It gives you not only the history of resumes but it also tells you about the different changes and improvements that has been conducted along the way. This reading allowed me to find out, that there has actually been a video resume, which is something I would have never know. But since there are face to fece interviews now I'm sure that, that particular resume is no longer in style. Over the years resumes have became shorter and more appealing, which is exactly what employers seek. Hannon, Kerry. "Want An Unbeatable Resume? Read These Tips From A Top Recruiter." Forbes. Forbes Magazine, 24 Apr. 2013. Web. 17 Apr. 2017. This article gives us the basic resume techniques.

This article is strictly for nurses, this is a guide to a successful and professional nursing resume. They tell you everything that should be include, which is more than what the other articles tell you. I didn't know that you should include your availability in a resume, but I will definitely be including that in my resume. This article was very thorough and helpful.

Reflection

As I began this project, I was immediately drawn to the genre to resume. I was so in touch with this, because in a previous class we were discussing resumes and cover leads, while also building our own professional pieces. I just thought that it would be as easy as it was  for me in my other class. Too bad it wasn’t, I had to somehow connect my resume to my major, which is nursing; doesn’t sound too hard right? It only got really tough when it was time for me to create my own professional resume that showed my nursing skills, experiences, certifications, and more. Of course I don’t have nearly all that is actually on my sample piece. So as I talked to my teacher she just said how I could create my resume based upon the necessary documents I would have accumulated five years from now. So that made it a tad bit more easier for me, but as we all know we really don’t know where we will be in five years. As for me I do know I will have all the things listed in my resume, but I couldn’t add more, because I wouldn’t want to brag about all my future endeavors and wonderful experiences I will have. Actually the real reason why I couldn’t add more was because while doing this project I’ve learned a lot on what hospital employers look for, I also learned that your resume should not exceed a page, so I tried being brief. I have to say that my resume looks very nice, so I know that in five years it will look even better, with better certifications, licenses, experiences, skills, and even more education opportunities and work history. So in the end I am happy I stuck to this genre, because it is like a look into my future, and I know I will strive to receive all the things in my new resume.

Conventions

Now that you have a briefing of the history, purpose, and details on who looks at your resume and how they overview it, you can now understand the guide of Nurse’s resumes and how they are different from a resume, that you created when you were applying for your first job, and even before you graduated college. During this process you will understand the required headings that every new-grad nursing resume should include. Every new-grad resume should include the following headings: 1 Summary : Nurses say that objectives are an outdated resume heading that do nothing to advance your main objective of conveying why you’re the right person for the job; Moreover, you can include an objective within a summary. The goal is to make sure your resume can be  easily briefed, starting with your summary. You do not want employers getting stuck or bored by writing a big paragraph. So we use bullet points instead, and try to keep each point at 1 to 2 lines. 2 Licenses and Certifications : Fellow nurses recommend listing each license and certification with the following information: Full name of the license or certification. Full name of the issuing body of the license or certification, with an expiration date of the license or certification if applicable, and your license or certification number if applicable. 3 Education : You should display all of your relevant college education. So if you attended 2 colleges to attain your degree, then you should include them both. Please do not include your high school education. Under this heading should include: The full official name of the education institution, city and state, dates attended, degree achieved, and possibily your GPA if it was good.

4 Clinical Rotations : Clinical Rotations are an extremely important part of your new-grad nursing resume. Details to include about your clinical rotations are: Type of experience including start and end dates, the total number of hours worked, you should also name of the hospital or institution, the city and tate, and  lastly the name of the unit/department.

There are also a few optional headings for your new resume:

1 Work History : If you have work history, which most of us do these days, then you should probably include some reference to it on your resume. 2 Affiliations : When listing your affiliations, consider including the following details: Full name of the organization, the date joined, your position within the organization, special duties, and organization conferences attended.

3 Volunteer Activities : Including Volunteer Activities is a great way to demonstrate compassion. You may have volunteered for charity or at a healthcare facility. Consider including the following details: Full name of the organization, dates of engagement, quantify the number of hours volunteered, description of duties and results you achieved if applicable, and any awards or recognition you received. 4 Honors and Awards : If you have received many or any honors and awards, give them a special place on your resume. While listing them you should do the following: Name or title of the award, the date received, organization received from, and the significance of the award, or reason it was received.

5 Skills Summary : Skills summaries are intended to convey proficiency with specific skills. 6 Languages :  A recent study by Wanted Analytics found that “bilingual” was the second most common skill listed on nursing job postings in the United States.

Each of the following headings should be considered and included based on whether or not you have relevant details to include. You may want to rank them in order of strength as they relate to the job in question.

Introduction

History: It’s been reported that Leonardo da Vinci, who was an Italian Renaissance polymath, drafted the first known resume more than 500 years ago; It wasn’t until the 1940s that the resume transitioned from a mere formality, often scribbled on scrap paper. By the time the first word processors came along in the 1970s, followed by Microsoft Word in 1983, resumes were becoming more professional. The resume was more of a cover letter to the Duke of Milan in the letter, da Vinci cited a numbered list of his qualifications, including his innovative wartime skills, highlighting his considerable qualifications as an inventor of innovative technologies of war. Within a couple of decades, a traveling English Lord offered a handwritten summary of his abilities to new acquaintance and called it his resume. The word Resume originated from French résumé“ meaning to summarize”, and from Latin “resumere” which means to take back.” By the end of the century, a documented list of résumés began to appear in local publications, especially in newspapers and handbills.

Purpose: The purpose of a resume is to basically sell yourself. A resume is a brief summary of your accomplishments, skills, education, abilities, and work history. When writing a resume employers look for great eye catching positive personality traits.It is said that you need to tailor your resume for each position, focus on employer's needs, find skills they look for, and accomplishments that are needed to meet and exceed their requirement.The expectation of creating and having a resume is so that you can either get an interview based off what they have read or get the job based off what they have seen, heard, and read. Some say that a resume is a tool designed to get you to the next step in the employment process which is the interview. Your resume can even help you prepare for that interview by giving you specific items to practice talking about. Think of your resume as your very own 30-second commercial spot. With that thought process maybe, you can catch the hiring manager's attention within the first five seconds of your resume so he or she may keep reading.

Audience: Your audience of every resume is typically an employer. They typically look at your resume for less than 15 seconds before deciding rather or not you are the right candidate for the job. Not all hiring mangers will tell you that they use a resume as a screening tool to select which candidates to interview and which to rule out. But you should already know this. Most hiring managers perform this screening themselves, before the interview, if you submit it online first. A resume provides the employer with his or her very first impression of you.
