How was I influenced?
After reading these select resumes I would recommend all three of these candidates. For the most part all three resumes had action words that drew me into reading more of what they had to say. Each person explained what they did at their past job into tasks that would be useful for the job they are applying for. Looking at how these individuals made themselves applicable for the desired job made me think of different ways I can boost my own resume to make an employer want to read it all the way through. Another thing I learned after reading these resumes is that I need to make mine stand out and make it seem different then the rest.
Ron was right, this journal entry is fanominal and is a great example on how to format the third journal.I really liked the "How was I influenced" paragraph. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI agree, this journal entry is excellent. Keep this up and you won't ever have to worry about drowning your sorrows in your brownie batter.. No, but seriously, this was good, I like what you had to say about finding ways to boost your resume to have an employer read it all the way through. That is my biggest fear, I guess, that whoever I may be giving it too will just get bored with it. Pointing out ten of the most important action words will definitely steer my resume in the direction of more interesting and readable resume.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous summaries, Katie, although I have no idea what 'brownie batter' comment is about...

I feel you showcased your writing ability here. Your reactions are concise and the format is easy to follow. I love that you drew a connection to the job description and the verbs in the resume. I think not only is it important to personalize the cover letter, but also the information in the resume.
