Helped built a telemarketing office with over 20 workstations and call centers.

Should this read: Helped build....instead of built???

Thats bout all I see..

Looks pretty good - you should add a statement to the "education" section saying "degree to be conferred May, 2001" or whenever the date is. Your prospects will probably want to know how far along you are in your studies and when you'll be graduating.

There are also different schools of thought on whether you should include a grade point average. My overall GPA wasn't stellar, but my major GPA was damn good. Still, I included both on my resume. It gives the appearance that you're being more open.

I may pop back later with a few more comments. Hope this helps...

The skeleton outline for a resume I have has a section for awards/honors you have received. I have stuff listed there such as scholarships and school events I have been involved in. I agree also to list your expected date of graduation. My GPA is listed on my resume as well.

Also, under your Coleman College section, you may list "librarian assistant" next to the resource center assistant title you held. I say this just because under resource center assistant, you have given descriptions of what you did on the job, while librarian assistant may be considered a separate job title and need to be placed before the descriptions. I may be wrong on that...just throwing out suggestions. I am sure someone here will have the right info.

Thanks alot for the suggestions. I made some changes to it, and will be adding more tomorrow.
check again http://24.177.53.45/resume2.htm
I'm not too concerned about the looks on the HTML page. I'm more into the word format and the writting.

if you have any tips on tags and codes, they are more than welcome.

thanks

Did you get what I e-mailed you?

jimberg · 05-08-2001, 09:05 AM

Oops, took a look at it again. I guess you did.

Change:
Ordering and handling office materials.

to:
Ordered and handled office materials.

How about putting your GPA down if it is good? Do you have any awards, community service, or volunteer work? I'd tailor the objective statement to fit the specific job you are applying for. Maybe add 'an entry level position which allows for career advancement within the company' to it somehow. Back when I last updated mine (10 years ago) the line 'References available upon request' was typical at the bottom of the resume.

Listing hobbies and interests is always good. People prefer to work with others who share the same interests. Just don't put down stuff that is politically incorrect, unless your goal is to weed those jobs out. e.g. Hunting, shooting sports, going to strip clubs, etc.
