1) What can the writer do to make the resume better tailored to the specific job being applied for?
- If applicable, try and tailor the objective to the position you are applying for.
2) Is the layout and design pleasing to the eye? Make at least one suggestion for improving it.
- I suggest you try not to indent the bullets so far over.
3) Does the resume fit comfortably within the page (as opposed to being squished in or stretched out)? What can the writer do to improve it?
- Yes it does fit within a page. There seems to be a lot of blank space towards the bottom, I would recommend adding in an extracurricular activities section to help fill in that blank space.
4) Is it easily readable (no confusing fonts, clearly marked sections)? What improvements can be made?
- For the most part it easily readable, however I do not think you noticed that in the Computer Skills section the alignment is somewhat off. Also, make the font bigger in the objective so employers can see better just what it is you are looking for.
5) Does it use typography (including headers and bold and italics) appropriately and effectively?
- Yes, I liked how you bolded the employer you worked for and italicized your position.
6) Is the most important information located on the left side of the page and near the top whenever possible? Identify at least one part that could be better placed.
- The important information is located on the left side. Maybe place the Computer Skills under the work experience.
7) Does the content of the resume support the objective (if there is one)? Explain.
- The content does in fact support the objective. Your work experience and computer skills are very relevant to what kind of internship you are seeking.
8 Is the resume too short? Where can it elaborate? Job skills? Responsibilities? Education?
- Like I mention before, I suggest you add in an activities section and include the dates of your membership. Also, I would include a heading for your work experience. Right now it seems your job experience is under your computer skills section.
9) Is material sequenced in order of importance and relevance?
- Yes it is sequenced in order of importance and relevance.
10) Do bulleted items begin with action verbs? Are list items ordered in terms of importance?
- Yes, used good action verbs throughout the entire resume.
11) Does the resume avoid generalities and focus on specific information and professional terminology?
- Yes, the resume does avoid generalities and focuses on specific information.
12) Does the resume pass the Quadrant, Column, Squint, and Distance tests? Explain how the author might make improvements based on your test results.
- Yes, it passes the test.
13) What other observations can you make about the resume?
- I noticed at the top of your resume I can’t tell if that is your permanent or local address. If they are the same then simply disregard what I just said but if not I would recommend that you put your local address to the left and permanent address to the right.
