Readings, Week Two

I'm doing this blog post in html- because I'm that cool. :)

This week I read about creating a resume. This was really useful for me, as I'm in the process of applying for a number of summer internships. I've done a lot of interviewing for jobs, but I've never been very good at making a resume. The tips were really helpful- in fact, when I read that it was a mistake to put references on your resume, I immediately removed them. I also really liked the information about online resumes- I wasn't aware that people actually use them.

The thing that concerned me the most about what I read was the role of social media in looking for jobs and in hiring. I don't have anything really inappropriate on my blog or Facebook page, but I don't think I'll be linking them to my resume anytime soon. I'm a firm believer in a separation between school and home.
