiences that have transferable skills specifically aimed at her teaching objectives. Not that her list is bad at all, I just feel it could be more affective if it were revised. I would be impressed by Robin's proficiencies with computer software, and her clearly defined objective. If we had a good interview, I would consider offering Robin a teaching position.
