• provided exceptional customer service by assisting customers in finding products and answering questions about products and promotions.
• maintained a clean and organized store environment, including restocking shelves, setting up displays, and ensuring merchandise was properly tagged and priced.

a. add his email address to the header
b. replace his school name with his personal address in the header
c. rewrite his objective to be more formal without using \i\
d. format his experience section as a paragraph instead of bullet points

Explanation:

• Option a: Adding an email is a standard resume improvement for employer contact.
• Option b: A personal address (or at least location) is more useful than just a school name in the header for employers to reach or assess location fit.
• Option c: Resumes use formal, third-person language, so removing "I" from the objective is a valid improvement.
• Option d: Bullet points are preferred in resume experience sections because they make achievements/responsibilities scannable and clear; formatting as a paragraph would make the content harder to read, so this is not an improvement.

Answer:

d. Format his experience section as a paragraph instead of bullet points
