Resumes are very important documents and you don’t want your resume to look like you did not put a lot of effort into it. You want your future potential employer to be impressed with your resume. You want your resume to stand out, so you can move on to the next step – job interview.
Here are things that you should include in your resume:
- Your full name and last name, address, phone number, and email address
- Objective ( if needed)
- Education
- Work experience ( Describe all present jobs in present tense, and previous jobs in past tense; List your jobs in sequential order with the most recent first)
- Volunteer Experience
- Related Skills
- Languages ( if you speak more than one)
- Accomplishments

I'm very impressed with the amount of information you included in this blog! It is definitely informative and you covered your topic well. I also like that you included your voice in this post, you took the team's feedback and incorporated it into your blog which is good! I'll have to say that the beginning is a little choppy and hard to understand, but I saw your intentions with the conversational text and I'm glad you included that. There is also a minor spelling error but it is something that could be easily over looked by anyone.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, great bullet points, format, use of examples, and videos! I definitely feel like you put a lot of effort in to this blog. You have done a great job with this project and you have definitely been a main contributor all 4 weeks, and I wish you the best!
Your tips on how to write a resume are great and super helpful. Your use of youtube videos to help explain resume writing is wonderful. I do not think you left anything out that could be useful in writing a resume.

ReplyDeleteGood post. I think the you tube video and the example are nice additions as well. There was only a few minor spelling errors, otherwise a good post.
ReplyDeleteMagda,
ReplyDeleteGreat job yet again on your blog! I think you covered the topic very well. The points you included were defiantly helpful and divided nicely. It made it easy to read and understand, as well as, reference back to. The introduction was a nice change of pace because you tried to do something different by writing conversationally and enthusiastically, nice job.
The two videos also gave readers another option to get further tips and explanations about resume writing. The points about the size font to use and to start writing it now and edit as you go, I think is great and defiantly something people should do. The only thing I would have wished you had done was come up with a more catchy title for your blog.
Overall great job on this project. You always posted early and provided great detail and it is greatly appreciate.
Thanks for sharing your resume. This gives me an idea on how to do mine. They're sating to have professional resume writing Edmonton write it. I'm still considering it but I would like to try making one first.
