Of course it's real look at the effort put in. The irony is alot of resumes that look like that always have links to their websites showing their content and previous work. Honestly these autists are really talented but then they fuck up their resumes with this shit.

Don't know if it's real.

I worked for a guy many years ago who could only be described as "eccentric". He used to advertise his business wearing a sandwich board.

He was hiring a marketing person and one guy sent his resume in the size and shape of a sandwich board. Boss was impressed but guy didn't get hired. Another guy sent his resume in on fluorescent orange paper.

resume advice.png

I’m 23 and I’ve thought about leaving my job as a server and also thought about taking a break from school for a while. I was a NEET for a while, but I managed to kinda turn my life around. I’m doing bad in school because my depression is back and really fucking me up. I thought about just working in a hospital as a desk monkey. If I get the job I will get paid more and I will get more hrs. So I guess it better than working in a restaurant.
I'm just scared it will fuck up my mental gains. It seems like a boring job, but I really do need more money, so I kind of need the job. The problem is that I have no experience working at a desk job. I only have experience working in a restaurant. The requirements to get the job are pretty low, but I just want to make myself stand out with my resume.
Here is my resume.
Would you guys hire me or give me some tips on how to improve my resume?

Sure, but you don't even need a degree for that shit. Desk jobs are traditionally horrible unless you're a thinker or decision maker.
>>
>>1655786
Cool.

I have been thinking about taking a break from school, so what would I put on my resume if I didn't finish my degree?

also my gpa will probably suffer after this semester. If it falls below a 3.0 and I don't put it down, will that make me look really bad?
>>
>>1655808

If it falls below a 3.0, do not put it on your resume. It's that simple.
>>
>>1655808

Also, I would add how terrible of an idea it would be for you to drop out of college. Life without a degree is going to offer you significantly less career opportunities and cash on hand. Unless you have money to invest or start your own business you're limiting your career choices and making a terrible decision. Finish school and stop being so lazy.

You may even want to consider getting an MBA with how saturated the market is with business degrees.

Take your IQ and SAT off, that is some autistic bullshit to pride yourself on and hiring managers will only roll their eyes at you. Your GPA is low, don't include that either. If companies ask then don't lie about your grades, but don't be forthcoming with the info.

Your shit is pretty bare desu anon, get an internship/co-op, preferably this Summer. It's good that you're at a decent school, their career department will hopefully be able to help set you up with interviews.
>>

Please, for God's sake, don't include your IQ on a resume. You also should leave off your low GPA and your SAT scores

Nobody cares about GPA. Everybody has a degree And a GPA. Put actual shit that is impressive like president of a club or a school project that was successful. And a major is a broad term. Put what you specialized in. Like any specific courses in auditing or jacking off to porn. Hundreds of people apply with an accounting degree. What accounting did you specialize in?

Well I never finished my accounting courses. I really don't like my major which is why I thought about taking a break from school. I saw a few hospital desk positions being available, so I thought applying to there. I don't need a degree for the job, but it says that I need some experience in the office area.

Since I don't have any I'm trying to make myself seem like a good fit with my resume.
>>
>>1656005
It looks like you don't have much of a future. You claim you to have a 140 IQ as if people are supposed to be impressed by that, yet you are a clueless fuck up.

Just get some mindless warehouse job as that looks like all you will ever be good for.
>>
>>1656005

Get work experience by any means necessary because right now your resume makes you look lazy and unemployable.
>>
>>1656010
They always say this or that to weed out the degenerate. We say we require 5 years experience in positions that are basically entry level just so the cry babies and man childs don't apply.

Apply to places.
Wait a day or two.
Call and ask for HR or hiring manager about application questions.
Tell them you applied and were wondering if they reviewed it and when interviews start.
99% of the time they will schedule an interview or tell you that interview stages hasn't begun and will tell you when. They will ask for your name and number but 90% of the time they lose it or never write it down to begin with. So just call back when they said interviews were starting.
When at the interview just be elaborate. Describe things in details. They don't have to be perfect answers, but they should be more than a spoken sentence or two with um being the every 3rd word.
When the interview is over and they ask if you have any questions, ask them how your application looked and how the interview went. Let them know you're situation and how they can approve. They'll always give you a few pointers. Take those and try another interview until you get hired.

I was 22 and have only ever worked at temp agencies because I sucked at interviews. They all knew me and eventually they asked if I wanted to work in the office. Being a virgin autist around a bunch of HR girls coaching me to become sociable was a weird experience but once I wouldn't want to take away. You just got to do it.
>>
>>1656024

Get rid of those stupid fonts. And get rid of your high school diploma info, if you're in college already then no one cares about your high school. And get rid of those "what I learned" parts -- that shit belongs in your cover letter, not your resume. You are also traditionally not supposed to use articles like a, an, the, etc. in resumes. You also have some useless information that says nothing like "worked in small group of three" -- find a way to say that that will actually demonstrate something of value. You may be smart in some things, but you are shit at actually conveying the kind of information hiring managers want to see.

In general your resume could be formatted for easer reading, like moving dates and locations to the right margin.

Not horrible for a teenager, I've seen a worse resumes from people who are c-level executives at fortune 500 companies.

No it's not. If he is in college, then surely he has already graduated high school. Nobody cares what high school people went to. I've worked in HR, recruitment, talent acquisition, and career consulting. There's no reason to put a HS diploma on your resume unless that is your highest level of academic attainment
>>
>>1656354
What if he went to a local elite STEM school that everyone has heard of?
>>
>>1656344
The would be plenty of room if you got rod of useless stuff like high school and all that extra white space between the heading and the body. You can also play with the leading to make more space. Just make another heading called "Selected Publications."

And please don't use colored font. There is literally no reason to use colors on a god damn resume.

>>1656357
I would think his other accomplishments would speak for themselves. There are very, very few good reasons to include high school if you already have higher education experience.

>"orchestrate a marathon"

>tapping a touchscreen counts as communicating with kitchen staff
>improve performance by having coworkers
You're hitting all the wrong points here. They don't want to learn about fucking POS or you working with coworkers. They want you to expand on customer service, being trusted with cash, taking initiative and trying not to be an autist. Go to your career center and ask for help reviewing your resume. Ask the best writer you know to help you improve it, even if you're embarrassed.
And go out and do more shit. Tax season is coming and VITA will be available. Go volunteer for VITA; it is enormously helpful for Accounting majors.
Join the accounting society and network your ass off. Work an internship. Even the hospital administration desk will be more relevant experience than being a host.
>>
>>1656362
>there are very, very few good reasons to include high school
This is pretty fucking true. I went to a national top 30 public school in the US that has a 4% acceptance rate and I don't put that on my fucking resume because no one gives a fuck about that.

>>1656302
I'm conflicted on this because your formatting is obviously tailored towards programmers but it still looks terrible to me. Also, why don't you include more about your internship experience, or research assistant position? Get rid of those "I learned..." crap because it should already be evident in your bullet points, and those are questions your interviewer will ask you. A resume is not a place for you to answer them.

>>1655926
>he puts his IQ and SAT scores on his resume
>shit tier GPA
I would immediately throw out your resume and block your email. The only people who puts those things on their resumes are neckbeard fedora faggot retards who are "Le smart but lazy". You are anything but. I scored 2.2k on my first try and didn't bother taking it again, and I considered myself an underachiever at the time. If you wanna brag about your IQ, get a fucking MacArthur grant.
>>
>>1656344
Expand your margins and get rid of your high school experience.
Also, I don't think you should be using "internship" to describe a research assistant position.
Why the fuck aren't you using bullet points for your leadership and activities experiences. And why do you phrase it that way? Leadership and activities?
Go to the career center and ask for help improving your resume. Columbia has a good one I've heard. Congratulations, you are one step above the average cuck here. Apply yourself and you'll go places. I suggest you join the Engineering society or honors frat if you can. You can put those on your resume. Networking is incredibly important. That's why you go to a good school. It's not the education; it's the networking opportunities.
>>
>>1656596
>That's why you go to a good school. It's not the education; it's the networking opportunities
Could you expand on that? I just don't get how networking works. Do you meet recruiters that hand you jobs(hehe) or future coworkers or what the fuck does it mean nigga
>>
>>1656749
Took me a long time to get used to it but networking is literally talking to successful people and potential successful people. They can literally get you a job if they like you enough. When you get the power one day, you will also have that ability. Just suck mad dick and be a person people like to talk to.
>>
>>1656567
>. Go to your career center and ask for help reviewing your resume.


I did and they said it was fine.
Also you didn't read my post. I said that I didn't like my accounting major, so why would I try and go work in the accounting field?
>>
>>1655693
If there's multiple applicants with the same qualification and I was a a recruiter with limited resources, I'd invite the ones with a more readable CV. Also it's showing that you lack real relevant experience because you include a lot of irrelevant bullshit at the bottom, but at least you show you're engaged
>>
>>1655907
I guess the idea was if you have no skills of value to the employer you just proof your creativity? However this is not a good or convincing attempt for most positions...
>>
>>1656302
Your work experience is good, but don't comment on everything again. It should be self explanatory and at least in Germany you'll have the letter of motivation for this. Why include what courses you have at university? No one cares... Also you also named your skills before...
>>
>>1657902
So do you mean I should make it more readable? In what way?

On the lack of experience you're right. I'm Dutch though and honestly the people who do internships here are 1 in 100. Not having relevant work exeperience is very common hence me including other stuff that atleast shows some kind of engagment.
The board year is actually a lot of work and one of the things recruiters love here in the netherlands.

Any practical feedback on layout/shit is appreciated!

To give you closure: this is what you make when you are getting unemployment, your state/government has a rule that you actually have to attempt to apply and also can't turn down a job offer, but you are a piece of shit and don't actually want to work and run out the unemployment. So you make the worst possible resume that screams "do not hire me", but isn't just a 72 pt "fuck you" to make them not try to challenge that you aren't fucking trying.

>achievements is basically what youre suppose ot do
i wouldnt put achievements at all since the things you listed are supposed to be expected in any work scenario; just tie it into responsibilities

high school irrelevant since youre already in college

your native language goes first (should be removed if job does not consider languages)
>>
>>1658447
Work experience and education first, then skills and then a very condensed part that shows your engagement (activities). You're not there to fill as much space as possible but to present the most valuable information to the recruiter. Listing useless line fillers is not getting you anything because he will only read the first 2 lines.

Yes, also enjoy that you have an easy response to the "what's your biggest weakness" question; lack of experience in this role, but I am a fast learner as shown by XYZ...

I'm a hiring manager and would throw your resume in the trash. Not because you don't seem capable, but because you include Microsoft Office as a skill, yet use a really bad looking template for your resume. If you really knew how to use Word, you'd have no problem making a resume that is both easy to read as well as pleasing to the eye. In choosing a template, you did none of that. Also, there is literally zero reason to use colored font on a resume.

Unless a hobby is relevant to the role or industry.
IE if you want to work for NASA and you have a hobby in model rocketry its a good idea to put it down. If you're applying to be a football coach, its probably best to leave it out.

An exception being sports, these can show good motivation and teamwork skills as well as discipline. I would usually mention somewhere being involved in a sport for any type of resume.

>>
>>1661832
No, and it will be a serious red flag. It's illegal to discriminate based upon age in the US. It's like listing your race, sex, religion on your resume.

I used to work for a career consulting firm. For our older clients, we would even leave off the graduation date for education for older clients so potential employers wouldn't immediately throw out their resume because of age.

>relevant courses
Shouldn't these be implied by your education? And there's no way all those courses could possibly all be actually relevant to any given job you apply for. Replace it with actual certifications and names of software or general concepts/workflows/practices you're proficient with, rather than just the courses, I think.

Like, you're puruing a mech eng degree and are almost done, any employer who cares about your mech eng degree probably understands what mech eng entails. If you feel the need to highlight a specialty, it should go under your skills.

>Work Experience
it's all backwards, say where it was, then what you did. It just flows better that way, since whatever you did at Del Taco should take up more lines than that you just worked at Del Taco at all.

And describe how the volunteer experience is broken up. Treat them like jobs, formatting-wise.
>>
>>1664781
Too many bullets in the first employ history. You want generally the same amount of bullets. Cut out the semantic shit. You want your three bullets to be results driven.

Get rid of one of your jobs. Most hiring managers / HR wagecucks look at only the first three jobs, and only the first bullet point in each.

Remember, resumes are there for keyword searches and something to go off of in Interviews.

>>
>>1665110
No. Here's why:
-Your degree is not "incomplete", it is "in progress" - either list the projected graduation date, or call it "in progress". People read these things VERY quickly, skimming them; don't assume they won't see 'incomplete' and think you're a drop out.

-Drop the "excellent" part, don't give yourself a performance review. Let your references do that for you. Why don't you have references listed? WITH phone numbers.

-"suggested additional items..." no, you UPSOLD. Use their industry language.

-Focus on accomplishments you made rather than the the fact you "developed" a _ page thing. Developed is too ambiguous a word to use there, and you're not hard up for space. Be specific.

Overall, you use way too much superfluous, non-specific language. If I'm hiring, I want to be able to blow through your resume in ~30 seconds and make a tentative decision on your viability for the position. Again, it's customer service. You NEED to list references on the resume, including the position you worked for/with them in, and where.

My pleasure! I have to say that I'm surprised your college's career center was okay with that. I worked at my college's career center (USC), and those were the basic tips I sent people away with.

Now that I do a good deal of hiring (interns, political field), I hate seeing resumes like yours, because I can tell that it's just a matter of never having learned how to properly prepare one. You might be a great candidate; in fact, you probably are, but I have 100 resumes in front of my from talented, experienced young people and I have to filter some out, you know?

Here's a template I designed while I was working at USC. I used it myself, and students I worked with always reported better results. Try it, make it your own. And apologies for it being decidedly politically-themed, but you get the idea.

You've got a 4.0, so you're eligible for just about every award, stipend, and scholarship under the sun. I'm sure you're applying for those and getting them, right? List those on your resume. It's not "fluff", employers look at them as third parties vouching for you. They're worth quite a bit.
>>
>>1665322
I wonder if the top tier school thing might have something to do with it. My alma mater (USC) has been clawing its way up the rankings in recent years, shedding its rep as a rich boy's school. It's been really successful, but there was a TON of investment into career placement services, and we all graduated with a wink and a nudge toward hiring other USC grads.

Maybe more established places figure it's not worth spending the money, like the name is enough. Just a thought, who knows

I disagree. I think it's a huge bonus for entry level positions and internships, and my comment was in reply to a guy applying for the former.

To each their own, but as someone who's been hiring people straight out of college (I manage an internship/onboarding program at E&Y) and for internships (in CA state gov), I've always appreciated it.

Also, they're likely neglecting to put periods at the end of the fragments on their resumes. They just don't want to look stupid and like they don't understand basic sentence structure.

this is how 90% of jobs, including min wage burger flipping etc, is gotten

but having a pretty and well-formatted resume still helps. and it's nice feeling to ensure that, even when nepotism is how most jobs are gotten anyway, that you've done what little is actually within your power (in the short term, at least) to make yourself as employable as possible.

>Why don't we ever address what to do with the less fortunate people like me in this position?

It's just not standard practice. Besides, employers ask for references after they've already initially interviewed someone, it before. I worked for a career center helping students write resumes and cover letters. We would never include references, but we would encourage them to make a seperate reference sheet. Plus, you should always let your references know ahead of time if they are going to be contacted and by whom. If you put them on your resume, you miss that step.

I haven't gotten too much criticism last time I posted my resume with anonymous information but it's not really a general resume format since it's geared towards technical people. I used a heavily modified LaTeX template to write this and compiled with XeLaTeX+MakeIndex+BibTex for the people who care enough to notice that I did that.

I haven't updated this to add my current job, but it's paying me 90K a year as an associate software engineer in the Bay Area for a stable medium sized company. It's not big software company tier where they now pay you 6 figures as a fresh graduate who can hop through all their coding interview questions but it's significantly better than startup salary.

You should update it by creating a professional experience section, then putting the hackathons and shit under a Projects heading or something.

Any why do you use semicolons instead of commas in the last sentence of your summary? You only use semicolons to distinguish items in a list when you already have a comma in the sentence.

Did you just do an hba? What did you think of Ivey? I'm thinking about getting an hba with a bachelor of science (i go to uwo) but I might just get a dual degree with something else, what do you think
>>
>>1670434
Um I don't know the HBO workload for either the Honors program or the bachelor. DESU I would advice you to to get your P and go on to the WO bachelor or just finish the HBO programm and do a WO master and focus on relevant extracurricular activities during your HBO time.

From the talks I had with recruiters I very much doubt the competative fields will accept just HBO, so honors is kinda pointless then.
>>
>>1668047
Haha true true, het is alleen op papier toch echt een bachelor of Science.

Alright I've taken a lot of advice from you guys. Hows my resume now?

Trying to get a desk job at a hospital
>>
>>1671346
I'm in my final year. I wasn't too fond of Ivey; didn't learn a lot. It's more of a stepping stone to a good career.

I think you should only go to Ivey if you want to work in finance/consulting and maybeeeee accounting tho BMOS if fine for that.

How do you present a job if you worked for a labour hire company who then contracted you out to another company?

eg you work for Company A, and they hire you out to Company B

I'm now applying for a job directly with Company B so it's kind of relevant to show I've already been doing work with them

I've been working in retail for the last 4 years out of college and I don't have many skills, what kind of jobs should I be looking for that are office jobs, I just miss consistent hours.
>>
>>1671742
I'm not sure what other advice you've had so far but is it supposed to be 15+ calls? like I know it's nota call center, but it seems like you might want to reword it. Sure include that you took calls, but 15 a day isn't a huge volume (but you have other tasks of course) but it's hard to know how long these calls are also

That said I'm a NEET so what do I know

Well taking calls was only a small part of my job. I only had to do that if the hosts were too busy with other stuff.
>>
>>1658149
this is just blatently false, not everyone with ADHD has that shit bad about them.
>>
>>1672279
Yeah exactly. So you want to make it sound like it was a bigger part, or let them come to the assumption that it was a bigger part (because you mentioned it at all)
>>
>>1672311
How do you think I could reword it?
>>
>>1671742
>Handled a high volume of inbound calls, booked reservations, and resolved customer serice issues

>Provided relief cover for inbound calls, booked reservations, and resolved customer serice issues

>Handled a medium volume of inbound calls, booked reservations, and resolved customer serice issues

maybe something like that.

If they query you on what medium or high volumes of calls is, when you answer put it in the context that you're multitasking and doing other shit at the same time. So it's a medium / high volume of calls considering you were also trying to juggle 9 bowling pins at the same time

Alright that makes sense.


Thank you m8!

Yeah i was already planning to do that. Hows the extra workload for WO tho? I got told only the best 10% of my study can actually do the honoursprogram and there are already only about 100 graduates annually in NL so im not too worried about finding a job even with HBO. Going to do a servicejob at a bank after i get my basic WFT so that should be fine aswell. Thanks for your answers tho and may we meet in a executive boardroom where we scheme plans to milk out the goyim one day.

>all these utterly boring templated CVs
Why? Don't you want to stand out a little? You don't need it to be on fleuroscent paper and to have MLP stickers all over it but goddamn some of these are practically unreadable. So much whitespace, and nothing separating sections. A horizontal line or two wouldn't kill you, and if you're using more than two tabs ever you need to fuck off

No she calls it a CV as well, which is cringeworthy because she's done nothing at all deserving of a CV.

Formatting was off when I converted it from .docx to .pdf but that doesn't matter. Just pretend the dates are on the same line -- if I were to print them off as if I was applying for a job, I'd make sure it was done but I don't feel like it right now

If you were to apply for a job, what would it be anyway with that resume? Just wondering

Honestly, I'll take anything but food right now.
I've been working in the food industry for too long, I need to get out. It's all I've been doing.
Preferably a tech/office job
It's weird to be studying computer science & doing food outside of it.
>>
>>1673744
There's usually courses at local colleges to quite literally train and educate yourself about an office job. It's usually something along the lines of a certificate in office administration -- or something. Go take the courses.

Or, you could just volunteer for some office you'd want to work at. Easy peasy way to get foot in the door.
>>
>>1673568
>>1673634

At a position that requires any brainpower whatsoever they wouldn't give two shits if you had a fucking Facebook or not. The anon that mentioned that being a big deal is an idiot.

>>1671742
Engineering fag here. Can't speak for every profession but when I update a resume I avoid numbers like the ones you list. Put that you answered calls daily or a high volume of calls daily. If you get asked about it you can elaborate. When you list specific numbers like that it looks like you're stretching too hard to sound important or it could be out of context to the employer. You should also avoid numbers and shift towards context that alludes to you answering and handling calls efficiently, regardless of number.


As an example I would not list on my resume that for my previous employer I produced 153 CAD drawings in a month or some shit. It would look like I was a tryhard or it would be completely out of context to them.

Just my 2 cents

That's interesting.

I was told by my career center that putting numbers on your resume was a good thing.

Anyways I've been working on this for a while and this is what I have so far.

Do have any other tips
>>
>>1673789
Then it may depend on the nature of your job. I like to stay away from numbers like that and stay on the side that points towards me completing the most amount of "things here" as possible and efficiently given the resources I have. That and I don't like being held to a number for expectation. Its unreasonable in fields where each sample can vary in time length depending of challenges and available resources, and the fact that as a human and new employee you may encounter new things in each sample you have to learn.
>>
>>1673789
Quantifying your skill set is always a good thing. It shows a degree of experience.

>trained new employees
This could imply you only trained, say, one employee and ta-da now you're a 'trainer'. It's like publishing some Amazon e-book and saying I'm an author now.
But,
>trained 10 employees
Like in your resume, shows how far along you are and how much experience you have. This is almost always better for the employer to know.

stay away from call centres though, they're even worse than food service.

It's an /r9k/ meme. I'm not sure where it started -- probably misunderstandings of advice to not put all your degeneracy out to see on facebook (or at least making it private) in case someone googles your name and sees you doing a beer enema or something.
>>
>>1661820
I'm not the guy you responded to, but you are a faggot. I just dealt with a $200 million company and holy fug I never want to work with Word people again. I cannot see how people think wasting hours per day on typesetting is a useful skill, and any company considering it an "industry standard" is one to avoid.
>>
>>1673816
Why not let people use whatever they're comfortable with? I agree that modern Word is straight trash, but as long as you have a useful document output, what's it matter what you use?

I was told by my professor that at some job places they will make you login to your fb just so they can see all your posts.

The whole class was calling bs, but my professor said it was 100% true.

Blame the people using it. The application is fine if you aren't a fucking mongoloid. Throughout the entirety of engineering school and my work career its been used effectively and quickly without problem.

When it comes to formatting the easiest and best way that guarantees it will look the way you want and not explode between versions is to use tables with no borders. Then each cell of the table can be a column.

Using the "columns" feature always looks like shit, you can't have columns inside columns reliably. It also won't work on anyone else's pc even if they have word and LO can't handle it properly. Worst option obviously is just spacing every line out.

invisible tables with no border are still the best way to go. reason why they need word format is because they want to edit it.

I wish I could say most of it is filler but sadly not. I'll be thinning down my resume as I redo it to include less university experience and more actual work experience.

>>1669576

I'll keep that in mind since now I have more than enough experience from outside school to put in.

I only merged both school and outside experience because both kinda looked weak themselves.
