Looks good for the position you are applying for.
2. Is the layout and design pleasing to the eye? Make at least one suggestion for improving it.
Overall the uniformity looks good except that the sections seem to look like paragraphs instead of short phrases. I would suggest either limiting the number of bullets per section
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?
It looks perfect for a one page resume.
4.Is it easily readable (no confusing fonts, clearly marked sections)? What improvements can be made?
The fonts are easy to read and sections clearly marked. The only suggestion would to be unbold the education section and the other few bolded items in the leadership activities to give a more uniform look.
5. Does it use typography (including headers and bold and italics) appropriately and effectively?
Yes.

The job is for a pharmeceutical position with her objective geared towards Pfizer. It fits perfectly.

It filled the page well and each section is properly balanced.

Yes.

Yes.

Questions for Response
1.) What can the writer do to make the resume better tailored to the specific job being applied for?
You did a very good job at making your resume tailored to a specific job. It is really good how you even have the company’s name and the department that you want to work in, in your objective statement.
2.) Is the layout and design pleasing to the eye? Make at least one suggestion for improving it.
The layout and design isn’t too bad but there isn’t enough white space on the paper. There is too much information jammed into one page and it looks confusing. There needs to be less information, more blank space on the resume and be a little bit more creative.
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?
The resume does not fit comfortably on one page, it is too squished on one page and it overwhelms the reader. Some information needs to be condensed and taken away to fit on one page.
4.) Is it easily readable (no confusing fonts, clearly marked sections)? What improvements can be made?
It is easily readable, the font is good but the only thing I would change is all of the parentheses with the dates in them, it is really confusing to read.
5.) Does it use typography (including headers and bold and italics) appropriately and effectively?
It does use typography but a bit more such as italics could be used in some places. Possibly the dates could be italicized.
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.
All of your contact information and name if located at the top left, which is the most important information. Maybe just put your permanent address and center it on the resume and leave off our current address.
7.) Does the content of the resume support the objective (if there is one)? Explain.
Your content of your resume does support the objective, you want to work for a pharmaceutical company and you have worked in a pharmacy and volunteered at a hospital. Those are all related very well.
8.) Is the resume too short? Where can it elaborate? Job skills? Responsibilities? Education?
The resume but no means was too short it was actually too long, the only section that could have a little more information in it is the skills section.
9.) Is material sequenced in order of importance and relevance?
It looks to me that the material is sequenced in order of importance and relevance.
10.) Do bulleted items begin with action verbs? Are list items ordered in terms of importance?
You did a very good job at having your bulleted items begin with action verbs and they look as though they are ordered in terms of importance as well.
11.) Does the resume avoid generalities and focus on specific information and professional terminology?
Your resume is also very specific and has very specific information about your previous jobs and it could use a bit more professional terminology.
12.) Does the resume pass the Quadrant, Column, Squint, and Distance tests? Explain how the author might make improvements based on your test results.
It might have a little too much information to pass the test. I would take out a little information towards the bottom of the page and it will make it a little neater.
13.) What other observations can you make about the resume?
It is a really good resume with a lot of excellent information but I think I just has too much for anyone to read and understand. Some information just has to be weaved out and it will be good!
