Feedback

I thought the feedback I received was very helpful. I find myself to be sort of struggling with the direction I’m going with as my topic of resumes. I also found it kind of difficult to decide what my concentration was going to be. One idea I will use as I continue with my project is to go to the career center to see what they do that the writing center does not or things that they do have in common. The employees at the career center are trained to help students on specific topics such as creating a resume. I’m not sure if there are tutors that are specifically trained to do the same. 

Something many students in class thought would be interesting to know was the background knowledge of the tutors I will be interviewing. I have included that as a question in my interview to know more about their own experiences with professional writing. Someone mentioned maybe speaking to multiple tutors (possibly through a survey) to find out how many tutors have been approached with this particular session. I don’t think I will take this last piece of advice because that doesn’t really help me solve my research question, but maybe I can find out how many people have come in just by looking at client reports online. 

I’m interested to do more research and see what answers I can find. I’m hoping that the interviews don’t contradict each other and help me answer my questions.
