Resume Depth

Hello

I'm writing my resume and I'd like your opinion. I've been an ER nurse for a little over a year and an ER tech for about 7 months prior to being a nurse. This adds up to just under 2 years working in an ER. Since I'm applying to another ER as a nurse, should I list other non health care related jobs on my resume e.g. cellphone repair technician; production machine construction electrician; retail sales? I guess if I can find a way to use the past experience into a marketable skill...

What do you think?

    You may need to include some or all of these to explain what you were doing at different times.

    I was told by a friend of mine who works in HR to leave the jobs I had previously that were unrelated to health care off my resume. Sure, they required skills I would be using working as a nurse but my resume was meant to highlight my specific qualifications in a "neat, short and sweet package." The unrelated jobs would be addressed through the company's application (if separate from resume) and in the interview. If the position you're applying for doesn't have a separate application for your additional background information then the jobs should briefly be mentioned on the resume. Hope this helps a bit:)
