November Mentor Meeting

In my November Mentor meeting with Dr. Felan I asked him about tips to make a resume. His response was "That because we ask teenagers to have a 1 page resume its kind of difficult to give any tips on how to improve them but obviously as you get older always make sure that you don't put too much on there". He also mentioned to me that he really hasn't used his resume other than when he's worked outside of education stating "By the time you have a PhD people assume that you know what you want to do and the title itself does most of the work on job applications". However he did tell me to make sure that whatever I do to make sure that my resume stays updated. I agree with him on that note because what is the point of saying that you have a basic understanding of a foreign language when that is no longer the case, or giving the wrong contact information means that chances are you will not receive the job as the employer cannot properly contact you. Obviously these things are very situational but doesn't mean that it does occur on a regular basis around the world, wherever it may be.
