Still can not believe that this is our last blog. In a way this is bittersweet for me because I enjoyed doing this and it was a new genre for me. The closest to blogging I have ever done is reblogging someone's post on tumblr.
For this blog post I will be talking about my resume and how it came to be.
I never really started to write a resume until I started college, when I actually wanted to apply for a program. I researched everything online to figure out how to write one and still could not figure out a way to make it look professional and have every element it was suppose to have. I had a random thought in my head and asked my friend to send me his resume, without questions, besides telling him I was applying for a research position. I copied his format and changed everything he had as experience with what I have done. I have not really done a lot besides be in a club and help out at my youth group, so I had to exaggerate as many things as I could about it.
I realized from this week's class that the experience had to be relatable to the position you're applying for and nearly nothing was, at the time, but it was the only I could put on a resume. It took me a very long time to come up with something adequate on my resume, but unfortunately, I didn't get the research position and my friend did, even though she wasn't gonna apply until I told her. I'm glad she got it anyways hahah.
Besides having to figure out what to put on my resume, I also had to figure out how to make it fit all on one page. It was not that hard except I used a small font (which I realized now shouldn't be too small) and also I had to figure out what sort of skills I did have as well. Since this week's class, I realized that I really need to redo my whole resume because a majority of the "not to do's" was on my resume.
On the plus side, the same resume with just a bit retweeking, got me my job as a cashier. At least my average resume led me to something new that I can also put on my resume!
