Resume Response: Shayaa

After looking over Shayaa's resume, I think he has set up his resume very well. His resume presents his purpose and his objective from the start. It is obvious the type of job and position he is looking for. I do think that Shayaa's lack of co-op or internship experience could be a downfall when he does look for a job, but he did state that he was aware of that before posting his resume. I do think that it was wise of Shayaa to list not only his previous job experiences, but also the tasks he performed when he worked. The tasks demonstrate his leadership skills as well as his ability to work with other people. I also like that he listed his many volunteer experiences. This shows his willingness to work without some type of gratification for his work. I would suggest that Shayaa list his references rather than stating that they are available upon request. Because he has no work experience in civil engineering, references will be essential to help an employer evaluate Shayaa's abilities as a civil engineer. I also think Shayaa should list any awards he has received because these will also give him a better chance of obtaining a job.
