Essay Instructions: Resume versus Website: An unusual Comparison

Call me crazy, I tend to like practical sorts of things. This may seem funny since I am trained as a philosopher. People often think of philosophers as esoteric, impractical, ivory tower sorts of people. And, well, in the main, I suppose this is true. But philosophers, at least those in the Anglo-American tradition, tend to put a premium on clarity and practicality in writing. In that vein I present to you an assignment, the likes of which you will never see in another English composition course.

As a vehicle for developing good sentence structure I would ask you to write two very different paragraphs, and then comment on the difference in presentation and sentence structure.

Paragraph One: the Resume Statement

Write a one paragraph resume statement. This is the paragraph that might go at the top of your resume - the paragraph that convinces the human resource officer to take your application seriously. It must be persuasive and run for about five sentences.

Paragraph Two: The Website Summary

You are a web site designer. You need to write the website summary. This is the first thing that a potential customer sees. When your site comes up in a search, a one paragraph statement of your product is presented. Make up a product; it can be anything. Then write the one paragraph statement that would come up when it gets a search hit. It should be at least five sentences.

Once you have written these paragraphs, write another paragraph explaining the difference in the sentences you used. In each paragraph you need to persuade. Did you use the same kind of sentences to persuade - in terms of length, language, style?

EXPECTATIONS:

Make some observations on how you approached the writing of each paragraph.
