Hi Irina
We have a traditional approach when it comes to resumes. A Career Objective statement at the top might be appropriate. Although sometimes it can lock a student into one job when they may have skills for a variety of positions.
Best wishes, Susan
Dr. Schulz:
I would like to know your opinion on having a "Personal Goal" and/or a "Personal Profile" section on a resume.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

Hi Billy
We also agree that resumes should be straight forward.The process for writing the resume should allow the students to understand what they have done, who they are, what they like, their special abiliities. Then during an interview they will be prepared when asked about themselves.
Best wishes
Susan
resumes should be straight forward and no to the point. the presentation by the student is more important than the resume
HI Dawn
Yes, creativity needs to be fostered and creative resumes appropriately sent for each type of industry. It's a fine line that some grads just don't have. So certainly don't want to discourage getting grads to think about their edge and what makes their unique. It needs to be right for each type of job. Let's hear more ideas.
Best wishes
Susan
