  1. Hello Pennee,

    Your vita looks very complete and thorough. The formatting seems to have changed perhaps, when you posted, particularly in the Education section. Additionally, you might revisit the number of bullets under each job experience, as the textbook recommended two to six bullents in some categories.

    Otherwise, your Vita seems to encapsulate your educational and career experiences quite well.

    Thanks for sharing,

    Alma

  2. Pennee,

    Very impressive vita! Your current position shows all of your responsibilities in the present tense, which I certainly understand. The text, however, recommended putting everything in the past tense. Also, I agree with Alma, there are places where it feels like bullet-point overload.

    Thanks for sharing,

    Dale
