New Grads and Resumes

Published

hi!

anyone up for swapping resumes for constructive criticism?

during my time in school i participated in many seminars to perfect resume writing and interviewing skills; which i am sure you did to! i was also a tutor for nursing students which i helped assist many students write their resumes and cover letters.

i thought this would be a great way to share ideas of what we learned and help each other make our resumes and cover letters stand out!

if you would like to participate pm me and i will give you my email address to swap resumes. please take off all identifying info (name, address, phone number) from your resume. i don't want o be responsible for it!

can't wait to swap resumes!!!!:wink2:

my advice would to keep your resume short and sweet.

mine only had my objective, my personal information, and my past employment. it also included the school i graduated from and the degree i got. i wasn't involved in ANYTHING outside of school so i didn't list any of that. mine was like 1/2 a page or something silly like that. anyway, i was hired without any problems. don't try to "over inflate" your resume too much - the longer it takes to glance over, the easier it is for someone to throw it in the trash.

Hi, Tclema

Would you please take a look at my resume? I tried very hard to find a hospital job, but only had two hospital interview so far.

I am wondering if my resume blocked the door. I log into my account and then click contact, and see you are online, but PM user is not working. Is it possible that I can get contact with you via email?

Thanks!
