I updated it again for the umpteenth time this last year. Sucked to have to get rid of my Eagle Scout and my Senate Page stuff, but... hey, that time comes. It's no longer relevant.

Cheers!

Do you not want us to know your full name? If so, there's something else you need to change.

The title of that page. I don't know if you care or not. Just thought you did because you put your alias on the resume page instead of your actual name.

Resume looks good to me. I don't know if you have a specific job that you're going to use it for or not. I customize my objectives or goals for whatever position I'm applying for rather than have a broad or generic one.

Problem is at the moment I have no idea what kind of position I'm applying for. I have a background in finance (academically and personally) and human resources ("professionally" and personally), not strong enough in accounting to label that as an objective just yet.

Looks good.....I wouldn't put honors in my education listing but that's just me. I usually just have one section called Achievements and have that combined with your honors and your awards/grants section.

When you state your achievements, try to use the S-T-A-R example. S=Situation, T=Task, A=Action, R=Results...

For example, you wrote:

Community Assistant. I ensure the safe and smooth operation of an apartment complex of 450+ residents. The majority of my job duties are related to enforcement of complex and university policies and conflict management and resolution. I also compile and edit a monthly complex newsletter, and interview Resident Adviser job applicants.

To do this using STAR, I tried (of course I don't know all the embedded details, so you'll have to work it):

Community Assistant June 2003 - Present
Housing and Food Services, University of Washington
Managed the operations of an apartment complex of more than 450 people by enforcement of complex and university polices, which resulted in the safety, maintenance, and conflict management/resolution of the residents. In addition to these duties, I managed a newsletter for the complex which was published monthly.

Resident Adviser. I was responsible for providing educational programs and community development for a residence hall wing of 53 college students, and for enforcing University policy and state laws. I was part of the interviewing team for incoming employees. Recipient of the Departmental Award for Student Safety and Awareness for the 2002-2003 academic year.

Resident Advisor September 2002 ? June 2003
Housing and Food Services, University of Washington
Provided educational programs and community development for 53 college students for activities such as {insert something here}, which resulted in students {insert something here}. Constructed a safety and university policy awareness program for students in my wing during 2002-2003, which culminated in an award for Student Safety and Awareness.[/b]


Do the rest of your resume in the same way. Use as many examples with RESULTS! Don't be redundant, and use as many numbers as you can, because they are stoppers! Causing readers to stop and examine your resume. The more you can stop people, the BETTER!

Get rid of I you use it way to much!!!!!!!!!!!! There is no use for I in any resume, we know its you
 

What are your likes/dislikes at your previous jobs ?

Do you like doing what has been assigned to you in the past ?

What are your goals pertaining to your career ?

Do you strive for perfection in your job, are you willing to put the extra effort and time in to get the job done ?

These are the things that I look for when hiring a new employee..
