Resume
 
Anyone her proficient in a resume writing and can take a look at mine? I am trying to make it more effective. I don't have a whole lot of skills and talent, so its not so easy to make a resume that stands out, and sometimes a unbiased set of eyes is good.



Thanks.

Everyone has a different style and approach. It depends on who your trying to sell yourself to IMO. My wife has done several but I wouldn't let her near my resume.....her line of work is nothing like mine and it just wouldn't look right for me.
Just my tuppence :)
Certainly get someone go over it and check for grammar and spelling. Also best to keep it clear, simple and don't clutter it with info that doesn't really matter, nobody likes waffle.
I'd also add, in case you haven't thought it, you'd might want to make sure all your personal info like addressess, phone number and the like are removed. Unless of course you don't mind.
Although I haven't offered to look at it myself I'm hoping someone can help.

Good luck

As clear and concise as that is, you may not want to word it quite like that on the actual CV.;)

Again, that's not filling me with confidence either.
