B) Explain how you plan, organize, write, and complete your resume, including choice of formats. Which do you prefer, and why? (50 words)
When initiating my resume, I first have to take into consideration my employer. Which qualities/skills are they looking for, I’m I the right fit. Most commonly, I would use the functional and chronological resume to organize. But let’s say a previous job I had a few years ago, actually has more skills in what my “hopefully new employer” is looking for, than I will use the reverse order resume. Usually the format I will use is a header with my information (name, address, number, and email), career objective, education, skills, work experience, honors, and references. When writing my resume I highlight and point out the main key points I want them to see right away. Again, this is taking into account the skills they are looking for. I also make sure everything is clear to read. For instance, not using abbreviations they won’t be able to understand on their own. Once, I have finished my resume I proofread multiple times and I at least hand it to two other people for feedback.
