[ATTW-L] Teaching the resume

[Rebecca Walton]

Hi Mark,

You might check out Chalice Randazzo's work. She has done important and
interesting research on reflexivity in the process of resume design, gaps
and silences in resumes and cover letters, and other considerations--
almost all of which is positioned in the context of teaching students this
genre.
