Your resume has a lot of valuable and important information. The other persons who answered your question propapbly only saw your information. Just skimming over your resume though i thought that it could use better phrasing in some cases. First of all DO NOT use that as your objective, you need to be more specific. Don't expect your prospective employer to guess what kind of a job you want. Maybe your not absolutely sure yourself what you want but at least suggest something that you think you could handle and something you would not mind doing at your (hopefully) new job! Secondly, under the section of professional experience, you need to organize these points so that it is more effective. Putting the more important experiences you've had between the less commendable one's doesn't really have an effect. For example, this may be a better approach Developed website profiles as advertisement for braiding work. Constructed a hair style guide for clients. Maintained customer satisfaction standards. Responsible for artful hair designs and braiding. Maintained customer satisfaction standards. Handled high volume of telephone calls. Scheduled appointments. Welcomed clients. Maybe you can do better! Another idea is to create a general heading called SKILLS. Subdivide this section into computer skills, and any other skills you would like to mention, by doing this, you show the employer that may be a valuable employee in other areas of the job as well and not only in computer or whatever. Also, for languages, try this: LANGUAGES Native: English (if this is it) Other: Spanish Maybe you should put spanish to english translation under skills, as languages is mainly to show your communication abilities.

Looks good to me! it depends what kind of job you're seeking though. if i were you, i would really work on your cover letter. when i look over resumes, i don't even consider an applicant if there's no cover letter. their resume goes straight to the "NO" bin without a cover letter...

This is very impressive Answered By: becca4 - 8/28/2006

LOVe the action verbs! The objective statement is weak and not focused on a particular job though. Looks good, very standard. If you have won any awards or recognitions, you might want to add a "notable Achievements" section-that helps you stand out. Answered By: Dean C - 8/28/2006

Your a shoe in Answered By: dale - 8/28/2006

The info in it is good, but a big part is how it looks on paper. Also, depending on the job you are applying for, you should change your objective. For example if you are looking to be a bank teller then Objective: To utilize my computer skills and customer service experience to obtain an entry level position which will allow me to grow in the field of banking. Good luck and feel free to email me if you have any more questions! Source(s): personal experience and my mom teaches job skills to an adult esl class. Answered By: Preston'smama - 8/28/2006

I would change your objective to relate to the positions you are applying for... (ie. Design Consultant... I seek to leverage my diverse experience in fashion and design with my excellent people skills to exceed your expectations in your company) Under professional experience... combine many of your related points and do minor creative writing to show off your people skills, stress management, design style, computer skills. (Less points and more details goes a long way) Lastly... change the order of importance... 1) Objective 2) Language skills 3) Experience 4) Computer Skills (Also needs more detail) 5) Education Good luck with the Carrier change Source(s): Spent a great amount of time improving my resume... Had alot of help. Answered By: Satchmo - 8/28/2006

Hi there, You are definitely going to need a better, easier to read format then what you have. It looks like you have a lot of professional experience and that is great! But where have you worked? Who have you worked for? Where are your references? What type of job are you aiming to get? Are you focusing on placing the experience you have on the jobs you are applying for? It's OK to have more then ONE resume. Create each one based around and upon the job you are applying for. Showcase your skills in that particular area. It looks like you are multi-skilled. Congratulations on achieving so much! All the best to you. Source(s): http://www.joesy.com/resume.html Answered By: Joesy - 8/28/2006

I was a Staffing Specialist for 5 years and I would tell my temporary associates to have several resumes to cater to the kinds of positions they were looking for. Whether you are looking for an administrative assistant, receptionist, or project manager position; your resume should reflect the position you are going for. You must keep in mind that you want the employer to see you as the person that distinctly matches the opportunity which is available. I would dress up my skills by including multiline phone, internet savvy, and anything that you can think of that may give you an edge over someone else. Because you mention "Data Entry", as a recruiter I would ask what is your ten-key rate or your keystrokes per minute numeric and/or alpha-numeric. You may want to include that where you have you rate per minute in typing. Also, where you indicate "Hair Braider", depending on the type of job, I would indicate only Customer Care Associate or Customer Service Associate. If you are going for a position that is in cosmetology, drop the Customer Care and focus more on "hair braider", but I would even dress up the title by saying "hair stylist" which sounds more professional. Where you instructed new employees, you may want to say, "Conducted orientation for new personnel" or "Conducted training sessions for newly hired staff members." Where you have the hair style guide for clients, I would suggest you saying something like, "Designed marketing tools for clientele." and "Performed on-site advisement for clientele." When you list the duties you have for each position, take care to put the most important thing or the things that would stand out more FIRST. Things like welcoming customers can go towards the end of your list. You may want to say something like, "Meet and greet clients" "Screened visitors and telephone calls" "Scheduled appointments utilizing a computerized system." The idea is to make every thing you did sound like the most important job in the world! Be creative and have fun with it! Answered By: Ebony Unique - 8/28/2006

	How do I get a job with Dodgy work history and no experience? Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now. 1 answer - Asked By: Alex Prieto - 10/14/2012

	What to wear to a job interview VS a career fair? So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?! 2 answers - Asked By: Beast - 9/23/2012
