Resume Reflective Analysis

I gained some insight from the articles, “Common Resume Mistakes”, “How to Answer Tricky Interview Questions”, and “Leaving Your Job? Do It With Class”. I learned from “Common Resume Mistakes”, that it is important to keep one’s resume succinct and detailed. A resume should require all the information of one’s professional life without making it unnecessarily long or revealing. From “How to Answer Tricky Interview Questions”, I learned before going into an interview, the interviewee must prepare themselves by writing out answers to interview questions and practicing them out loud. It is crucial to have answers on hand and somewhat memorized to show the interviewer that they are prepared and professional. Also, from the article, “Leaving Your

Thanks for signing up for a Resume Review with me. The following are suggestions that I believe you should make to better show off your skills, experience, and value.

After reading “Susie the Screener,” I understood that we don’t need to rush when we write our resume because there are rules that we should follow and respect. What I kept in mind, just like Susie said in the article, is that a good resume has to be “clean, objective, orderly, and logical.”

When I started this assignment, I listed everything as I thought it should be. But trouble to arise was when I read the resume back to myself. One challenge I faced was to word things in an order, so they are short and concise, yet descriptive enough to understand. Every time I thought I was being descriptive, it tends out to be either too long or too confusing for anyone but myself to understand. there’s a continuous process of editing, re-editing, and editing some more. There

Three main points David Munn talked about include how to make yourself stand out on a resume, how to make sure your resume is industry appropriate, and how to correct and make your resume great. David Munn’s presentation over all was very helpful and the information he gave to us can be used and applied in the near future.

Alternatively, buy a book or ebook on the process and write it yourself. A good resume takes some time and effort to write, but it's well worth it when you get the job. Don't just slap one together, especially if you've rarely or never written a resume. Do what it takes to get one written that will catch the attention of potential

Your advice is especially important because of your experiences at work. It is important for people that are inexperienced with résumés to take advice from people such as you. It seems that you are practiced in reviewing résumés, making your more adept at creating them. It is apparent that you have specific criteria that you look for quickly, such as work experience, when reading a résumé. If these criteria are not met at first glance then your dismissal is quick. This means that résumé writers need to be concise and straight to the point with their information, tailoring it to their

I accepted all of their advice because it was logical and reasonable to make these changes to my resume. Cindy Huynh recommended me to work on my formatting and list more skills in projects. These two recommendations help me build up my resume by trying to pursue more experiences. Francesca Joo suggested me to change all my words past tense and make my font more consistent. I need to make my resume free of grammatical error, so I can show the employer I am not illiterate. The font consistent will allow my resume to be atheistically

The functional résumé highlights a person’s skills rather than work history. Organizing my qualifications and skills into an effective functional résumé is one of my top priorities, but it is also one of the things I dread drafting the most. I am a non-traditional student that has been out of the workforce for 5 years prior to my associate’s and have joined no clubs or associations. I have no formal leadership training, my skills are limited to what I have learned in the past two years for my associate’s, and I have no relevant technical skills for a position I am currently inquiring about. I figured that I could get a degree and get a job, in that order. From to point A to point B, no in-between. With the formal education comes job opportunities,

I found many ways I can improve my résumé packet this week. The first thing I tackled while revising my résumé was checking the spelling and grammar. There were two misspelled words…I can't believe I missed them until now. Next I will tone down all the words exaggerating my qualities. I didn't realize that was a bad thing, but I can see how it takes away from the focus of the résumé. I also need to list my favorable qualities. Looking back at my annual reviews and reference letters from my boss will help me in this area. I think the most valuable tip I collected is that I should replace my responsibilities with what I have accomplished. I look forward to having a résumé that I feel confident using when the time comes for me to find a new

It's actually fairly easy to take your existing resume and tweak it to fit your needs. So here's how you proceed:

The feedback that was most helpful was to use vertical spacing in order to group sections more clearly. This was helpful because it was originally confusing to understand where one section ends and another begins. It also allows me to add more information on the same page if I take out the extra spacing between information within the same section. Other feedback included making by name at the top of the résumé in a slightly bigger font. This made my name stand out from the rest of the résumé since my name was not the same font size as everything else. I was also told to add the current work I do in my dad’s company in the experience section which helped my résumé have more content. I was also told to include location in my extracurricular activities section to make it more clear to the interviewer where and how long I did these activities. I was

Candidates are also required to submit a resume. Your resume should include your employment history and educational career. It should also include awards, achievements, and activities. If you have volunteer experiences, be sure to include it.

What constitutes a great resume? A document that has a strong opening, a keyword section with in-demand terms and, most importantly, a work history section that separates job responsibilities from concrete successes. The latter, which are typically listed in bullets, should serve as a series of talking points during the interview, allowing you to expound upon those things you do best.
