In Week 1 you prepared your resume using Hiration and received feedback from your instructor. This week’s assignment is providing a peer review of a classmate’s resume from the perspective of a potential employer. The Week 3 eReserve Reading at Indeed.com, Resume Critique: Definition and Tips [web article] will assist you in preparing this Assignment. Also explore other research of your own.
Aligned Course Objective: CO-3
Directions
For this assignment complete the following steps (also review the Grading Rubric):
1. If you have not already done so, immediately upload your own finalized Week 1 resume to your Group Locker folder.
2. Your instructor will assign you a classmate’s resume to review for this assignment. When you receive the assignment, download your classmate’s resume from their Group Locker folder.
3. Create criteria using the attached Word template. This is a review checklist or table of five criteria that you will use to prepare your peer review of your classmate’s resume.
· Your criteria must integrate the following and must be constructive, objective, and relevant for reviewing a resume. Include a References page on this Peer Review of at least 2 research sources you utilized in creating your checklist. (One might be the above Indeed.com source, for example.)
· TEMPLATE INSTRUCTIONS –
· Download the template. It will be “read only.” Save it as a new document with your name (e.g. JDoeResume Review).
· The template lays out the structure for your Peer Review including headings. “INSTRUCTIONS” in grayed text tell you what to write in each section.
· PLEASE DO NOT KEEP THE GRAY SHADED INSTRUCTIONS IN YOUR FINAL PAPER! These are to be replaced with your own text providing the required information.
· Guidance: Be a mentor. Review your assigned classmate’s resume based on the criteria you created.
· Your tone should be collegial and sensitive, but provide constructive, relevant feedback, i.e. pros and cons.
· Simply saying “nice job,” “great resume,” etc. is not a review and is not constructive.
· Explain both what is effective and why, and what could be improved and why. Refer to the criteria you chose for your review.
· Consider what you hope to see as feedback on the review of your resume.
4. Access the Group Locker and upload a copy of your completed Peer Review to your classmate’s folder.
5. Submit another copy of your Peer Review to this Assignment for grading AND a copy of the peer’s resume you reviewed.
