I appreciate all the help. I'm in critical need for a job. So I need to make my resume as best as possible.

I'm not looking for visually pleasing ideas, but organization and formatting.

<3

First of all you fucked up my computer and second of all you are silly.

I hate PDF's man any other format?

PDFs are king. Anyway it looks sufficient; I can't think of anything that looks a bit off.
hahahaha i got your foun ejnumbers!!!

It looks great to me.  Maybe you could put the number of college credits you have?  I can't think of anything else.

I've heard that making your resume paper a different color than white (blue maybe?) makes it stand out to all the HR guys, but I've never tried that.

No, it looks bad.
All that centering makes my eyes hurt
And the font for the subjects are too big and bold
Make the subjects and first column left aligned and make the rest of the columns right aligned and see how that looks.

Telephone in  (800).555.5555 format

I'm unsure about the "Second Year, University of bla"
I forget if its supposed to be 2007-2011...


But I'm sure about the phone number format.

saved

now i'm going to kill you

Don't be alarmed but you just posted your phone number on the Clock Crew forums.

HAHAHHH nigga how old is u 12 ur axin a forum full of niggaz jwhackin it this very second an u guna ax dem about a resume nigga u ain real smart is u

Looks great.  My Economics teacher for  some reason taught us a lesson in resumes, and he said it's a horrible thing to make it more than one page, so you should definitely make sure not to extend it.
It gives a history of stuff you've done without making it an autobiography.
I'd say it's pretty damn good.

an BTW ur resume looks lyke shit y tha fuk u speak espanol if u livin in canada dese crakaz dese dayzxs

The objective is weak.
Arrange the contact information better.
Experience section is good, but the rest shouldn't be centered like that.

it looks very organized and neat.
i think you should keep it simple like you already have it.

impressive background, i like it

but you need to improve the format dude, make something different that will put yourself above other applicants... the important thing is to difference yourself from the others, and an impressive background is not enough... work on the format,  make something original, cool, that will call attention

Oh, if you are doing electronic submissions, i.e. monster.com, careerbuilder, or uploading to a company's website that doesn't have .doc or .pdf support, you should make a simplified text only version.  When HR people print them out, it can get really fucked up if you have crazy formatting or lines that are too long to fit on a page.  Always send .pdfs if emailing.

i.e. a version that would look good posted on this forum.

TEH NOES

By the way I do not have experience in resumes but...should 'independent' and 'team player' really be in the same line?

Circut city job part you spelt customers "costumers." Hate to be the spelling nazi but they look for that shit as a sign of weakness.

This is an example of a good resume:

http://www.octopus.fuckyouanddie.com/school/CV_ROELPOMPE_OLD.doc

That's how we were told to make it when I studied International Business and Management.

If you can't make an Objective better than that weak-ass one, just get rid of it. The industry is really torn on whether to include those or not anymore anyway. Half the people say just axe those and write a kickass cover letter, although personally I prefer a stronger Objective and General Description and a light cover letter, because I waste so much time on those things and I can't post personalized cover letters to Careerbuilder or on my website, for obvious reasons.

Also, make certain your resume is on your website and searchable by Google. I've gotten a few job inquiries just through that alone. But if you do that, you need some specific keywords for specific skills in your resume, like applications or languages you're familiar with (like Photoshop, or Spanish, or C++, etc.) because that's what they'll google search for.

As for the one page thing, if you can fit it on one page that's great, but a 2 pager that's well designed and points out the right information clearly isn't going to cause people to pass over you. Anything more than 2 pages, though, is incredibly risky.

Also, from what I've heard, people who look at your resume (not HR, but if it gets passed HR) are looking for what makes you unique and well-rounded and stick out from the pack, so they like to look for some sort of personal interests of some sort (whether it be organizations or whatever). If they see a bunch of resumes that all have a bunch of graphic design experience, but one resume that has that AND he's an avid Waterskiier? Well, that makes you easier to remember and they're more likely to look into you. It's also nice if you can show that you have passion for the industry outside of "I just want to make lots of moneyz and don't care what I do, this is just what I ended up being good at and getting experience in."

Also, if you can list specific ways in which you provided value to the companies you worked with, that's generally good. Personally I'd also put the most recent experience first, not the oldest. Also, you generally only want to put job experience that's directly relevant to the type of job you're looking for and/or accounts for your work experience for the last 2-3 years, so personally I'd get rid of the Tele-poller, and *maybe* the Circuit City job, unless you're really just going for 'whatever work I can get', then maybe those should stay.

Anyway, I've got my resume up here (minus the personal info), so maybe it'll give you some ideas. It's not necessarily perfect, and the next time I clean it up I already have ideas to make it better (for example, it was dumb not putting my job titles in this), but it's the resume I used to get my current job.

If you're desperate for work, I've found that temp agencies in general are usually pretty good at finding work for you. I hate to apply to places, so before I had industry experience, I always worked through them. They will actively determine your skills and try to find something for you.

P.S.Get rid of your high school in there. If you list a University, it's assumed you graduated from high school, and no one gives a shit where you went for high school, just that you graduated.
