Find a sample resume, conduct a brief rhetorical analysis of it, and post it within a PowerPoint presentation. You should use a combination of visuals within the slides and comments within the notes feature (See the two samples below.)
Your analysis should answer the following questions:
1. What is the RHETORICAL SITUATION of your resume? Who is the rhetor, and what can you safely assume about him or her? Who is the audience for the resume, and what brings them to the document in the first place? What is the rhetor's purpose (hint: it's not necessarily always to get a job)? Describe the context/kairos for the resume.
2. Based on the Rhetoric of this Resume (as defined above) describe the type of job you think this rhetor is seeking.
3. What "works" about the resume? Which strategies are particularly effective at helping the rhetor to accomplish their purpose with their intended audience? (Keep in mind that you may not be the intended audience for the document, and so your personal reactions to the resume may be irrelevant to whether it "works" or not.) And, of course, you can't determine the likely success of a document if you don't know what it set out to do in the first place; so review the context/kairos and the document's purpose before making claims about the document's success.
4. What doesn't work about the resume? Which strategies prevent the likely success of the resume? Here it may help to think about what you would do different if you were the rhetor... what would you change, and why?
5. What is your overall assessment of the resume? You might think in terms of whether or not you'd hire this candidate.
