No kidding. We've been advertising an internship at my work for a few months now. Typical response: student emails us saying that they're interested. Great - fill out the application, send us your resume, cover letter, and two references (like it says in the listing). Then, we never hear from the student again....
LOL... I keep an updated resume with copies of all my education and certs on file at all times, because you just NEVER know when you need to submit one.
Too bad, doing all that resume stuff probably sounds too much llike a real job. Maybe a decent handout is all students need today
Need a weekend job? >.>
but i have no idea what industry you're in, OP.
Artists send in their portfolio so you can judge their skill and creativity. I don't imagine his resume would be as important for a job in his field.
I unfortunately don't have an artistic bone in my body, so I have to be able to write a solid resume.
Somehow this guy has a four year degree in this stuff. I mean from a liberal arts university where you'd think he'd have to write in at least some of his classes, but he can't. That degree would go on a resume. I suspect he has his resumes done professionally (I hope) but if you asked him to write something, you'd think he was stupid.
I get what you are saying. The English major in me would insist on pointing out that writing is communication. At my job the best way to get back to work when confronted by a job seeker is to ask for a resume. Poof, they just disappear.In many liberal arts colleges participation in discussions and seminars is more important than actual assigned essays and reading assignments. There were classmates of mine who never bothered to read any assigned texts, and never completed essays knowing they could bs their way through discussions. I'm not saying that's what your nephew did, since its obvious he has some real talent, I'm just pointing out that most liberal arts schools seem to value communication skills over everything else.
