Resumes!

Use the framework from Wysoki & Lynch to evaluate your resume
1. What is your purpose?  What are you communicating?  What do you want to achieve?
2. What will your audience be expecting?  How can you turn those expectations to your advantage?
3. How will the place & time of the communication affect its outcome?
4.  What are the strategies that will help you achieve your ends?
5.  What do audiences tend to expect about this genre/medium?  Can you choose a different medium?
6.  How will your audience respond to the organization?  Is there a better organization?
7.  Test!

Try the 20 second test
The quadrant test
Look at your use of headings + fonts
