JCOM 2160--Week 2 Readings

Resume 101

I think this reading was directed at me because I never know what to put on my resume and what to leave off. It was interesting to see the difference between the advice professionals gave and what I have been taught. I used to think a resume should contain EVERYTHING great you've ever done but after reading this I realize a resume should only give a glimpse of the best and most impressive things you've done within your career. On my resume I list many of my hobbies which I know are irrelevant to jobs I apply for but I list them because I feel like I need them there to take up space and to give insight on who I am, but now I know that I should only list the ones pertinent to what I am applying for.
