  4. Post one opinion (this may be an original posting, or a reply to someone else's prior posting) on the topic Resume Comparisons. Focus on stating which one is better in your opinion, and justify your reasons. Also, comment on the PERSONAL line on Clifton McDonald's resume, and the ACTIVITIES line on Enrico Gomez's resume. Do you think these are appropriate? If not, why not. Be specific.
  5. Post one opinion (this may be an original posting or a reply) on the topic Application Letter Comparisons. Focus on stating which one is better in your opinion, and justify your reasons. You might consider which one is the most writer-centered (not the best), and which one is the most reader-centered. Which letter motivates you to want to call that person in for an interiew?

NOTE: Treat these replies as a means for creating an ongoing conversation. Ask questions, speculate, etc. I will recap at the end of the discussion.
