Patches Mack- I am by no means an expert on resumes or their design. In fact I had three different career counselors tell me to do mine three different ways. The one thing I DO know for sure though is format and length are everything. As a former GM in restaurants, I hired (and fired) many people over the years. I usually put any resume longer than 1 page at the bottom and any with bad grammar or never-ending descriptions usually got tossed all together.
ReplyDeleteIn today's job market, it is my understanding that you want to be short and concise but still give a broad overview of your knowledge, skills and abilities. What will you bring to the table for this new company?
Your resume is a good start. I am confident that all of us have some revising to do. Keep up the good work.
