College teaches people how to hone skills in everything from biochemistry to philosophy, all in an effort to prepare them for the workforce. But sometimes, the hardest part comes when students have to compile these skills into a sometimes-crucial document for prospective employer use: the resume. Believe it or not, it can be even harder for writers. With people in the sciences and mathematics, some leeway is given when it comes to resumes, since grammar and sentence structure presumably aren’t the applicant’s forte. However, when it comes to writers’ resumes, if you can’t effectively put on paper (in a clear and concise fashion) what your experience and goals reflect, then hiring coordinators will assume that your writing is probably more of the same (even if it isn’t).
