    My husband is looking for good job can someone critique his resume?
    Attached is a my husband's resume in 2003-2007 Microsoft Word format.
    Thank you so much for helping us out. He has never had to make a resume before, and I have always worked for my grandparents. I just took a class that had a section on resumes, but I am still too unsure of myself to rely on my knowledge.

    Nothing has shown up about your husband's resume. Would suggest that you not post something this on a public board. If he took a course in resume writing I am sure that it will be okay.

    Hello o:

    Not having seen it, I can STILL say it doesn't do the job. Most resumes don't get read. If you don't capture the attention of the manager in the first TWO seconds after he picks it up, it's going in the trash can. This guy doesn't have time to read 'em all.

    So, the resume shouldn't start reporting... It should start SELLING. It should have, as it's top line something like, 15 years of Successful sales experience. Do the reporting stuff on the second page. That's right. No MORE than two pages.

    Octavia that is not true. I read many of the resume's I receive.

    I read all the resume's with cover letters. If I don't find what I am looking for I go and read some of the others.

    Write a good cover letter and try to make the resume one or two pages and no more.

    If you wish me to read the resume and comment you can send it to me at
