In class today we talked about resumes. Links to the OWL sites discussing resumes are posted earlier. Our use of Wysoki + Lynch's criteria for a rhetorical analysis of a sample resume made pretty clear how important audience considerations are for writing a resume. As Yasmin pointed out - there ISN'T going to be one rule for the "right" way to create your resume = it is going to depend on your audience.
Next week we will continue working on your portfolio. Write drafts for an introductory letter and for a personal statement. They may or may not be for the same application. For example, if you want to write an introductory letter for an internship at a law firm, but would also like some help with your personal statement for law school => go for it! Useful links (as discussed in class) are listed below.
Introductory letters
Cover letter = jobs
sample job letter
Cover letter = academic
Personal statements
Good class today = and see you next week. I will get your process essays back to you ASAP.
