Resumes
 

So for the guys here who actually have jobs, what do your resumes look like. I need a few examples so i can actually make one for a job i'm applying for. I googled but they only gave me how tos, and no examples.

I used the resume building wizard in MS word

mine looks like shit but it got me a job paying 10.50 an hour
good wage for a college kid.

Well im going for this job with this defence contractor

So it cant be to shitty

super cool dude
if you're desperate you can hire people to make professional resumes for you. dont know how much they charge.

Well, i just want a simple resume, explaining what position i want, and the qualifications I have for that position, plus my education.

Cool thanks TGB. See the guy i know in L3 is a kid i use to go to school with, its his father. And he just happened to be a Sgt. Maj. In the Marines. So he told me at a job fair the other day "You have some things in your resume you dont need, and im going to tell you what you need to put in there, but you didnt hear this from me". I think hes just trying to get my foot in the door with an administrative clerk position with Logistics, than he wants to get me into his developmental and testing of new weapons and things like that.

We call it a Curriculum Vitae over here, this is what is listed in mine:

Hope this helps.

Here's my general outline:

Header:
Name (large) at top. Next line (small) contact info

Profile:
Short, 2-3 line overview of your skeelz

Skills/Experience:
Bulleted list of relevant skills. Relevant being the key word. If you're applying for a job at a bakery, there's no need to list "weapons handling and explosives" training

Education:
Go back as far as high school

Work Experience:
List the last 3-4 jobs you've had, but try not to go back too far, unless it's super-relevant to the job you're applying for.


Keep it under 2 pages and don't bother listing hobbies or that "References are available upon request".

Good luck.

Also, when you list your job experience, try to spin what your duties were at those jobs to suit what the prospective employer is looking for, without being transparently fake.

my resume is pretty beastly... gay blade is right you need to fit it all on one page, you can have an extended resume for interviews if needed

[quote="TGB!":7bdb6]A resume really should only be 1 page. All relevant job experience can be fitted on one. [/quote:7bdb6]

PWNED! Jack bauer > *

LOL!!!!

that site is purely awesomeness

Yea - youll need a LITTLE BIT MORE than a college degree to get into either organization.

Im sure you can get a receptionist position though. . .

WTF I actually had this discussion with my friends a couple days ago. We were all in agreement that Jack would snipe Chuck in the face with a silenced pistol from 400+ feet away long before Norris was aware of his presence. rock:

As much as Jack Bauer likes men... He would absolutely destroy Norris.
