As part of group three, we got the section on resumes. This section was very insightful considering when we graduate, we will be sending these out to our potential employers. We learned about the two mains kinds a resumes and that is what I will be discussing.
The first type of resume we covered in this section was chronological resumes. These resumes are typically the most common format for resumes people submit. These are generally for people who have experience in the field they are applying for. These resumes show your current work experience which is why people who have had jobs in the field they are applying for use it.
Another type of resume we covered was functional resumes. These are mainly used for people with breaks between their previous jobs or for other people who are changing careers. This is not as prevalent as chronological resumes but they are more or less used for entry or first time resumes as there is not always as much experience.
Outside of covering these types of resumes, we also learned stuff they involve. It talks about styles and what all we should be including in each of these resumes. Along with that, we discussed the lengths it should be and how we can best set it up. This included the size font to use, which is between 10 and 14 as well as the one inch margins to make it look less cluttered. Lastly, while you are including all of your information, you are to use a neutral color such as white or egg shell. This is essentially what we covered, thank you.
