3800 Need some resume critiquing...

[98GTPDriva]

Well, I recently started to put my resume/cover letter together in an effort to begin my career mid-2006. I have never actually put one together until now, which is why I am looking for constructive criticism here. I have conducted successful research on the topic and feel more informed than when I began.

If there is anyone with some time and experience in resumes/resume writing, please feel free to take a look at mine and offer advice. It would be greatly appreciated.

And unfortunately, I will NOT be able to compensate anyone for their successful critiquing if it lands me a well-paying job.

Oh, and I am not worried about the appearance of it (unless there is something very wrong with it), but I am concerned about the content. I chose a functional resume because I do not have much experience in the field, but my education is where I feel I hold an edge. TIA.

pefect. short simple and to the point.

having spoken to a cple human resource ppl. they enjoy the short and to the poin tresumes. over the long and drawn out ones.

ONly problem I found was that your objective is very cliche. Very un original.

remember the first thing they will se is that opening line.

Good objective statement! I'd move the "computer Skills" section to the bottom and add a "References upon Request" statement under that. Further, I'd dress up the "Experience" descriptions with a few 25 cent words. You could add some color to the descriptions too; like a janitor would describe his position as a "Sanitation Engineer" rather than a urinal scrubber!


Congratulations on the MBA. I too just finished mine and am in the process of updating my resume for opportunities in 2006.
