overview of the Academic Career Report*.
Do NOT turn in a Thank You Letter as part of this assignment
Please see the Academic Career Report video for directions on how to revise and complete attached resume
A couple additional points:
1- Please remove the red and green references from your Resume. I had you do this exercise earlier in the semester to help you think through how to organize.
2- Templates are not provided. I am challenging you all to create based on the video lecture/ directions.
Stephanie Renee Taylor Feedback:
1- Remove High School reference.
2- Tense issues.
3- Avoid first person in resume.
4- ‘Impact’ not provided in each of your ‘Experience’ bullets.
5- What are there things in brackets throughout the ‘Experience’ section?
6- Formatting inconsistencies.
7- Noticed redundant bullets – remember, this is not a quantity exercise. It is a quality exercise.
8- Professional Summary needs a bit of work: what is meant by the first bullet? What types of roles are you seeking post graduation? You will want to ensure the things you are highlighting in your Resume, as part of your summary, correspond.
