Sample Resume Critique
Dear Tara -
Given your obvious artistic talents and your desire to make this
your career, I chose a "Stylish" resume format to best present
your qualifications. As you can see, I chose two of your pen & ink
drawings for prominent display in your new resume. At a glance,
an admissions director or a hiring manager can easily see what
you have to offer.
Because contact data (phone number and email) is so important,
I placed yours immediately beneath the drawings. The eye is naturally
drawn to this information.
In the body of your new resume, I began with a Profile in which
I describe you as
"Award-winning," then list the mediums you work in.
For the next subheading, I chose "Honors." Clearly, you have many
that should be emphasized. Also, because admissions directors and
hiring managers are so very busy, most merely skim resumes as they
search for the winning candidate. Therefore, it's very important
that all achievements be brought out as quickly as possible.
Next, I listed your Education to show a hiring manager or an admissions
director how well you worked in school, as you currently
have no job experience.
For the last section, I chose to list your activities as they
are directly related to your career goal of work as an artist.
Your new resume is well organized and filled with pertinent data,
while also being aesthetically pleasing. All decisions to modify
data were in keeping with the guidelines and standards set forth
by the Professional Association of Resume Writers (PARW).
It was a pleasure serving you, Tara. Best of luck in your future
career.
