Journal #15: 

This project was very eye opening for me and has changed the way that I think about resumes in general. I really enjoyed the conversations we had in class regarding the resume particularly when we compared the resume to a garden. Thinking about the resume in this way has really helped me to open up my mindset and expand my previous understanding of the resume. Before this I always knew that the resume was important but I never really understood why. After doing this project I understand the importance of having a clear and concise resume and the importance of keeping it updated. This project would have been a lot more work for me if I hadn’t previously updated my resume so I am very grateful for that. This experience also taught me alot about the formatting of a resume, something I knew little about before this. My old resume had huge blank wastes of space and now I have consolidated it down to one page of only the most important information with little to no blank space. Overall I’m really happy with the final result of my resume and I’m going to feel a lot better handing this version into future employers although there is always room for improvement.
