Resume Rough Draft

Questions for Response
1. What can the writer do to make the resume better tailored to the specific job being applied for? Not much, you did a good job expressing how your skills can better the business.
2. Is the layout and design pleasing to the eye? Make at least one suggestion for improving it. The layout is a little plain to the eye. Having said that I think that it is straight forward and easy to read. Also, I think that your address is a little hard to read. You should try putting it off to the side of your name, with your email address right under it.
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 fits cleanly into the page.
4. Is it easily readable (no confusing fonts, clearly marked sections)? What improvements can be made? There are no confusing fonts. The sections run together just a little bit. There needs to be more distinguished sections.
5. Does it use typography (including headers and bold and italics) appropriately and effectively? Yes, the correct use of bold letters and italics are used correctly.

8. Is the resume too short? Where can it elaborate? Job skills? Responsibilities? Education? The resume content amount is just right. The activities part of the resume is a little vague.
9. Is material sequenced in order of importance and relevance? Yes, they are.
10. Do bulleted items begin with action verbs? Are list items ordered in terms of importance? Yes, all of the bulleted items start with an action verb and all are listed in sequence of importance.
11. Does the resume avoid generalities and focus on specific information and professional terminology? It could use a little bit fancier lingo in order to show a higher level of professionalism, however, the content is solid.
12. Does the resume pass the Quadrant, Column, Squint, and Distance tests (See attached document below for help with these tests)? Explain how the author might make improvements based on your test results. Yes. However, the bulleted items emphasizing experience could use a little makeover in order to keep the readers attention.

1. What can the writer do to make the resume better tailored to the specific job being applied for?
I think you did a good job showing how you work experience relates to the position you want to obtain at Kelly Services. In your object you might want to be more specific with the job you want to obtain at Kelly Services.

At first glance the resume appears to be a little confusing. You may want to consider left indenting you bulleted its in the experience 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?
The experience section appears to be a little spaced out. Again you may want to left indent in the experience section.
4. Is it easily readable (no confusing fonts, clearly marked sections)? What improvements can be made?
The dates which you were employed at each job are a little hard to read. You may want to consider bolding these items to make them more visible.
5. Does it use typography (including headers and bold and italics) appropriately and effectively?
Headings do not really stand out from the rest of the text. You might want to use a different text for both the headings and the rest of the text. Or you could just increase the size of the font.
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.
