RezScore -- Grade Your Resume

RezScore -- Grade Your Resume
 I thought my resume was pretty good, until I used rezscore tool to evaluate it.  Now I am not to sure.
Addressing the the tips section: One comment it that it was too short, I thought resumes were suppose to be short. The second tip was that I needed to remove the objective section and try a professional headline instead. OK, I can agree with that. I could have taken more time developing this area.  The review also mentioned that I didn't include references. I didn't include references cause I thought that would be a separate page. The last comment stated not to use first person, what am I suppose to use third person? I am not sure?
I completely don't agree with the job matches at all. The website recommended that I apply for Director of Product Development for OSHA. I am not even sure what that means! The other job suggestion was to apply for Registration Specialist at WVU Hospital. Seriously, that doesn't make any sense either. I have been a preschool teacher for 13 years, why would I apply to any of these jobs. I have no experience with either of the jobs that they recommend. My objective states that I am looking for a job as an Full-time Faculty position.

The review stated that my strongest in the areas of education, non-profit and health. I understand education cause, I have been in school for 30 years! lol Non-profit, well I am a teacher and I don't do it for the money! You can measure know you in still in others, hugs & kisses! Health, I think cause I am certificated in CPR & First, posses a food handler's card and I teach Health and Safety.

I think this is a good program to help people rethink their resume before applying for a job, but I don't agree with all the outcomes. I will redo some parts of my resume that it suggests. I will also pass the website on to co-workers and friends, cause it can be helpful!
