 High school students are taught how to use resumes and cover letters to highlight their skills and make them stand out, whether applying to college or for a job.

 Function: The function of a resume is to inform the audience about you in order to accomplish something. What you’re trying to accomplish depends on what you’re trying to do. This might include getting a job, getting into college, winning a scholarship, or being selected for an internship. There are many reasons to show people your resume.

 Form: Resumes need to look a certain way. This is considered their form. People who read resumes expect them to include specific information, such as your name, address, contact information, education, past jobs, volunteer experience, and special skills. If a resume does not look like a traditional resume, the reader may be confused and think the writer is not educated about writing proper resumes.

 (e)Ffectiveness: For a resume to be effective, it must demonstrate your knowledge of both function and form. An effective resume - Has a clear purpose that shows why you are writing it - Is visually appropriate and appealing, or easy to read - Includes all the necessary information about the writer - Is grammatically correct with no errors in punctuation or spelling

 The audience refers to anyone who will review the resume, so we must consider all audiences, both primary and secondary.  The purpose refers to why the audience is looking at the resume and what they will be looking for, so we must ask ourselves what they want to read.  C:\Users\kstanley\Desktop\Visualize Resume Graphic Organizer.pdf C:\Users\kstanley\Desktop\Visualize Resume Graphic Organizer.pdf
