1. When developing my resume, I pretty much knew what I was good at and what qualities would make me attractive to a future employer. I just tried to group them together in a concise manner that would not be longer than one page after I included my education section. I tried to include qualities that would be essential to the specific job I was applying to, which was an internship position in the psychiatric ward of Mather Hospital. I did this to make my resume more job-specific as opposed to general.
2. If I had more time to develop this resume, I would make what I said when I was describing myself more eloquent, as opposed to listing all of my best qualities. I would want the reader to have a clear understanding of me as a worker and person rather than get bored at a list of good qualities that they have heard from multiple people. I would have also been more specific as to what value I have gained from each school in the education section. I was also hesitant when it came to posting my high school and college GPA’s, considering they are something I would like to include. I just decided not to at the last second because I thought it would have been a bit too arrogant for an internship position.
3. The most value I found when writing my resume was probably realizing that all of the small things I have done over the past few years haven’t just been for spending money or acquiring credits to transfer. The things I have done have accumulated into experience that I can use when finding actual jobs in the future. It gave me a strong sense of purpose, like I’ve actually been getting somewhere without even thinking about it, and I think that is what is most important.
