In Russia there are a few changes to the typical United States resume. One thing they include is how many languages you know and how many places you have lived. Another area they are interested in was your computer literacy.

In Germany they use CV's.

Title the document "Lebenslauf." Then type the title of the first section (personal information). In this section, include your first and last name, date of birth, marital status, citizen status, address and contact information. Each detail should be listed on its own line.

Title the next section "Schule" (school). In this section, list the schools you attended prior to college, including the location of and dates you attended each school. List schools in chronological order.

Title the next section "Studium" (higher education), and list colleges or universities you have attended.

List your previous job experience in the next section, "Berufserfahrung" (job experience). Include the location of each job, your position, responsibilities and the dates you were employed. Order this section from less recent to most recent.

Prompt #1
I thought this reading was very interesting, especially opening my eyes to some stereotypes that women are associated with. Overall, I'm surprised that she feels so discriminated against. Of course I'm in a 2010 state of mind and this piece was written well before that. I still feel in ways women are still stereotyped as weak, physically. One example that sticks out to me is her example when her mother would move around the furniture without the help of a man. To me this example isn't really that feminist considering I would move around furniture myself only needing help when one person isn't enough. Today women can get the same jobs as men, no matter how physically demanding it is.

Django Paris' work was a very interesting topic, helping me understand the true meaning of literacy. To me literacy is understanding and knowing about a certain topic. So literacy can range from reading to sports. Another interesting point was considering AAL a completely different language, especially when a lot of people just consider it slang. When it comes to me I can understand AAL, so i always considered it just grammatically incorrect English. Now I look at it as a whole new language and if people can understand it, I see no problem in using it. After reading it I would considered everyone in the article literate at AAL.
