Journal 13:
Rachel – Overall, the layout of your resume, as well as the order of your experience looks great! There is probably more experience that you can pull out of each of those positions! You have well-rounded experience, and I think you can probably use stronger verbs to convey that more powerfully!
Kiara – I think adding some bold headings would make this resume look a lot cleaner! I would add some different sizes in your heading to highlight your name and contact information, as well as bolding some of your job titles! In addition, the career skills section might be changed to add some more details, as the skills listed are very vague. I believe you can also remove your high school information from the education sections as well!
Maeve – I like your layout! I would say to underline the section headings to distinguish them from the job titles you list! You do a great job with the language in your job descriptions, I particularly like the Starbucks one, and I think you put a good spin on your job duties there! I would work on trying to condense it to one page, and maybe make the font for the job descriptions just a tiny bit smaller and I think that should do it.
Journal 14: One of the main pieces of feedback I received about my resume was the length. My resume is slightly longer than one page, and my group mates told me it is possible to condense it down to one page. Also, in my experiences that are present, I use the wrong tense, and instead of present, I write the expected end date, which should not be there since it hasn’t happened yet. I could also flesh out my second page and use the whole page with references and skills/qualifications, rather than condensing down.
