As discussed in lecture throughout this semester, your resume communicates your qualifications and skills to a potential employer. You need to have a resume that helps you differentiate yourself from other applicants. Using all the knowledge you have learned throughout this semester, complete the following:

Update your resume based on knowledge learned in lectures and feedback provided during the class assignment earlier this semester.

Upload your updated resume here.

For grading purposes, we will review your original resume submitted for this course compared to your updated resume submitted here. We will be critiquing the changes based on the following areas:

Have updates been made? (If you choose to upload the same resume or no obvious changes were made, you will receive 0 points)

Were formatting issues addressed and fixed?

Is the resume in reverse chronological order?

Are spelling & grammatical errors fixed?

Were updates to contact info addressed (i.e. removal of street address, removal of hyperlinks, condensed LinkedIn address {see guide provided in Canvas})

Are all personal pronouns removed (I, we, they, them)?

Is your school/degree posted correctly? Hint, you can view the sample resumes & Lecture PowerPoint slides

Do all bullet points under positions start with a verb and are the verb tenses correct? (current tense for current job, past tense for past job, NO “ing”)

Did you strengthen bullet points based on resources provided in Week 10 lecture?

Is outdated language removed (i.e. references available upon request)

For those of you that received a perfect score of 125 on the original assignment AND no feedback was written on your original resume, you can simple upload the one submitted in the early assignment for an additional 75 points. BE SURE THERE WAS NO FEEDBACK. There is a chance you received a perfect score but there was still suggested changes/updates made in Canvas.
