Grade Your Resume

We created a resume a while back using Google Docs.  This assignment asked us to grade our resume through RezScore.  This website does not require you to log in.  The first step is to upload a copy of your resume.  The second step is to contact you about your resume.  The third step then grades your resume.  My resume did not upload so I had to copy and paste my resume into RezScore.  I am not sure but I do not think the graphics showed up when I downloaded the document from Google Docs to Microsoft Word.  So I am sure my resume looked a little plain in the RezScore format.  Google Docs allowed to you use a resume with small picture and designs which do not show up in word.  This probably explains why I scored a C on my resume cause it is plain.  This score says it is an average resume.  It scored a 70 for Brevity, 36 for Impact, and 40 for Depth.  It does give you tips for improvement and this site also gives you the option of getting a resume makeover, request a rewrite, to broadcast your resume, and a free resume builder for a fee.  In a tough economy like the US has this is probably a really helpful and great sight for a job seeker to build and post a resume.  This would be a very helpful site for someone who is having trouble finding employment.

This activity of Grading Your Resume relates to ISTE NETS Standards 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5.  All Standards are met with this activity to help encourage someone to use technology to help better their resume to find suitable employment and allow the job seeker to post their resume online for future employers to see.
