    Reader-Centered Writing

    Lecher #3 Eng201

    Writing Résumé
    a. Defining your Objectives

    Defining objectives is especially important whether you are writing a letter or a job application letter.
    When defining your objectives, you tell what you want your communication to do. Thus your objectives
    form the basis of all your other work at writing.

    In the first stage

    Employers try to attract applications from as many qualified people as possible. At this stage of
    recruiting, resumes are usually read by people who work in a personal office.

    In the second stage of recruiting,

    Employers carefully scrutinize the qualifications of the most promising applicants. Often this involves the
    visit of the candidates to the employer’s work place. The second stage reader of your resume includes
    managers of the department you have to work for.

    To take the reader centered approach, you need to look at three things:

    a. The final result you desire.


    b. The people who will read your communication.
    c. The specific way you want your communication to affect the people as they read your
    communication.

    Deciding how you want your résumés to affect your readers.

    After you have identified the readers, you should determine how your resume will affect them in the job
    that you are seeking. More precisely, you should define how your resume will affect your readers while
    they read it.

    To determine how your resume will affect your reader, you can think about two things:

    • The way you want your communication to alter your reader’s attitude.

    • The task you want to help your readers perform while they read.

    b. Planning

    Planning is a fundamental property of intelligent behavior. An important further meaning, often


    just called "planning", is the legal context of permitted building developments.

    Two type of planning

    The persuasive argument has two elements; a claim and evidence to support your claim.

    Reader-Centered Writing

    Organizing the Material

    When planning a communication, you need to decide not only what you will say but also how you will
    organize your material

    Functional Resume

    Some individuals choose to organize a substantial part of their resume around their accomplishments
    and abilities. Such a resume is called a Functional Resume.

    What is Conventional Resume or non-Conventional Resume?

    If you are writing Conventional Resume you can provide the desired prominence by placing the name
    and professional objectives at the top. If you are designing a Non-Conventional Resume, you may place
    your name along the bottom or side.

    C. drafting
    A profession usually related to making technical drawings for architecture, engineering, or
    manufacturing.

    d. Evaluating and Revising

    Revision literally means to "see again," to look at something from a fresh, critical perspective. Revising is
    an ongoing process of rethinking: reviewing your evidence, refining your purpose.
