Members Lucius Posted August 27, 2012 Members Share Posted August 27, 2012 Don't ever leave it for more than a couple years even if you're not in the job market. I've had sooo many projects since the last time I've updated. Do you guys put {censored} down that you've forgotten how to do? I used to be the master of writing resumes, now, I'm so scattered it isn't even funny. Oh, I'm applying for an Associate director of Oceanography at the university so wish me luck. Cheers, Lucius PS: And my writing completely sucks notice all the poor grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TomCTC Posted August 28, 2012 Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'm in the same boat at the moment, though not applying for nearly as awesome of a position. It's a total nightmare. Resumes/the whole hiring process are their own worst jokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stevetemp Posted August 28, 2012 Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 There's very few things in our normal course of life worse than updating resume, filling job applications, and interviewing for a job. Obviously, if someone cut off your d!%k and shoved it down your throat...well that would suck too. I mean "normal" stuff. My sympathies Lucius...stay in good cheer. AD at "the university"...holy {censored}...big leagues huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FourT6and2 Posted August 28, 2012 Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 I have the good fortune of working in an industry where your resume is literally just a list of where you've worked and who your clients were. The important thing in my line of work is your portfolio of actual work, which is a HUGE bitch to organize. But my resume is pretty much just: Experience:Agency 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LIBBY! Posted August 28, 2012 Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 I ended up totally re-writing mine, it needed a makeover anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members satannica Posted August 28, 2012 Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 I had mine written by a Rec-to-Rec bloke, basically high-powered recruitment consultant to the recruitment industry. One of the perks of getting made redundant by Sony Computer Entertainment. They really took care of things! It's nearly always got me at least a call back for what I'm applying for.

Members NinjaRaf Posted August 28, 2012 Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 I just did mine. I work on so many projects that I cant possibly list them all on there and keep it at a single page, so I trim things, put the biggest stuff on the resume, and let them ask me questions and fill in the gaps during the interview. Coverletter helps with that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
