As requested: Why I Tossed Your Résumé.

Click me for the blogpost!

Communications students seemed to really value the awesome advice in Brent Miller's awesome blogpost about the common mistakes in resumes, so, as you begged for, here's his post. Use it this weekend as you prepare your resumes for class on Monday. Remember that I want it printed out, and, even though resumes are usually only one page, this one may be two pages long (this time).

Also, the most awesome of you will watch this preview of what your interviews may look like.

"Wasn't I supposed to look for a job?" Don't forget your Comm homework!

Wow, long time, no write, right?

In the middle of a well-deserved weekend, I just wanted to throw out a quick reminder blogpost to the winners in Communication class of what their assignments for the weekend are:

1. Video self-evaluation for your last informative speech (which I emailed you already).
2. Finish the High School Resumes—Fill-in-the-blanks packet from pages 3-6.
3. Go to Experience.com and, under Jobs & Careers, click "Entry-level Jobs" (or this link). Look through the many pages of jobs, and find 3 that you think you would be qualified for. Write a blogpost with the address* of each job posting and a paragraph about why you would be qualified for it, times 3!

Have a nice weekend!

*Remember—to get the address, you have to open up the job posting in a new tab and give me that address. If you give me http://www.experience.com/entry-level-jobs/search-jobs/ as the address, YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.
