Emily's Developmental Resume

Hey Tom, 

I completed my developmental resume.  I hope this is what you are looking for.  I added an analysis part to explain the facts in more detail.

My name is Emily Wiedeman.  I just turned 23.  I received my Associate’s of Art degree from Mt. Hood Community College in December 2011, and I will be graduating from Portland State University (PSU) with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Human Resources Management in December 2014. 

Analysis:  I attend(ed) school that is relatively close to home because of financial reasons.  I chose to attend PSU because their business school has a good reputation, and my sister received her degree in Marketing from PSU.  I basically followed in my sister’s footsteps (going to Mt. Hood Community College then to PSU).

In addition to attending school, I also work at WinCo in the Bakery department.  I have worked there for about 3.5 years (since Sept. 2010).  I also worked at KMART during my last year of high school and my first year of college (September 2008—September 2010).

Analysis:  I have a strong sense of work ethic.  I am able to balance working and attending school full time.  In addition it shows that I have a drive to educate myself.  I have paid for half of my entire college tuition (while attending!)

  I also volunteered at Legacy Mt. Hood Hospital for a year (July 2008—July 2009). 

Analysis:  I took my original passion of learning about health care and furthered my capacity of knowledge by volunteering my own time.  I was juggling working and attending my last year of high school during the time I volunteered at the Hospital.

As I close in on my final two terms at PSU, I have been perfecting my resume and applying for full-time, and paid HR internships during the summer. 

Analysis:  I put a lot of time and effort into developing the most accurate and positive image of myself (resume).  I care about creating a positive business reputation about myself.  In relation to my volunteer experience, I have a desire to gain more knowledge about a subject that grasps my interests.

I applied for PSU’s mentor program in December and have just recently been paired with my mentor.  She has looked over my resume and asked me mock interview questions (as if I was at an interview for one of the internships I have applied for).
