This is the resume extravaganza activity. Open the file below, and read through all the resumes in no more than 10 minutes. As you read, pay attention to where you are looking on the resumes and how you are evaluating them. Choose 5 people you would call for an interview at a hypothetical company. In a blog entry tagged with the "Resume extravaganza" tag, list those five (by page number) and discuss the activity. What aspects of the resumes stood out? Why did you choose the 5 you did? How will this activity inform your own resume revision? As you post, see which resumes are chosen repeatedly. Do the same ones emerge as favorites? Why or why not?
