Did you write your own resume?

[sooperhooper]

I did originally, but I've been told that it needs some adjustments. Maybe someone that's good at writing resumes could give a few pointers.

I believe there was a thread in here about resumes or something similar.

Try searching for it.

I wrote my own resume. We have to take a Professional Development class at my University, they teach us everything in that.

I wrote my high school resume for some internship a while ago. Thinking about it, i can def update mine as well

yes but a revision from a professional is always appreciated

 

[wj4]

Yes, I wrote my own resume. It's about to get beefed the hell up after this summer with a B.S., a couple more interns, and a certification though.

 

[shortydoowopp]

i need some too...my resume is at 2 pages now and i know i need to trim it down

 

[justscoreda100]

I took my roommates resume (we're in the same field) removed some of the more dangerous swells

And added some of my own personal skills.

Hes actually attracted interviews with his resume so I thought using it as a base would better my chances.

I'm actually really good with this stuff and I've written whole guides on NT before (need to archive this stuff)

I'll write a nice, thought out one combining my personal experiences, what recruiters have told me and so on (by the end of the week, probably bywednesday).



btw, college kids, your school should have a career resource department or something like that, they should have free resume critiquing.

 

[sir rob a lot]

Sure did....

 

[theyoungestgun]

if you dont write your resume who should?

 

[rsdplaya]

you go to college dude?

if so, i'd definitely check out the career center, they will give you tons of help.

 

[theyoungestgun]

i know that, but he's asking did you write your own resume? duh, you're the only one that should. they can help you but in the end it's yourresume, so you decide what you put on it, and what not. besides, the career center will only give you advice, not write it for you

[importking]

[platinum baller]

Yup, I wrote my own. Got some advice from a recruitment agency.

Seeing as all they do is look at CVs!

I knew someone would come in here talking like this

Ok,Did you "revise/ structure" your own resume.

 

[rico x hood]

I did my own, with a couple pointers from my school counselors. However, all the words and structure are mine, and I haven't had an issue with it so far.

 

[rsdplaya]

cv's?

 

[HEATHEN]

If you can't write your own resume you don't deserve the job.

 

[fantastic4our]

I think I need to redo my resume because it clearly aint attracting any employers

 

[sylvestermcgrizzly]

I wrote mine but I need to cut my down some...need room for references
