For this activity, I took my previous resume and had it scored by RezScore. Unfortunately, my resume is in desperate need of love and care; I got a C+. I'm embarrassed to even post this score. RezScore has indicated that my resume is too short and that I need to lengthen the text. The site also informed me that I need to remove the objective section and add a personal headline instead, and too also remove first person language which was in my objective. I am going to make the suggested revisions and hope for a higher score.
WOW! I had to do a great deal of revising. I added a professional headline and lengthened my resume by adding in accomplishments, community involvement, and technology experiences. I also lengthened out my text by adwithin the document and changed the font. After revising my resume three times I finally received an A-. The site indicated that my resume tells the story of my work history, provides enough detail, and communicates my value. I'm satisfied, but I'm still going to improve it for an A+. My re-score results are below.

The revision of my resume goes along with Teaching Standard 4C which is Reflection on Practice. This activity allowed me to examine my own work and find ways to revise it on a professional level. My resume was compared with others and scored. I then had to view templates for other resumes to create mine in a professional manner. A resume is similar to purchasing a car based on it's fabulous features; I'm trying to sell myself by addressing my accomplishments and qualities to an employer. This was a neat activity and extremely helpful in creating a sufficient resume.
