I've been writing my own Resume forever, but never used the table way. Usually I just used a template and just filled in my information. Going forward I will build my own Resume because I can add my own personality to it. At the end of the day employers just look at a paper and continue about their day so if I can add my personality, I think that would help. What I learned in this class I will be able to use outside of class. From now on I will use what I learned when I apply for another job.
Using a table to align content in Microsoft Word, I love your choice of a new skill learned from Chapter 4!
ReplyDeleteIt is also a key skill I stress in A3 Tailored Cover Letter and Resume and A4 Homepage ^_^
Very glad to hear you will use what you learned in IS101-3010, Spring 2022 outside of class :-)
I have not used a table either. I thought it was very insightful and definitely made my resume look more sharp.
ReplyDeleteI was fortunate; my current boss often uses this trick when authoring pages for a manual or technical paper, so I knew exactly what the directions meant when referencing the use of a table, as opposed to tabs.
ReplyDeleteI took a class on resume writing while ETS (End Term of Service) from the Army. Afterwards I learned from some friends how to improve upon my resume and again in this class. Resumes can always be better they just take time and effort.
ReplyDeleteI agree, personality does go a long way and if you can show it through a resume that's a plus.
ReplyDeleteI plan on using what I learn from this class in creating better resumes in the future as well!
ReplyDeleteI have been bragging to everyone about creating a resume from scratch. I was honestly shook that I could even do such a thing.
ReplyDeleteLearning how to create a resume without using a template is great. Every chapter in labSim is an introduce to something we thought we knew but don't.
ReplyDeleteThe table did make the resume look a lot nicer, but I still like to create my own.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed learning about how to create tables and utilize them for different purposes like a resume. I think building your own resume instead of using a template looks more impressive.
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually used it, but I am aware of it now, since I'm taking this class.
ReplyDeleteI would like to compare a resume I made with a template, to a resume I make completely by myself.
