Journal 13: Cameron, I thought your summary was very well written and professional to me. I think you have a ton of great information to work with and it’s very thorough. I’m not sure how many pages it shows up for on your end but for me it’s three pages, if it’s not already single spaced that would be my only critique. You could also make the font size 11 if you haven’t already.
Sarah, I really like the visual appeal of your organization. I think it’s professional and easy to read. I think it was the right choice to put the sections in the order you did; it makes sense. The only thing I have to suggest is to add a period at the end of the sentence in the objective.
Emily, I love the way you formatted everything and added a pop of color. I think it’s appropriate and translates well in the field of journalism/writing. It makes me think of how it’s acceptable to have a little “fun” with your resume in creative fields like graphic design, and would be wildly inappropriate for a corporate job. My two suggestions would be to see if you could mess with the margin to make it fit one page, and there’s a missing period in the Old Orchard Beach Elementary School volunteer section.
Journal 14 :I think what I’m going to focus on the most on my résumé is formatting and organization. The feedback I generally received was to add my responsibilities at the jobs I listed and switch the order of some points in relevant skills and experience to emphasize *the* most relevant ones. Overall, though, I was told my general format was pleasing to the eye and was easy to read. I thought I received and gained valuable feedback. My groups’ résumés had a lot of great information and were formatted well, so I really only had a few minor suggestions. It was good to have sets of eyes on my résumé other than myself to catch the little things I didn’t initially notice, especially as I plan on actually using this over the summer.
