Personal Resume #1

This week I developed my resume into a professional style resume. I chose to go with an internship posting because I had high interest in what the internship was offering. The job posting I directed my resume towards, was interning as a personal assistant to an NFL football player. Before this assignment, I already possessed a job resume from prior job experience but after learning more about the details of a resume I saw that my resume needed some work. The first problem I saw with my resume was the format. The dates on my resume were in long form instead of abbreviated form and the right alignment of the dates were not even. Attending the resume workshop allowed me to highlight small mistakes on my resume that job seekers will notice if not corrected accordingly.

I feel this assignment went a lot smoother than the memo assignment because I already had a understanding about resumes. Since, I had jobs in the past I had to present a resume when applying. On the other hand, I have never been asked to write a memo. Therefore, I feel the feedback I receive for the resume will include more positives than I received for the memo.
