Page 96: Critical Thinking Questions

1. The difference in form and content between the model resume and model cover letter is that the resume is a lot easier to read because of the bullet points. Everything is organized into different catagories and are very detailed about the things that they wrote. The cover letter is a lot more professional, but not as organized as the resume. Although, the cover letter is a lot more courteous and more in depth than the resume, because they talk more about the different topics.
2. The resume is divided into six different parts. The first part of the resume is the writers personal information. The second is their objective, or what they want to do. The third is the writers education that they already have. The forth is their activites or skills that may show why they are good for the position. The fifth part is their previous work expierence, which does include volunteering jobs. The final part is their references, which should be placed on a seperate sheet of paper. The cover letter is divided into four different sections. The first section is their address and the date the letter was wrote. The second is the address that you are sending the information to. The third is the body, which should list the same things from the resume, but in paragraph form. The forth section is the closing section, which would be your name.
3. I liked his objective statement statement on the resume, it shows that he is open to different jobs that teach him a variety of things. The role of an objective on a resume shows what kind of job you are looking for, and what you hope to get out of it.
4.Yes, I would invite Thomas for an interview because he meets a fifth grader to help with school, and he is also a big buddy. He also seems like a hard working guy who wants leadership expeerience, and being part of a summer camp for kids would help that.
