Sefiros posted:I'm applying for a Music Producer position at a games company soon. This is what I have for a CV so far. I know it is pretty (extremely) terrible but I'm not sure how to make it sound better. I've also been writing and producing my own music for the past eight-ish years but I'm not sure if/how I should incorporate that. Here you go. I hope this gives you a good starting point to revise your CV.

. I would like to do process control engineering, but I need to start somewhere. My research was just generic research I did at my community college to do something. I'm not that really interested in doing organic synthesis.

Christ Pseudoscientist posted:If I can get some feedback on my resume it would be appreciated. It prints as 1 page on a PDF but for some reason shows up as 2 pages here. I have written a basic critique of your resume. I like that you have quantified some of your job description content, but it still has a ways to go. Especially because I am certain there is much more you can say about your work experience. I think you already know this, but if you send your resume as a .PDF you will avoid any issues with the page length.

Xeom posted:Hey guys I posted my resume a while ago I made some changes and have been applying to a ton of places, but can't even seem to get a call back. Here is my current resume, I am not sure whats wrong :\. Here is a very basic critique. Basically, you need to focus on particular skills and methods you are familiar with since you don't have any recent work experience. You can do this by adding them to the academic projects and skills section, and putting a "relevant" coursework under your degree. Hope this helps!

The old formatting and organization was better. You sort of threw the baby out with the bathwater. You were close before, you just needed a few tweaks and you needed to write better sentences. I think this new version is worse.

Keith Stone posted:If I am expecting (and desiring) a bit of travel, does stating that I have already done so help or is that a given? Follow the classic show don't tell advice you have heard countless times. Show your travel experience within the context of your experience. That may include simply listing study abroad experience, bullet points involving business travel within your job description (where you traveled and what you did, etc.), foreign languages you speak, volunteer experiences abroad, etc.

Keith Stone posted:How about : That's closer to the idea but the grammar and details are poorly written. A better example would be to say "Developed and conducted five U.S. Army logistics training programs to units with up to 60 local Technicians on-site in two Western European countries." That sentence is still lacking the detail to make it impressive but is closer to what you should aim to write.

Keith Stone posted:Thanks for your help. I think I have the right words for that. That's a huge qualifications and belong at the top of your resume in most cases. I typically include that in a "Profile" or "Summary of Qualifications" section at the top of the resume underneath the sentence itself as a bullet point. Something along the lines of "DoD Security Clearance: TS/SCI-cleared."

Pureauthor posted:So how strict are companies usually about that 'Minimum 1 year work experience' thing? Can I give those a shot as a fresh graduate or would I be wasting my time? Job listings are often a wish list. Exceptions would be jobs that require professional licenses and that sort like accountants. Otherwise, if all the job requires is that you email them a resume and cover letter this should not take more than two minutes of your time. I don't understand what you mean when you say you "give tuition". Can you rephrase that.

Skeezy posted:So I'm trying to get my resume up in ship shape and I have no clue what the heck to even do. I've mostly been in the retail area with some office work sprinkled in (thanks to temp agencies) but I kinda wanted to make the resume spark up a bit more then how it is. There really is a lot of conflicting advice out there so I can understand how confusing it feels to create a resume. You are at least aware that your resume can be better. I hope this helps.

yoohoo posted:I'm finishing up a professional program at NYU here in a few weeks looking to go into a creative/design field and was wondering about how my resume should look. Right now it doesn't look bad at all, but a lot of the people in my program are making theirs pretty spiffy. Googling "design resume" brings back some very nice looking ones but I don't know if they are actually practical. Where would you draw the line with adding extra elements to make it more creative/stand out? A resume and a portfolio are both just as important to the application process. But they both serve separate but aligned purposes. The portfolio will demonstrate you work while the resume can provide the context for understanding it. Anything more than bold, italics, underlines, and a few different sized fonts is overdoing it and will make the resume hard to read because it will distract from the content. Do you really want to attempt to show off your design skills in a document completely full of text? Put a link to your portfolio inside the resume (your website or your PDF uploaded to a cloud) and leave it at that.

Duxwig posted:My interview is tomorrow so I went through and drastically changed my original resume and this is what I came up with. Attached is a critique. This needs a ton of work but also reconsider bringing in a new resume tomorrow. They chose to interview based on the resume you previously submitted and the questions they have are likely based on that previous resume. If you do choose to use a new resume, consider providing it in advance by email if you can.

100 HOGS AGREE posted:Could someone have a look at my buddy's resume? An opening for a programmer is there at the company I started working at recently and I'm going to send his resume over to HR for him after they explicitly asked us for referrals to fill open positions. I'd really like to help him out since he's starting to look for work since he's nearly done with his Master's degree, and the company I work at is in super expansion mode right now so I think it'd be a really good first job for him. There is so much wrong with your friend's resume. Even with these fixes it would still be far from good unfortunately. I hope the friend is someone open to advice and does not take the feedback the wrong way.

I wanted to share a easy tip to help with the job search. Sign up for a free Google Voice number and use that number on your resume. If a potential employer calls it will indicate while ringing. You will be that much more prepared to answer the call.

Gothmog1065 posted:Okay, I need a critique of my resume. It's worded really well, but I get the feeling there could be something done to make it better in some way. Here is a very basic critique of the first page. I also hate to say this, but it's not worded well at all. And it's also sort of totally unclear what jobs you are looking for. You should probably either create a version more focused on the tech support stuff or a version more focused on the surveying stuff. The mix doesn't help you much.

Rabbi Tupac posted:I figure I should let you guys have a look at my resume by now. I've followed the thread a bit and have tried to fancy it up but I haven't been getting any real traction. I'm typically applying to entry level geology jobs at larger firms, gov jobs(tend to make those much longer/in depth), and then basic office stuff. Usually tailor each resume to each job but here's one for a generic geology job. I know I don't have much experience. I worked in college and first in a family to go to it so everyone basically just thought a job would sprout up out from the degree. I'm sure there's some dumb poo poo I have missed or can improve on in it. Here is a very basic critique. Hope this helps!
