There is no contact information, and your name is stupid.

How are people supposed to call you back if you don't give them a phone number Name Name?

First of all, are you networking with the companies you apply for? Your resume is definitely not going to grab any attention bro. And your only real shot at even getting an interview is if you know somebody somewhere that has never seen it. I hope you're pretty fucking excellent at microsoft excel if youre going to mention it 3 times. A skills and interests section only means you lack experience that you would otherwise state. Unless your GPA is absolute garbage, someone reading your resume is going to assume that it is if you dont put it on there. Find a list of action verbs and start every line on your resume with one of those. If youre looking for a finance role put a hell of a lot more emphasis on items that are related to that. Last, nobody gives a shit if youre proficient in social media, so is my grandmother.

>>1226679
Also I'm guessing that if you are graduating in 2018 youre a sophomore. Don't stress getting an internship this year anon, most are reserved for juniors or older in the first place. Focus on getting involved in something you can put on your resume in the meantime. join a professional organization or study abroad or find a part time job this summer. do anything thats gonna fill all the white space you have in your resume

>>1226624
>>1226624
your format isn't very good. this type of format is better: http://www.clarkson.edu/writingcenter/senior_CS_resume.html

you might say "i don't have enough stuff to fill that type of format". well, get more. do clubs or personal investing or get a part time job. something.

also, seven bullets with no actual data is horseshit for your first experience listing. you're a student, i expect this company is BS unless you show me data to the contrary. use numbers, not buzzwords.

if you've only applied for 20 in the last 4 months, that ain't shit. chances are that a lot of your apps went into companies that were hella selective or were not really looking for applicants any more.

come back when you've applied for 200 jobs, not 20. oh, and start applying for jobs earlier next year.

>>1226624
>resume says: pilot, photographer, mechanic, social media, graphic design
>Hurr durr why do ya think I didn't get this wealth management job?
Well, for starters, Quickbooks isn't a "filing ststem", it's double entry accounting software.

>>1226683
How important is leadership roles in student organisations anyway? I have never had an interest in being a 'leader' for a shitty student club or anything, but I also don't want to become a manager. Most of the leaders do nothing anyway, and only host events such as pub nights or random meetings, which I believe add no value to a person.

>>1226738
>>1226683
Even worse, I know of two classmates that started an Accounting & Finance club last semester, and created a logo and facebook group and all that, and then not host a single thing, not even a general meeting for the members. Yes, it looks a bit prestigious for potential employers to see that you're the president of a finance society, but it's basically a ghost title.

>>1226742
>>1226738
I'd say the leadership positions in student organizations are much more about the initiative and effort involved than it is about the work experience you gain. Also, employers can only believe you so much when you talk about how great you are, but if your peers are willing to elect you to certain positions, they do some of the talking for you. Organizations are big for networking and gaining social skills.

And listen, I was at least somewhat constructive with the resume advice but your attitude is what is going to keep you from ever finding a job. You can either join something and fill some of the blank space on your resume or you can sit in your dorm room alone on saturday nights wondering why the guys in the shitty organization on a bar crawl have job offers when you dont.

> Looking for an HR job

>>1226933
I'm OP not that guy. Thanks for the criticism guys. I currently trade with Robinhood and I'm really interested in finance, but as you guys have pointed out, most of my experience is in other fields no where close to finance.

I've talked with a classmate and we're going to try and open a Finance club on campus, which I think will let the potential employer know that although I don't have much experience in finance, the interest is there.

>>1226694
Currently changing the format to something better. Thanks for the advice

Also going on the company being BS, while I agree it wasn't a huge company, I did manage to sell 200 units totaling to a bit over $30,000. Given that's some of my only experience, I thought it was at least noteworthy.

>>1226715
This is one of my biggest problems currently. I have experience elsewhere, but none in finance. I'm trying to pull things from my experience that may connect with finance however, its more difficult than it sounds.

Thanks for all the advice guys, much appreciated.

>>1226951

selling $30,000 sounds a hell of a lot better than "200 units". for all i know, you could be selling fucking pine scented air fresheners for $2 a pop. citing specific data (or as specific as you can so we still know you're real) is vital.

OP, what type of school you at? like community, state, private, or top tier?

>>1226974

If you're serious about the finance organization look into starting a student run investment fund. If you get a competent professor to advise the org, you have a good chance of getting a grant from your college to get you up and running. I'm at a very poorly funded university but the investment fund but a couple of jackasses and a decent professor were able to get a legitimate operation going with a pretty small sum of money. Something like that is gonna give you some awesome experience and being the one who got the organization going will look stellar.

As a fellow finance guy about to graduate with an awesome job I somehow weaseled myself into. I wish you the best of luck and can only hope the same for you.

>>1226624
Because probably the only companies you've been applying for were Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, and the like.

>>1226984
Thats pretty subjective and all about how you swing it. It would really come down to the job you're applying for and the relevance of either to that job.

In my personal experience, when I interviewed pre summer internship, the only part time work I had listed was never discussed and interviewers wanted to know more about the organizations I was in. Post internship, I had an interviewer straight up tell me to take it off of my resume.

I do know for a fact though that if you score an interview for an internship or a starting job out of college you're likely as qualified as you need to be. At that point getting the job will come down to how likable you are and how well you can hold a conversation.

>>1226980
Get that GPA on there to decimal places nigga. why would you hide that?

>>1226980
that's pretty good, but not going to get you in by itself. gpa is good enough for you to put it on there, though.

when it comes to finance, it's all about knowing people. you still need to meet bars with being competent, but what gets you an interview is knowing people. then the thing that gets you through an interview is being smart and likable.

if you haven't started getting involved with financial organizations on campus, or professors who know people in industry or something, you should definitely do that. recommendations from peers or acquaintances pushes you through the process like nothing else.

also, starting this finance club that everyone's talking about would be a pretty good idea. it'll probably get you a lot of good experience and connections, so long as you are good at reaching out to people.

Leave it off. 90% of the resumes I look at do not have GPA. Most managers won't even ask for it, they know good grades do not translate to actual experience. Once you're a couple years out of college, nobody puts GPA on their resume anymore, they've learned better.

Absolutely not true. Any company that receives a large number of applicants, send their resumes through an automated screening that will pick out relevant information such as major, grad date and GPA and will automatically remove the candidates that don't qualify and the ones with the worst grades just to simply make sifting the number of resumes easier for a hiring manager.

and when you don't have a ton of work experience yet like most internship applicants, your GPA is a reflection of your work ethic and essentially is your experience.

dont listen to this guy. even if he is right, whats the harm in being the 10% of applicants who does put GPA on their resume. its not negatively impacting it by any means

Note that the automated screening often includes an automated background check.

If you keep being turned down for jobs, you might have something in your records. Maybe someone was working under a made-up SSN, and was fired for being drunk on a job site?

Send in this form, and once a year, you can get a copy of what Equifax is telling people about your work history: https://www.theworknumber.com/Employees/DataReport/report_request.pdf

>>1226624
For starters, you need to make 2 resumes.

1 for someone who actually gives a rats ass about your capabilities in the job function.

1 for companies that have anyone with "H.R." in their title.

First one, focus on experience.

Second one, juice it up with hyperbole, bullshit, and whatever else you want because H.R. is reading your application and they don't have a fucking clue what your job requirements are, they'll care more about maintaining a $1,000 certification than your ability to perform your job.

This is only slightly related, but I've been offered a position starting in 4 weeks. It has been confirmed via both telephone and email. I still have some other interviews coming up in the meantime, should I attend or decline them?

The job I've been offered is by far the best, so it's unlikely anyone would propose me a better deal, I just wonder whether I can take granted job I've been confirmed?

>>1228320
Interview anyway. Maybe they'll offer you a job paying higher so you can use it as leverage. Or worst case scenario you have a backup

>>1228320
Thanks, the backup thing is sure good, although the money isn't an issue - my interview tomorrow is for a 3 months project work, the one I've been accepted to is a 1 year internship (both at good firms), so the latter is definitely a better deal.

Google "resume+templates" and choose a template to reformat the resume.
Less is more. Remove anything that's redundant or repetitious.
Do not use two columns.
Do not use dotted lines
Do not center justify, use left justify, instead
Do not use "-ing" form of verb. Input instead of inputting. Talk instead of talking.
Do not write "Duties" - it's redundant
Do not capitalize the Public (under Surveyor)
Do not say "actually listening to people's opinions" -- that whole section needs rewrite.
Delete the entire "About Me" section and replace with Objective Statement
The objective statement should be clear and concise and list 3 things:
1. Job Type (ie., Accountant, Electrical Engineer)
2. Industry (i.e., Retail, Banking, Insurance)
3. Geography (i.e., Pacific Northwest, Oregon, Portland metro area)
Examples:
>Seeking an entry level staff accountant position with a public accounting firm in Texas.
>Seeking an entry level management trainee position with a large retailer in the New York City metropolitan area.
>Seeking an entry level reporter position with a major news daily. Open to relocation and will pay own re-location expenses.

>It’s perfectly okay to specify that you have a clearance, as well as clearance type.

A screenshot off your phone is not suitable.
You need to professionally format your resume. I suggest you google "resume+template" to find a template for MS Word or whatever program you use, and then rewrite the whole resume from scratch because it currently looks like you put very little effort into it.

RE: HR or Data Analyst job
Important, you need an objective statement at the top.
The objective statement should be clear and concise and list 3 things:
1. Job Type (ie., Accountant, Electrical Engineer)
2. Industry (i.e., Retail, Banking, Insurance)
3. Geography (i.e., Pacific Northwest, Oregon, Portland metro area)

In most cases being the 'leader' of a student club is retarded - almost every student club i've been a part of has just been a social/lets get drunk club with very little actual value, and i've seen two individual cases where the president has typically been a figurehead for the hard work of the other committee members - doing nothing themselves but getting all the credit. An unfortunate circumstance. Regardless because employers desire it, you will want to be a committee member in some capacity, and if you can start your own ''club" and make yourself president and then just make a facebook page and linkedin page and get some likes etc. to give it legitimacy they probably wont know any better,

Work on the format, first. Then tackle the content after format is complete.
suggestions:
- google "free+resume+template" and choose a template without horizontal line separators.
- discard all of your bullet points. we'll add a few back after reformat.
- remove high school information, it's irrelevant because you're in college.
- don't abbreviate, discard all the (PT) (FT) and (Contract)
- don't double space between lines.
- increase font size
- ADD margins - there should be lots of white space on both sides.

I'm fancy and created my resume with InDesign.

...and can't find a job with it. Attached as a PNG but usually send it in PDF format (aka you can zoom into it and it won't pixelate to crap, sorry in advance). I have a feeling it's because:

1. experience is all over the place
2. im not just using a word doc like a normal person. I'm suspecting resume bots are scanning out my applications because they can't read pdfs as easily as docs (true? untrue?)

All I wanna do is get paid a living wage to operate a camera in NYC, man. You'd think working for the largest camera company in the world would help my prospects.

Canon should be the focus point of the resume, both visually and in content. I once saw someone in a commercial say to her contractor, "I want you to build me a house around this water faucet." That's what I want: I want you to build me a resume around a job at CANON.

Format: scrap the artsy-fartsy design and go with a traditional resume format.

Forget PDF file: distribute as a MS Word DOC, instead. Make sure you set to "READ ONLY" to preserve the formatting and remove all the red and green lines from spell/grammar checks.

I still don't see an Objective Statement.
That should be the very first line of your resume underneath your contact info because it's the most important. It tells potential employers exactly what they need to know, specifically, who you are (job type) and where you want to work (industry and geographic location).

>>1234115
I used to have one but took it out for a longer summary to fit in more buzzwords to make it through the first computer pass and get to an actual HR or management person.

that's all it was

Format is terrific. You need to flesh out the computer stuff. That means you have to expand and elaborate because right now the work experience is lacking.
I want you to write an Objective Statement.

Remember, Less is More!

Remove anything else on the resume not related to the job you're seeking.
Don't be concerned about taking away too much, we can always add stuff back or replace with better.

>>1234128
>Entry level resume objective statements need to be clear and concise. If you can’t figure out what job you want, then how can you expect a stranger to match you up with the appropriate position? Some candidates mistakenly believe that recruiters have all of the time in the world to infer from a one page document what position would be best suited to an applicant and vice versa. Wrong. Recruiters typically spend about 10 seconds scanning a resume. If they can’t immediately tell what position you are applying to and whether you appear to be headed, then your resume will be headed for the round file (the trash).

>Your objective statement has to clearly and concisely indicate the following:
>1. Job Type (ie., Accountant, Electrical Engineer)
>2. Industry (i.e., Retail, Banking, Insurance)
>3. Geography (i.e., Pacific Northwest, Oregon, Portland metro area)

>some examples of well written entry level resume objective statements:
>Seeking an entry level staff accountant position with a public accounting firm in Texas.
>Seeking an entry level management trainee position with a large retailer in the New York City metropolitan area.
>Seeking an entry level reporter position with a major news daily. Open to relocation and will pay own re-location expenses.

I don't really know how to format it on my resume.

For example,

Like I was appointed by my department's manager (my bosses' boss) to do quality assurance for my team.

Left to start school (Still am in school).

A higher up contacted me that they needed people to help set up a new contract they acquired (They won rights to a state/acquired a company). So I worked there for another 6 months, but not doing quality assurance or anything like that.

I'll post my resume later when I'm done updating it since I'm looking for a second job that I can sit on ass all day help out when needed and study/do side projects/relax at.

>>1234237
>joined--left for school--returned--left again
Consider the time you were in school as unpaid leave from a job you never officially left. You don't need to say you left the job to start school -- it was an extended period of unpaid leave, or perhaps you might even have been part time while in school. I hope this makes sense.

>>1234094

Well, that is more something I would explain in an interview as I have before. I have a 100% interview success rate somehow...

>>1234298
For dates, use 3 letter abbreviations for the months.
Third job down, I would change dates to Oct 2011 - Nov 2014. If you insist on showing the one year leave, then put the older dates below the more recent.

Here's a way to tweak the name of community colleges to make it sound much more prestigious on your resume -- change the name to state university. Totally legit because they're funded by the state.
Example: instead of Nassau Community College in NY, you would rewrite as State University of New York, Nassau Campus.

>>1234343

Thanks, I'm in a program to transfer to my state university. The courses are exactly the same as the ones someone paying out the ass at university would pay, except I just go through my CC. I'd feel sketchy listing I attend the university though.

Wouldn't a background check/employment history search thing bring up that I had a 1 year gap at the company?

All my contacts/high level co-workers there have moved onto different companies making 3x as much as they did before.

>>1234353
it's not really as big a deal as you made it seem.. plenty of people take a semester or two off from work to concentrate on school, or vice versa. absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.
Employment verification usually consists of your date of hire, last date of employment, job position, and sometimes includes salary but not always.

>>1234370

I am hoping to stay my current company for a while, after doing say a year or two here, would people in bother verifying my employment for my first job where a majority of my experience is?

At my new job, one of the people I started with is a fresh law school grad and says I make him look bad because I know so much about the industry/the systems we use. (I pretty much am doing difficult work and assisting the other new hires figure out how to do stuff). Only thing I lack is an out-going personality which I'm being outshined by a guy who is extremely out-going.

>>1234389
It's very likely it wouldn't even be verified now, unless you're applying for government or law enforcement. But the private sector doesn't squander time and money verifying employment for an old job when you've had two other jobs since then. The logic being that since you've been hired twice since then, if there were something negative about you, they would have caught it and you wouldn't have been hired where you are now. Make sense?

That's not a real word, anon. I want to help you, so don't get offended by this question, Is English your second language? I see all sorts of errors: spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, run-on sentences and the list goes on.
Let's put aside the language and move onto the content; the very first item on your resume says "customer who was hit by large falling debris in store." How in the hell did you think that was the appropriate way to introduce yourself on your resume?
Do you want potential employers to wonder WTF did I just read?

>>1235404

"Maintained a repeat customer who was hit by debris in store"

I think he meant retained a customer...Anyway, that should be something you bring up in an interview if it comes up. Although, they should explain HOW they retained the customer.

HR in the company I currently work for, which has been a long damn time, hasn't even gotten back to me. Makes sense I guess, they just went through a huge merger. Doubt they are hiring to be honest.

Swap Education with Experience. You have 7 years on the job, you should be highlighting that fact by making it prominent and the first item on your resume.

1. Get rid of the faggy art fonts, use a traditional font so you're resume doesn't get kicked by automatic scanners.
2. Delete all line separators
3. Increase your left margin to at least an inch and a half.
4. Make everything left justified - don't indent the jobs under Experience.
5. Use 3 letter abbreviations for the months instead of numbers and forward slash
6. Don't list every component of MS Office, people roll their eyes when they see that shit on resumes
7. Change Technical Skills to just Skills
8. Remove foreign languages. Rule of thumb is to never include a language unless you can either read, write, or speak it fluently.
9. Careful not to repeat action verbs, example, first two bullets under scooter = "Designed"

What is considered an "accomplishment" by the way?

First job was my dankest professional experience. Had autistic levels of attention to detail and knowledge of like 8 different health plans and their configurations to the point I got put into quality assurance/auditing of my team.

Anything else I did was just standard to the job...

My 2nd job doing claims resolutions was an absolute shit show that I left because there was so many internal issues and compliance violations. Company was contracted by veteran affairs by the way. My manager and co-workers were all girls and would constantly get in fights with each other, make fun of people's appearances, etc. Didn't really accomplish anything other than get one letter of recommendation sent to my supervisor by an eccentric physician who said I was the only helpful person at the company, which she discarded and made fun of the physician because everyone else has been having issues with them...

>>1235940
Accomplishments are something that explains how you performed, not just what your job was.
On your resume, get rid of any lines that sound like “managed email list” and replace them with lines like “increased email subscribers by 20 percent in six months.”

>>1235954

I-I don't handle customer service/sales/marketing or anything like that.

In healthcare the top executives bid for contracts/rights to states to manage the health plans. There is also different sectors of health insurance...like commercial and government. I was in the government side handling medicaid and medicare. I would have no idea the exact metrics of the work I did was because it was just a constant stream. All I know is that I'd set up at least 150 records a week and on top of that update records (like a provider has left a group/wants to be set up on a different contract/changing address/had their medical license terminated/needs their contracts added/terminated retroactively). All kinds of shit.

Massive improvement over your last version. I like the direction you took this time by focusing on sales instead of fitness. Clearly you put a lot of effort into this resume and it shows because I remember the prior version was completely inferior in every aspect.
My next step would be to call local headhunters, tell them you're new to the LA job market and ask if they could go over your resume and provide any constructive criticism.
Meanwhile, you should customize a cover letter template and rehearse your interview skills.

For starters, you should have an Objective Statement.

Don't write about yourself in the 3d person; calling yourself "he" is incorrect, you can't do that.

Headings should either be underline or bold, not both.
Left justify everything under Education, don't indent.
Left margin should be minimum one inch
Objective should be something closer to "seeking entry level HR position in the Omaha area" -- leave out the fluff about research and detail oriented skills
Don't say "elementary Spanish", you must indicate whether you can read, write, or speak fluent Spanish. And if you're not fluent, discard it and don't mention at all.
This version is an improvement, you still need to work on the formatting

>>1236645
see explanation here:
>>1234164
Less is More, that's the rule when it comes to resumes. Go through your resume and discard anything that isn't relevant to the job your seeking right now. For instance, I don't want to see that you took summer course in psychology back in 2011. That shouldn't be on there. What you did age 10 shouldn't be on there. Writing and public speaking should not be on there. You must edit out anything that's not relevant to the specific job you want.

>>1236668
In that case wouldn't the objective statement be irrelevant when I'm applying to the the job directly and not depending on head hunters? I mean I'm already including a cover letter as well, that is focused on the employer and job position specifically... So it seems kind of superfluous to keep hammering the point home, considering the very limited real estate on one page

What can I do if I'm a pleb who has little work experience (literally cashier and event promoter) and is only in second year of econ/commerce?

>>1236675
>Entry Level Resume Objective Statement
>Many employers will ignore the entry level job seeker who fails to include a specific objective statement at the top of their resume.
>Let’s start by talking about entry level resume objective statements that are poorly written and move onto well written entry level resume objective statements. Far too many entry level job seekers write that they are “seeking a position with a growing organization that will allow me to use my talents and skills.” Well, who isn’t seeking that type of a position? Who wants to work with a failing organization that refuses to use your talents and skills?
>Entry level resume objective statements need to be clear and concise. If you can’t figure out what job you want, then how can you expect a stranger to match you up with the appropriate position? Some candidates mistakenly believe that recruiters have all of the time in the world to infer from a one page document what position would be best suited to an applicant and vice versa. Wrong. Recruiters typically spend about 10 seconds scanning a resume. If they can’t immediately tell what position you are applying to and whether you appear to be headed, then your resume will be headed for the round file (the trash).
>Your objective statement has to be clear and concise. If someone told you not to use an objective statement because it is too limiting, that person is not connected with the entry level job market. You must be specific and directed. Period.

> Entry level resume objective statements should clearly and concisely indicate the following:
>Job Type (ie., Accountant, Electrical Engineer)
>Industry (i.e., Retail, Banking, Insurance)
>Geography (i.e., Pacific Northwest, Oregon, Portland metro area)

>>1236708
Yes, thank you, I read it the first time around. Having said this, is the objective statement not irrelevant considering I'm sending it BECAUSE I'm applying to a specific job, and I'm already sending a cover letter explaining why I'm applying to said job?

>>1227533
>Once you're a couple years out of college, nobody puts GPA on their resume anymore, they've learned better

And they also have more actual work experience and references they can point to. When you don't have that stuff because you're still a student, you include GPA to show you weren't doing coke at a frat party the whole time and actually learned something.

>>1236716
>your resume might get separated from your cover letter

I'm seeing a great improvement from the old version.
I still want to see an Objective Statement first line on top of education. I'm concerned employers might have a hard time matching you with a job because your experience is so diverse.

One thing that really bothers me on the resume is the title Laundromat Attendant. It doesn't sound prestigious, and frankly, it not even in the same category as all of your other jobs, e.g., manager, tutor, tax prep, computer tech.
Perhaps we could change it to General Manager or, even better, Operations Supervisor. According to google, "Operations supervisors are the backbone of any organization." So let's go with that choice.

Change "Supervised the laundromat as the sole employee on duty" to "Managed all phases of daily operation and staff supervision." (You don't have to mention that it was a staff of one, wink wink)

In what world is a fresh grad not being irrelevant with a second page? My resume was just 4-5 lines of relevant experience and 6 bullet points about school and things that are interesting about me. I got a job right out of college, and even when my resume was a very brief summary condensed to a page of small text, I never in my life have had someone actually read my resume before the interview.

HR always scans for key words/phrases. if you know what they should be that's fine, but your chances are smaller if you have more to scan over and you don't. You could honestly get away with just (key phrase) + (years of experience) and get a phone call every time if it fits. Managers often want to see reliability so things like playing sports or being in a club or some shit are way more important than anything "relevant" you could ramble on about in a fucking resume.

The biggest problem is that unless you are extremely good with language, you have a much higher chance of fucking your shit up by adding more to a resume. You're supposed to give them enough to reveal that you're qualified, but then have a dialogue with the guy that is more personal and prepared by reading up on the company's culture or whatever. When it's really competitive you end up making all these specific cover letters for each position, but again you could get dropped for the smallest detail so you want to limit what you spill on the page. At least in the interview you have a chance to explain yourself.

Some industries it might not really matter, but when the convention is "do one page" and you're being a faggot rebel for no real reason you get immediately passed over. the way to be a special snowflake in most industries is to show that you work hard as fuck.

>Customer Service job
Very easy to get, customer service is entry-level position for many banks, techs and fortune 500s. To qualify, all you need is a degree and a heartbeat.
>government analysis, private study abroad companies, airlines
ditto, very easy, just interview and wait for the you're hired phone call.
>really love to do interpretation/translation, just don't know how to get started there.
Depends on your location. You want to be within commuting distance of a city with minimum over 300k population, such as Tampa. Make a spreadsheet of all the translation/interpretation firms in the area, then visit their websites and select the most appealing ones to submit your resume.
You'll find that most of this work revolves around law firms and the county courthouse. Once you've got some experience under your belt, then you proceed to step two. You incorporate as a sole proprietor and start advertising your services on CL and direct mailings to lawyers. Don't get discouraged, it takes time to build a list of clientele.

Add an Objective statement to the very top of the resume stating who you are, what type of position you're seeking, and be specific about the geographic area. This is the most important part of the resume -- it's read first, and it's where you mention that you have 18 years experience as a network engineer and so on.

What kind of jobs are you applying for? Nobody cares if you sent faxes, walked dogs, cleaned. You need to make it very clear what you learned/did on those jobs that could be useful, you don't want to rely on the hiring manager wading through it because he won't.

Telling me you have "some background" in x tells me nothing, show me qualifications or an experience were you put it to use.

>>1244641

>>1244650
Listing those always seemed weird to me. I don't know anybody who can't work with Word or Powerpoint or Excel these days. Does it really help?
>>1244655
Okay.

>>1244658

gmail is fine

something like a 'technical skills' category or some sort of 'skills category' you think would be applicable to the job you're looking for.

3: that's fine, the idea is to give less paper space to the schooling if you're not confident about it, less eye catching. You don't even have to list them both, just the one that is the highest education most applicable to the job you're looking for.

>>1244663

Yes it helps, not everyone applying is coming out of college. You're competing with people all the way up to retirement age, and definitely not all of them know these skills. Any program, business software, work-related skill can be listed beforehand.

If it comes down to explaining the skills you picked up in schooling and life vs the ones you list beforehand on the resume, would you rather the conversation be about skills you presented, or have a conversation about how school went?

>>1244669
Okay, I can get a placeholder email while I cook up something more professional.

I don't really know what sort of job I'm looking for, besides the basic stuff I listed. I mean, I listed the political stuff, but that was two years ago when I deluded that I'd just jump right into a career. Should I just mock-up one like that's still my focus? I mean, I guess it is, but I don't see it happening anymore...

And wouldn't hiding stuff like that on a resume by downplaying it alert a reviewer to that being your weakness? Like, if I were HR or whatever entity looks over resumes, surely I'd be trying to find people to eliminate, and looking for flaws. Something downplayed makes me think 'why is he downplaying his degree? Is he not proud of it? I should check on that'. Isn't it better to just list it out there and expect them to look for other weaknesses?

>>1244693
Well they're not really looking for weaknesses, it's more about relevance. If everyone listed things all the way back to 1970s part time jobs at a supermarket (ive seen it done) all the resumes would be 3-4 pages long.

I didn't list my more recent incomplete education for my current job, but listed what I had a degree in and that was more relevant to the position I was applying for.

It's not always HR that sees your resume also, different company to company, but a lot of times it's the actual manager you're going to have managing you too.

How would they find out what schools you didn't list that you went to anyways? Even then, what information could they possibly obtain?

That's the idea behind listing the skills - then they don't take the time to focus on the schooling itself and instead you lead them to focus on what you think is relevant for the job - which is your main selling point besides the minimum qualifications that they will have.

Okay, I'll try cooking up something. I guess my job involved shipping a lot so I can work on framing in working with shipping and processing work for a start.

I have been using my @hotmail as my main email since like pre-9/11, it's just my last name so still kind of professional. Will employers look down on me since I don't have gmail or someshit?

Help me please. I know the objective statement is blank, as I haven't actually applied anywhere yet. I'm not creative in the slightest so i'll take any and all criticisms

>I was shit at college...barely scraped by with a 2.4 GPA
that's between us, don't share this info on interviews. If somebody asks what your GPA was in college, just derail the conversation -- answer with "I was always a good student and a hard worker and I put my heart and soul into everything I did." Drive the conversation away from grades and talk about something else. I honestly doubt it'll even be asked, tbqh desu senpai.
>never joined clubs or had any contacts
doesn't matter.
>I just fucked around and didn't study well.
I know that if you could go back, knowing what you know now, you would do things differently. We all would. Don't sweat it, you can't change the past but you can change the future.

Why would anyone ever put vlookup or pivot tables on their resume? Anyone with half a brain can learn this stuff in 10min. It just makes you look like a retard to put insignificant crap like that on there

>>1245051
there are programs that automatically search for specific keywords. Everybody else puts Excel on their resume, or just MS Office, but this anon has a couple of obscure keywords which might get him singled out.

>>1244621
swap the order of the jobs so that the most recent is on top and the oldest on the bottom.

>>1245062
I still think its retarded. I wouldn't hire a guy like this because I would know that this person knows nothing about Excel or VBA if they are putting shit like that on their resume. Besides anyone actually working with Excel knows that vlookup is the slowest and shittiest way to find a value

I updated my resume based on the recommendations given. Formatting's a bit slapdash atm, I'll fiddle with that later.

>>1245072
And yes, I just noticed I forgot to edit the spelling errors (or word just not understanding what Endicia is). I'll fix those too.

In the current Night Auditor job, change all of the verbs from past tense to present tense -- because still employed there.
Use the same double dash in the first date that you used in the other dates.
Left justify your text instead of indenting. A clean left line makes it so much easier to read and looks better, imho.
Increase the font size of the headings
Discard the heading Volunteer, it's already mentioned in the job description
google "hotel+resume+example" for some ideas and inspiration for your job descriptions - they don't need rewrite but they could use tweaking.

Any tips for an entry level pleb looking for his first job? What should I be putting on my CV?

You might be surprised how many firms and small businesses are run by retards who are absolutely clueless on technology, and many other things areas.
I have a client with a small business netting 300k (incredible sales skills/gift of gab) but he can't grasp simple basic accounting stuff. We'll go over the financials and we have to go line-by-line with a full explanation for each item. He just doesn't get it. And yet he somehow this nincompoop stumbles his way into profitable deals every month. Meanwhile, I know some amazingly brilliant people with doctorates who struggle to pay their bills each month.

>>1245147
Sure, but you could make this argument about everything. Doesn't mean you should put garbage on your resume. I can guarantee you that your resume will go straight in the trash if I see basic Excel functions on there.

Less is more. Get rid of all the fluff, Anon.
Your Objective should be short and sweet, something like this:

you're right

Im doing all the changes you suggested, but I have a quick question. When you say left justify does that mean I should have ALL the text along the same margin, including bullet points?

>>1245225
lol I was too embarrassed to ask this same thing but yeah I wanna know too

>>1243891
thanks for the comments, will change and reupload.

In regards to the skills, are you saying I shouldn't include them? I was gonna leave my high school to kind of show that I finished the program in 4 years and straight out of high school, I'm not sure if thats relevant thought.

Thanks for pointers man.

>In regards to the skills
If you're going to seek a job in electrical engineering, don't put anything unrelated. Be really careful to edit out the clutter, by that I mean anything irrelevant to electrical engineering including programming, graphic design, and writing skills.

pic related = example of left justified
By keep all text left justified, your resume is easier to read and looks better, especially when printed.

Can someone review, I plan to look for a job in finance (audit, hopefully big 4), risk or wealth/asset management.

I am yet to graduate, so I will be applying for graduate jobs in September.

Ignore the spelling of organisation - my excel is set on US and I am from the UK.

Is knowing how to use =VLOOKUP enough to be considered advanced in Excel nowadays????

>>1228426
I remember you. Even though you made my day back then, I felt really sorry.

Anyway, I see a major improvement in your CV lad. But listen to >>1229198

That should have been the very first thing on your resume. Why haven't you created an Objective heading for your objective statement?
I gave examples in this tread of well written objective statements.
