Compare your resume wi the samples below:\n\nhttp://www.resume-resource.com/samples.html\n\nHere are some tips:\n1. If you have less than 10 years of experience, you want your resume to be one page.\n2. Generally, clearly show your name, mailing address, email address if available, and best phone number(s) to contact you.\n3. Then show your education, work experience, any interests, achievements, and skill sets. Under your work experience, it is not a list of your job descriptions (this is a common mistake). You should instead indicate what you have accomplished and the results.  Use action verbs.\n4. If you are looking for your first job or intend to change job function / industry, you may want to state your objectives.\n4. There is no one “correct” format.  It depends on your profession and personal style.\n5. Also, try not to use technical words and jargons. Do not abbreviate.\n\nYou can post your resume at:\nhttp://www.monster.com\nhttp://www.careerbuilder.com\nhttp://hotjobs.yahoo.com\n\nOther good references are:\nhttp://www.vault.com\nhttp://www.wetfeet.com\n\nI would also go to your bookstore and find a resume book in the business/career section. You can also find more examples and templates online if you do a search.\n\nYou can send me your resume and I would be glad to comment on it for you.\n\nGood luck and have a nice day.

Fine tune your resume to meet the qualifications of the position.  Rearrange the skills to make the applicable ones more prominent at the top.\n\nAnd definitely continue to apply, if you're not picked for an interview.  Make sure you have written performance evaluations and understand the new position requirements fully.  Sometimes the grass isn't always greener, it's just a reflection of our thoughts..... \n\nGood luck..

You've gotten some good advice so far, but I wanted to add this to your list: www.wordtechs.com. These guys helped me with my resume and it had some tricky problems, too. Only cost me a few dollars, and it was done in a couple of days. They could at least offer you good advice.\n\nGood luck!\n~Tia~

Honestly most people get a job by word of mouth, knowing someone. But a lot of places require you to submit an on line application. But this might help. I found out that calling and asking to talk to the manager is good any way. \n\nI did that and the manager said he would watch for my application. Though I decided not to apply for that job. \n\nSo try every avenue you can to a get a job. Also go back after you put in an application and ask if they have hired any one. This got me a job one time. And dress nice even just dropping off an application. \n\nYou don't have to over dress. I don't know but to be honest dresses for women always look good and make a good impression or black pants and a white shirt, depending on the job. \n\nAnd smile and make polite conversation. I have had many part time jobs. And offered many more(some full time) and raises not to leave. But right now I will probably be doing some sort of job from home soon. Checking into it. \n\nThere are lots of little things you can do to increase your chances. Even reading a library book on resumes can help.

You have hope!  You'll need to start in an entry-level position, but keep an open mind and you'll find work.\n\nThe first step is not refusing work because you feel it's beneath you.  I was miserable most of my 20s because I felt I was under-employed.  But I acquired skills that lead me to better and better jobs.  You've got to start somewhere.\n\nTips for finding a job:\n1. Get up, get showered, get dressed every morning, just as if you were going to work.  No sleeping in, no spending days watching tv or playing on the internet.  Your job is finding a job.  Take it seriously.\n\n2. Leave the house and go to the library.  Then start your search - use library computers and newspapers to find job listings.  Make a list of jobs to apply for that day.  Apply for jobs on-line.\n\n3.  Return home and make calls/write letters/fill out applications.\n\n4. Spend at least 1/2 hour each day working on improving your resume and practicing interview skills.  Find books at library if you're not sure how to do this.\n\nGood luck!

Work Performance has always gotten me my positions.  I do not have a degree yet and honestly wasn't always qualified for the positions I have had in the past but it's all in how you word your resume to exemplify what you have done.  Be honest and really think about what you have done and you will be fine.

You have to start with a resume that says what you really want to do not something vague. Example: To find a job as a sales trainee where I can use my strong interpersonal skills. Lots of people put down something like I want a position that will afford me personal growth. That goes into the wastebasket. \nAnother mistake people make is to just look at help wanted ads. Only 10% of all jobs are filled through ads. Get out the yellow pages and look up companies that have the job you want. Call up and ask if you can fax over the resume and to who's attention. Follow up in a week with a phone call.

I am a vocational consultant and everyday I work to help people find jobs.  Here's what it comes down to;  Don't be afraid to call or talk to anybody.  Often finding a job is a numbers game.  Contact as many employers as you can.  By phone, by email, online.  Send out as many resumes (don't forget a good cover letter) as you can.  In interviews, it is important to be professional and likable at the same time.  Don't be afraid to utilize your schools resources.  Most schools have a career center or some sort of career services.  Certainly some are more helpful than others, but it is definitely worth your time to register with them and see if they can help you.  \nChecking out some career websites (monster.com, careerbuilder.com) can be helpful but some of them are also worthless.  Check out a few of the sites and determine which one tends to offer the most positions in your field.   Best of Luck to you!

Focus on what you CAN do well when you create your resume.  List your skills and abilities and tailor them to the employer's needs.  Think it through.  Take your time.  \n\nTake a look at the article below about transferable skills.  It can probably help you, too.\n\nWhy are transferable skills important? If you do not possess a great deal of experience in the field of work you are pursuing, you will need to attract the prospective employer’s attention by emphasizing the skills that you DO have which relate to the position you are interested in.
