Re: Needed: New job

Some CC for your resume...

- Sign up for another gmail account that is more "professional". Use yourname@gmail for example.

- In your work experience, you don't want to list only what your responsibities were. The first point or two should be an accomplishment. While its not ok to lie, its ok to "exaggerate". For your current job, say something about increasing on-time deliveries by 20%. Do that for every job. Employers can usually tell by the job title what your responsibilities were... but they want to see what sets you apart from the rest.

- Decrease your font size to sum up your resume into one page.

- I would add a simple, concise, one sentence goal at the top. Then list your skills, then employment. School can be at the bottom of the page.

- Change your job titles to sound more important. "Driver" and "Parts Tech" aren't all that great. Pad them up.

- Get rid of the references. If they want them, they will ask for them.
