thanks in advance.....btw, I started this thread like 3 years ago, good to see that it's still goin

I separated them into two sentence paragraphs.  Example: As a *insert title* with so and so, I increased revenue by 40% followed by yada yada.  You can use point form also, bullets might make it cleaner.  Just try to fit everything neatly on one page.

Bullet points is the way to go, resume's should be quick and to the point.  Use power words, don't be vague, and if you made money for a company or increase profits...mention it.

Sad but true, you will work hours on a resume and the person that will actually hire you will get it in their hands 2-5 minutes before they see you.  It's just the way it is now.

Just landed a job at JC Penny.. The problem is its a seasonal position and I will be returning home for the holidays(Im away for college). Sad part is that I didnt even find out it was a seasonal position until I went in for the interview and I didnt want to waste my time so I just went with it..I might be able to get 2 paycheck before they get rid of me.

 

[nyzmagician]

I need anything at the moment. Seasonal or whatever. Who is hiring? Located in NYC

 

[dagametriple]

[mackmittenzz]

[papageorgeo510]

Had a interview and second interview, I thought I had it. They even said I was in. However, the job they were supposed to get didn't plan out. smh
Being a Machinist can be tough! Or maybe is just the economy.

Update: I had a interview with this car customization place. The guy liked my worked and gave me two assignments: design a brochure for window tints and another for a alarm system. I also designed a tri-fold brochure detailing everything the company does. In addition, he wanted me to take the current logo for their company and put my own spin on it. I did all of this and he LOVED my work, especially not to have any instruction. 
He said I'm a front runner for the job. If all goes well, I'll have it and start soon. I have to do some PHP and a little beginner level Flash (which I have experience in both). But on the plus side, i'll be making $10,000 a year more than I made on my last job

[celticsfan9783]

Been unemployed since June. I've watched my savings go from $15,000 to $3,000 because of bills and such. COBRA payment of $554.00/month=fail.

I have my B.S. in Criminal Justice and plan on taking the Corrections Officer exam next spring, but need something until then. Moving out of my house the 1st week of January so I need something QUICK. I have an appointment with a recruiter about a $14/hr temp FT Data Entry job. Anyone every work Data Entry?

Mad stressed about being unemployed and not finding anything that interests me to hold me over.

An employer has been telling me he would have my Offer Letter this week...for 2 weeks now. Why do you guys suppose this is, busy or having second thoughts?

 

[Renaldo Balkman]

damn... I didn't realize how bad it was out there... wish everyone out there the best of luck

Anyone needing a quick buck, JC Penney is hiring a +%$$ ton of people throughout the country for holiday work. No drug testing (at least in my area), and a quick 2 day training period. As long as you dont have anything on your record, you'll get the job.

 

[ace rawstein]

had several phone interviews lately....still hate those!

i never feel like im prepared enough with them...and i feel like i dont ask enough questions or talk enough.

for every phone interview ive completely i have yet to receive a follow up...

I dont feel I totally bomb them or come across as unqualified but It seems as if Im not making enough impact to keep things in motion

 

[geoffroretro]

Landed interviews at NETFLIX. On the 4th out of 6 interviews. Long process but hope it all works out.

 

[cole world]

Sup fam, just started looking for a job seriously today. Just put in about 10 online apps, and going on Wednesday to fill some out in person.

 

[fresh2deff]

Did my JC Penney app yesterday morning, about to call them tomorrow to follow up. Ready to get out of my current job which is working for Target.coms warehouse

 %!$$ sucks so much..
