OP, I looked at your resume and have some ideas to help you improve it. Move your skills to the top. If you're looking for a programming/IT/sysadmin type job, put things like HTML, CSS, Git and AWS in your skill section, along with any other technical things you've worked on. Given that you're looking for general office work as well as IT stuff, I would suggest writing two resumes, one focused on highlighting your technical skills and the other highlighting your office/customer service/sales skills. Move your work experience to right under your skills. It's relatively clear what you did (which is better than some peoples' resumes, believe me!), but I don't get a sense of how those activities made an impact at your employer. It's obvious from your posts that you're good at writing; apply that skill to your resume. Keep in mind that it's a persuasive document, one intended to intrigue someone enough to make them want to pick up the phone and give you a call. Get rid of the high school art club section. No one cares (unless you're specifically applying to be an artist, I suppose). From a corporate point of view, it makes you look like you don't know what professional norms are. A general weakness of your resume as currently written is that you use vague terms where more specific ones would probably help you improve your callback rate. A few examples: "Oversaw numerous repairs and maintenance of various computers, peripherals, and smartphones." - how many? what kinds of computers, peripherals, and smartphones? Did you "oversee" the repairs or did you actually perform the repairs? "Deployed, installed, and configured various hardware." - What kinds of hardware? Computers? Televisions? Radios? Speak-and-spells? "Managed the advertising and promotion of the business." - How much advertising budget were you responsible for as an ad manager? What kind of return did the store get as a result of your managerial activities? Hopefully you get the idea. Assuming that your resume is not fundamentally dishonest, I have every confidence you can leverage your technical skills and sales background to get some kind of a 9-5, especially in a market as big as NYC. e: Also, don't do a loving unpaid internship unless you're a trust-fund kid trying to get into a niche that's entirely built on connections. fantastic in plastic fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Jun 8, 2017 |
