Can we get a resume help thread?

Just got told by my boss I'm getting laid off for a full-time specialist :\

Here we go:

Also, I smoke weed occasionally to help me sleep, should I wait before I apply to jobs or just dive in and hope to pass a drug test if they give me one?

Drop the interests part, put the skills part above work experience (maybe consider dropping the "computer assembly" point, or at least moving it to the bottom of that section considering it isn't relevant), also use a resume template/layout to make it more presentable

Regarding the weed thing, they won't have you take a test until you have some sort of conditional offer

Opinions about resume formatting are all over the place. I agree with >>1095199 but some people like stuff like the interests section.

Keep in mind your audience. Ask yourself if you were the hiring manager would you care if an applicant was interested in drumming? Tailor your resume to show why you'd be an asset to the company you're targeting

Mmk. I don't care to drop it. Personally I think it's stupid but I was told it makes you more personable especially if the interview can find common interests.

What could I use to fill the space?

If you don't have anything more pertinnent to put there it doesn't hurt anything, it just doesn't really add anything either.

You could have a relevant coursework section but that's pretty weak as well.

I'd remove the business school specific GPA if it's lower than your cumulative. But that's just me

Your interests are shit.

Emphasis you're bilingual, don't hide it at the bottom.

Don't expand on Microsoft office skills, no shit it's .doc and .ppt.

Give specifics and add numbers to your descriptions - you're an accounting Major for fuck's sake.

Would you give me an internship? How do I improve my resume?

I think what he means was it for getting laid or for honors students? Like you can join a honors fraternity in Law School for example sometimes, mainly its only for charity and not for parties.

Space it out bro. I can barely read it. Put the text in a slightly higher font.
Remember, make it nicely organized.

Do you get along well with others?
If so, write that down.

I'm trying to highlight my extensive skills and expertise because of a poor GPA. How would you suggest making more room?
>>
>>1097144
He means like make the font bigger and increase the spacing between lines. Your resume can be more than one page bro.
>>
>>1097205
I thought that was highly frowned upon.

>>1097246
There's a difference between arbitrarily making your sizes bigger to make your resume look bigger and increasing size to better readability.
