Man, I thought I had a pretty decent resume! I guess I don't! However, after reviewing the scores, I scored fairly high on all categories (even getting a 99/100) so I'm not sure what I will have to do to raise my score! I will tinker around with some of the language to see how I do! I knew there are a plethora of resume and CV sites available, but I assumed you had to pay for them all! How great to find a free one!
Well, I swapped some things around, and too out my first person-let's see if I improved!
Ack! Well, I improved in one category, and went down in another! At least it got a C+ instead of a
C-? I guess there is always room for improvement! I also was at a loss to change that much-looks like I might need some professional help!
NETS T standards associated with this are:
3) Model digital age work and learning
5) Engage in professional growth and leadership
It is my belief, that many, myself included do not know or need to improve upon basic workplace skills like resume building. Having worked in the public library, many patrons would come in asking for help with this and I was surprised at the number who did not know anything about writing a resume. I don't think I wrote my first one until applying for graduate school. I since rely on them heavily and as the results show above, mine certainly need work! Students becoming comfortable about jobs, applying for them, and your digital/paper presence is a valuable thing. Too many times I see wasted potential in a part-time or shift work job. Having an up-to-date, well written and well rounded resume is key for advancing your career. Developing computer skills early, and the resources to hone them is invaluable later in life.
