WTF Resumes?!?
A resume header must include this.
What is contact information such as name (larger font), phone, email, and potentially an indication of area of job search (city and state)?
CSP should say this if they see that a resume contains typos, is unorganized, hard to read, or an online template inappropriate for the client's desired industry.
What is anything that addresses ineffective resume writing strategy and corrects them?
Leadership Experience, Campus Involvement, Honors, Awards & Recognition, Volunteer Experience, Projects, and Skills are these.
What are resume sections? These can be customized as needed to help improve competitiveness.
Student says, "I listed my duties as my experience bullets." CSP might say this.
What is "it might be better to focus on accomplishments and skills related to your objective rather than just a listing of job duties."
In terms of document format, a CSP should tell students to keep it this.
What is consistent (also clean or clear)?
CSP says there is only one kind of resume and it can be used for all industries and jobs. Their is a non-traditional student changing career fields.
What is incorrect (or bad) information? What kind of resume may be more appropriate for a person transitioning fields or has gaps in their employment history?
Rule of thumb: 10-15 years prior work history/experience
What is the length of employment history generally included on a resume?
To apply communication and technical skills in the Marketing Coordinator position with D&D Advertising.
What is an objective? Isn't typical needed, but can helps to include the name of the job and employer on your resume for ATS. Especially helpful for entry-level clients with majors/experiences that do not directly align with the job being applied for and applying transferable skills. More experienced clients may use a Qualifications Summary or Career Profile section or leave this off completely if the experience is obvious.
Work Experience, Relevant Experience, Related Experience, Communications Experience, Software Development Experience, Professional Experience, or Additional Experience.
What are ways to be strategic about experience categories?
When making decisions about what information and in what order sections should be included on the resume, clients/students should consider this.
What is the job in which they are using the resume to apply for (or the document's objective)?
Bachelor's in History.
What is the incorrect formatting of educational credential? BA in History or Bachelor of Arts in History.
What is false? (a general workable resume document is fine to start searching, but the specific review/strategy can only be applied once you know how it will be used).
What you do if it appears that the client has limited experience on their resume.
What is make sure they did not intentionally leave off experiences. Ask if they have other experience such as community experience, class projects, related coursework, volunteering, study abroad, part-time jobs, and/or high school involvement/organizations/special academic concentrations. Work with what experience the student does have.
