Student Interview- Graduating Arts Student Leslie

Summary:

 

Leslie, a graduating arts student, was very unsure of her resume writing skills. Thought her resume was pretty bad. In the past she has modelled her resume after the Sauder template she received from a friend. She is looking at getting into student affairs when she graduates and is looking for assistance to create a better resume.

She proved Hypotheses 1 and 5 really well, hypotheses 2 well and not hypotheses 3 and 4. What she remembers from her minimum resume creation training is the value of metrics or results in a statement. She was not focussed on efficiency because she hasn’t needed it yet and is very organized.

Interview 1: Graduating Arts Undergrad

This student was in our target market, an arts undergrad student in her final year. She has been heavily involved in student leadership opportunities around campus and has been told by mentors and supervisors that her resume needs work.

In summary she proved Hypotheses 1 and 5 very well, 3 and 4 well and didn’t prove 2 at all.  Her process was creating job applications on word and is now starting to seek outside help but is not very knowledgeable of her options.
