How does my resume look?

Hi sweetpie88. I think you can spice your resume up a bit and maybe add some more things. Most people try to convert everyday laguage into "resume terminology." For example instead of saying "Works well independently and as a team member," you may say "Abilty to work independently," and "Capable of working in a team enironment." You can "convert" the other things in your resume also.

One other thing you can add is an objective in the beginning of your resume. For example you can say "To obtain a position in which I can apply my organizational, time managemnet, and planning skills." (You can use this as your objective you would like to. ) Also, if you can use Microsoft Office Suite, it is good to add that to your skills.

For the Education section you may put your high school education with your GPA, name of school, grad date, etc.. You can also add your college. Since you don't have a degree, you may want to list some courses that you have taken that maybe relevant to the position in which you are applying for. Finally, the last thing to do is to format: add bullets, italisize objective, add dates, etc..

Got references? You should have some if possible. You don't have to name them if you don't want to, but you can say " References available upon request."

Suggest you name specifically any software you know how to use, e.g. Excel, Word, etc.

Good luck.

Hi, sweetpie88!

Do you have a copy of your resume that you could add as an attachment here?

Thanks!

No I don't... How can I upload it as an attachment>

Just copy and paste it in the text box. Please omit any personal data.

The words in your first post are what you want evaluated?

Keep it short and sweet, with lots of white space. All you want the resume to do for you is be easy to read by a busy person. All the resume will do is get you an interview.
