What can the writer do to make the resume better tailored to the specific job being applied for?
If it is on your resume it should have something to do with your objective. For instance, think of what you did at CVS and translate that into a skill or action that would have to do with your objective.
Is the layout and design pleasing to the eye? Make at least one suggestion for improving it.
Take it out of excel. The format is fine otherwise, but it definitely needs to be in a word file or saved as a PDF.
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?
Right now it looks fine, but its hard to tell if it would translate the same if placed in a word document.
Is it easily readable (no confusing fonts, clearly marked sections)? What improvements can be made?
Easily readable.
Does it use typography (including headers and bold and italics) appropriately and effectively?
I'm not quite sure how to answer that since it's in excel (and I do apologize for bringing that up over and over)
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.
You can take out the high school information under EDUCATION
Does the content of the resume support the objective (if there is one)? Explain.
Elaborate under the work experience. It makes thing cleaner and easier to read if you bullet point each action.
Is the resume too short? Where can it elaborate? Job skills? Responsibilities? Education?
See the previous two comments.
Is material sequenced in order of importance and relevance?
Yes.
Do bulleted items begin with action verbs? Are list items ordered in terms of importance?
Action words are present but they are on the plain side (this is probably just me being picky in the use of language and not an actual format problem). Take a look back in the order in which you listed the duties. Try and make the language focus on how that duty relates to accounting (the field you want to pursue).
Does the resume avoid generalities and focus on specific information and professional terminology?
The more specific language you can use when writing about what you did under WORK EXPERIENCE, the better off you will be.
Does the resume pass the Quadrant, Column, Squint, and Distance tests? Explain how the author might make improvements based on your test results.
Have I mentioned that you should take it out of excel?
What other observations can you make about the resume?
you spelled pledge in "pledge class" wrong.
You have the basic idea down and it just needs to be fine tuned a bit (but then thats why we are all taking this class isn't it?)
Oh and if for some reason your resume only came up in excel on my cpu and you don't have the file in that format, feel free to shoot me a comment/blog/email telling me that I'm a jackass for bringing it up so many times
What can the writer do to make the resume better tailored to the specific job being applied for?
I think as of now everything looks ok. If you do have any other experience related to accounting that should be put in.
Is the layout and design pleasing to the eye? Make at least one suggestion for improving it.
It looks ok but if transfered to word i think the formatting can be a little better. For your work experience i would put the name of the place you worked in bold along with your title. People want to know if they are any big names that they recognise an din your resume it a little hard ot find.
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 look as though it would, but when transferred in word i am not sure if it will.
Is it easily readable (no confusing fonts, clearly marked sections)? What improvements can be made?
It is really easily readable but in the section where you put the name of the place you worked and its location under is a little confusing to me. I would try and fit it in one line, but thats just a personal prefernece. The resume overall though does look nice.
Does it use typography (including headers and bold and italics) appropriately and effectively?
Yes, it is done well.
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.
Yes it is located properly, but again ym suggestion would be to put the name of th eplace you worked and its location in the same line as your job title.
Does the content of the resume support the objective (if there is one)? Explain.
Yes.Your bork at the hospital shows your interested in accounting.
Is the resume too short? Where can it elaborate? Job skills? Responsibilities? Education?
The length is fine.
Is material sequenced in order of importance and relevance?
Yes
Do bulleted items begin with action verbs? Are list items ordered in terms of importance?
Yes
Does the resume avoid generalities and focus on specific information and professional terminology?
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 does pass the tests.
What other observations can you make about the resume?
It a good resume in totality, I would just reformat it a little, but other wise good job!
I thought your resume was kind of bland. I thought your address lines to up to much space. I also felt that you did not use up all the space of the page that you could have.
