Resume Extravaganza Directions

This is the resume extravaganza activity. Open the file below, which includes several resume drafts, and read through all the resumes in no more than 5 minutes. As you read, pay attention to where you are looking on the resumes and how you are evaluating them. Choose 5 people--based SOLELY on their resume--that you would call for an interview at a hypothetical company.

In a blog entry tagged Resume extravaganza, list those five and discuss the activity/process, addressing, at the least, the following

• What aspects of the resumes stood out?
• Why did you choose the 5 you did?
• How will this activity inform your own resume revision?
• As you post, see which resumes are chosen repeatedly.
• Do the same ones emerge as favorites? Why or why not?
