Resume extravaganza

I really did not think that specific resumes would stand out after browsing a lot of them. There were a lot that stood out, but I actually saw a couple of resumes I would not consider reading at first sight since their structure was not attractive. The ones I chose were 9, 20, 23, 26 and 32. All of these resumes look very rich in content since at first sight you could see that they had a lot of specific details. These resumes had good use of italics and bold letters which showed professionalism and dedication. All these resumes fit the page perfectly, which made them stand out among the rest. If a resume had poor content, meaning that it was small, I would just skip it and go to the next one. I chose these 5 because all of them had rich structure, they all looked professional, and above all, very organized.

This activity will definately make me change my resume. Before, I was just considering to take the feedback some of my classmates gave me a few days ago, but now, after this activity, there are other points I'm taking in consideration when revising my resume. I am going to keep in mind all of the things that stood out when browsing my classmates' resumes, and change my resume to make it stand out among the rest. Most of the ones I chose are favorites, and with good reason since they all attracted attention at first sight.
