Can You help me write a resume; pretty much every job that im applying requires one so i want to make a good one. Im only 17 so i had never done this before since im applying for my first job. its Mostly for clothing stores and stuff so ill appreciate the help:) kk thanks.

Don’t force yourself to write something that you can’t, simply follow your own ideas and be fluent and precise. Keep in mind that you always need to imagine what the reader will have as impression ( put your self on his mind) and try your best to make him find what he wants precisely by avoiding the "useless" information. Finally, know that everything you want is already achieved once your try your best

When a high school student is writing a resume should they put all the high schools they’ve attended?

Michelle — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 04:27:38 +0000

I’m writing a resume. And I’ve attended three high schools. I have a resume example thing my sister got from school, but I don’t know if it would be necessary to put all the high schools I’ve attended or just the one I’m currently attending? /= Please help. I’m new to all of this.

No, you just show the last high school you attended. When you write a resume it’s not suppose to be a history of your education. You just need to show the last school you attended or if you are attending school. It cannot be more than 1 page. The person who reads your resume will throw it out automatically without reading it if it’s more than one page long.

Thanks for your help in adavance!

Examples of long term goals to write on a resume?

Michelle — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 10:16:36 +0000

What would be a long term goal I could include on a basic resume?

There is no need to include a long-term goal on a resume. If it is a question on a job application, then list something relevant to that company/position.

How do you write a resume?

Michelle — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 08:44:20 +0000

…Can someone write an example-layout, of what a resume should look like. Write it like you would as an example? plz and thanx =)

Besides setting all margins to 1", the most important criteria for setting up a professional resume besides relevant text, is "scanability." Here are some helpful tips:

1. Place just below your identification header [your hame, address, phone, email address] any Conditional Warning Statement such as "Confidential Resume,"Do Not Contact Current Employer," etc.
2. Always fill-in an Objectives category [just below the Conditional Warning Statement] and make sure that he Objective will contribute to the profitability of your future employer;
3. Select a mono-type font such as Helvetica, Arial, Courier or Times Roman; do not select any cursive handwriting styles which cannot scanned;
4. Keep font sizes within a range of 10 to 12 pts.;
5. Avoid styling text with a justified alignment, keep it flushed left;
6. Instead of using tabs to set up blocked text entries, generate a table and use the column and row settings accordingly;
7. Do not place an i.d. picture anywhere on the resume, this is a major taboo due to discrimination issues;
8. Do not place any graphic text [saved as .gifs] onto the resume since it may be overlooked during the scanning phase;
9. List at the very end of the resume your interests which should include travel experiences, language skills, social interactions such as golf, team sports, tennis, etc.

In conclusion, the above helpful hints were designed to allow ease of scanning of your resume into PDF which can then be text captured for seach purposes by your potential employer. If the original resume was created in Word, WordPerfect or Mac Appleworks, it can be Saved As a PDF file which then can be saved as an email attachment. Otherwise, you can simply use a scanner and scan a hard copy of the resume and then save as a PDF file.

Failure to conform the resume to appropriate fonts and styles as outlined above will result in rejection of the resume simply due to the inability of the scanning device to properly index relevant resume entries.

Good luck!

Whats best to include in a resume for a real estate agent?

Michelle — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 09:28:12 +0000

I’m just writing my resume as a real estate agent and I’m having difficulty to put things into words in a professional way.

What are some of the examples of the responsibilities and accomplishments that I should include?

Whoa! STOP! All you have to do is apply to the state for a license and they will be chasing you down. You won’t need a resume. You, interview them. Look for a company that offers you the right environment. If you are new, ask about training! Ask about how fast the startup is. If you already have access to the MLS check them out and if they tell you their numbers are spectacular prove it out. Search, solds by office id and prove it out. Figure out who their top producers are and ask to talk to them by name. Ask the newest person, how long it took to get a phone line, e-mail address, web page? Check out their average sales price that’s where the leads are coming from! Checkout the Days on market-does their training work? do they have a strong lender that can close your leads in a timely fashion? How does their days on market compare to everyone elses? What is their lowest list price? Highest list price? what kind of listings do they take? Are they doing more listings or sales (buyers) which do you like to work. Will you be happy and successful here?

I just went through this again and one company thought 3 weeks was a good time frame. I went with the one that had everything done in less than 24 hours- RE/MAX rocks! Good Luck!
p.s. If you are stepping out of the business talk about number of units sold, gross volume, marketing skills, profit increases. TAlk about how you compare to others from a length of time in the business to their volume etc. Maybe you closed 3 million in one year and 4.5 the next that shows that you know how to improve your business. See? Good luck with either

How do I know when my resume is ready for distribution?

Michelle — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 10:38:28 +0000

I have seen many examples of resumes and every site has a different way of writing them. I am not sure, anymore, of the better or best way of detailing a resume.

The best "general" way to write a resume would include:
-Summary of your credentials which would begin your career history.
-You can add "core competencies" which would be hard skills if you are in technology or soft skill i.e. excellent communicator.
-If your education is much more "experienced" then your current work experience; your next section would be Education or Professional Development.
-Following this section would be your Professional Experience. Please make sure you do not blend actual job responsibilities with achievements. If you have achievements make sure this is a separate section within each job. (Start at present position).
-Next 2 sections would include either Education if not utilized in the beginning of your resume and/or affiliations.
-You can end with References upon request.

Without knowing your field this is the best format to follow.

Best of Luck
