My genre consists of a basic, draft resume I will be revising, finalizing and submitting to
a company called Brand Promotions. This company is an marketing company that provides
services at special events through displays. Brand Promotions solely market/advertise the brands
at the events they are booked for. The company is involved mainly in auto sports and the brands
connected to the sport. The resume genre is the important communication tool between the
potential employer and the potential employee.
