Resume Revisited

Using a free web-based program, RezScore, I had my current (and recently posted) resume evaluated. My resume received a C- as a score.

The results from RezScore said that instead of making use of an objectives section, I should instead try using a professional headline. Currently, I am a full-time student and full-time mom, so I am not sure I have earned a striking professional headline yet. Maybe one day once I get out of school and into the workforce, I can include a position title or something, but for now, my prospective objectives section is all I can see as fitting for the time being.

The second suggestion form RezScore said that I should not use 1st person language in my resume. After rereading my resume, I noticed I only did that in my objectives section. I should either just delete the objectives part as they suggested earlier, or just change a few words to make it more coherent with the rest of the resume.

The third suggestion doesn't really apply at the moment. The third suggestion was for me to include my current work experience which I don't currently have. I am a student, and in the education section I informed the reader that my education experience is current and provided an expected date of graduation.

RezScore said that my resume was strongest in the Education Industry and rated it 65% towards Education, 30% towards non-profit, and 5% towards customer serviced.

For brevity I received a 75 out of 100, for impact I received a 75 out of 100, and for depth I received a 99 out of 100, resulting in a C- for my overall resume score.
