Job Resume

[Doobie]

Anyone got any help for a job resume?? I'm making it tomorrow morning and I had a hard time with my last one. Anyone got any experience and can offer me some help?

only advice i can give is, wording is everything. because of that and since i am incredibly bad with grammer in general, i write all my info down and let my wife make my resume for me.


also, any skill you have put it there, even if you feel its not at all related to the kind of jobs you are looking for.

Make your resume look clean, professional, presentable, legible and readable. Don't add glitter.

I keep electronic resumes on my computer just in case i need it.

i would say try to sell yourself on the resume. make yourself look good. being humble is not an option.

Lie. And then point out you were lying, showing how much honesty you have.

I like the cut of your jib, sir.

depends on what type of job you're going for....if it's a casual job, it should fit on one page....a full-time job, maybe try to fit it on two pages....my best advice is just give them the info they want (name, age, driver's licence class (if job entails driving), education, job history/experience, skills/capabilities, hobbies/interests & referees/character witnesses....

as Cyanide said in his, clean & professional & to the point....a lot of time employers see hundreds of resumes, so they only look at the first page & either put it in a "follow up" or "for filing" pile....they will have an idea of what they want (i.e. educational requirements or specific work experience, so they'll quickly go to that), so if you meet some of it, they'll get you in for an interview & that's when you can impress them....

good luck

Make sure and add something about your aspirations, that you're "looking to turn this into a career, excel at your work, and move up in the company". even if it's burger king.
