to view January’s Resume and
then read Alexis Reed's Resume Critique below

I give this resume and cover letter three gavels and would give it
more if the candidate decreased the amount of unnecessary verbiage
in both documents.

In regard to the resume, most employers find concrete examples of


experience persuasive. However, an employer has to sift through this
resume to find the "experience gems," and this candidate is doing
her/himself a disservice. I would recommend reformatting this
resume so that it includes clearly defined bullet-points of experience.
Each bullet-point should include a single, well-thought and detailed
example of this candidate's experience.

My same critique applies to the "SKILLS" section of the resume.


Important information, such as this candidate's WPM score, is lost
within the wordy paragraph. In order to more persuasively display
her myriad of skills, this candidate should consider using bullet
points and a series of two to three columns. The columns will help to
ensure that this section of her resume does not waste space.

I also would encourage this candidate to further describe the


education section of the resume. While I can infer from the term
"ongoing" that this candidate has not yet received the program degree
or certificate, I want to know when she started the program, what
level she has reached, and which courses she has already taken.
Lastly, I always encourage candidates to carefully proofread their
resumes, even asking a friend or trusted advisor to do the same.
There is a typographical error in almost the first line of this resume -
the space between the S and E in SECRETARY. Some employers
will see this error and immediately stop reading a resume. Further, an
error in a resume implies that a candidate lacks attention to detail -
something you never want to mistakenly convey in the legal industry!
