Business Writing Discussion
Read Kolin, Chapter Five, and then based on your readings, analyze and revise the following resume (your initial posting) and discuss (your two response postings/peer reviews). Your revision counts as your initial posting and is to be a minimum of 300 words.
Use a traditional format, pay attention to details, and be consistent. Make the objective statement “focused” (pages 180-181) .” Put work experience and education in order by most recent. Current/present positions should be written in present tense and past positions written in past tense. Remove/revise any unneeded or inappropriate information.” In the work experience section, create bulleted vertical lists that use parallel structure. Overall, strive to create a professional looking resume in which information is easy for employers to find.
