Peer critique reflection.
A suggestion I accepted from the per critiques is making the resume more consistent. Issues regarding the listing of dates, descriptions, and verb consistency were a little off in the old resume, and this needed correcting. Therefore, I opted to have all the verbs in the same tense and ensured describing everything clearly and concisely. Additionally, I made sure the date formats were similar throughout the resume. With this, the work is now more consistent and clearer to anyone reading it. Another suggestion I accepted was the suggestion that the letter’s format should be in a professional business full block letter format. The original work was in an unorthodox and required correction. However, I did not accept the suggestion that the resume had longwindedness. The work was brief and straight to the point and no unnecessary language was used.
What I learned from critiquing other peer documents was that the most important thing is to ensure proper formatting is followed and the use of clear language with brief sentences. I would recommend this practice to other students and colleagues as it assists those involved improve the quality of their work. Once a peer or colleague reviews your work, they are likely to notice a mistake you made that you did not personally notice. Additionally, they are likely to genuinely tell you where the issues are arising without any malice or ill intent. Helping each other via peer reviewing will also help in team building as the teamwork amongst the team members will improve. Therefore, I would fully recommend this exercise to everyone willing to take part in it and help each other grow.
