Forget what people say about how it looks on a resume. This isn't the 1980's. Employers realize that people get laid off, transferred, or otherwise find other career alternatives. Gone are the days where people stay in one job for FOREVER, and keep moving up within the same company. It is not uncommon to find a longer career history than before. Some employers will get picky if you've had more than 2 to 3 jobs in the past five years, but that's only a few. However, I would try to stick with 2 to 3 jobs in 5 year time frame. It looks more stable, not like you're constantly looking for work.

I think the two factors that make a resume stand out are believeability and format. Are your skills highlighted, or your job history? Do you use a lot of fluffy language that makes you sound like you're trying to hard to impress them, or are you using facts? Is your resume too long...long resumes will be pushed to the back of the pile - see if you can't condense it!\nA resume is used to see if someone is qualified and if they'll fit in the workplace. If you want work, make sure your resume sounds like you'll fit in anywhere and that you have a variety of experiences that you can bring to the team.

Lying could get you FIRED and get BAD REFERENCES on your employment history.  not a good idea.  Why don't you find out if anybody has ENTRY LEVEL positions in your field, and apply for an entry level position to work your way up and gain experience.

I would use similar language, but not word for word.  When I am looking at resumes, I do notice that.  Just key in on how your skills and experience are similar to what's in the job description or advertisement.

Yes you should, first make yourself marketable, make a professional resume, post it and get some interviews going, then approach your boss or the decision maker and without being rude simply put the facts on the table, \n1. I am multifunctional and I feel I am an assett to this company.\n2. It has been brought to my attention I am over tasked and under payed.\n3. I feel I deserve an increase not only equivalent to the new hires, but slighty more for my senior status here.\n4. I am on the job market and I have XYZ offers, I am sorry to do this but I need to know where I stand with this company.\n\nthen shut up and make them answer you, you have power of negociation here, USE IT! good luck

I prefer a strictly chronological resume. You can add the relevant skills under each temp employer, but I like to know in what capacity and where these skills were put to use. The skills are much more meaningful when you can associate them with a particular job or assignment.

Depends on what the cause of the voluminous jobs is.  If it is part time jobs, leave the irrelevant jobs to the position you are applying out so that you can highlight the ones you want the hiring management to ponder. If it jobs that you had to ditch because you didn't like them or they didn't like you, omit them for the part-time position you had. Or if it was really short, like a month or two, just skip it.  If asked, advise that you had an intermittent job that you left out for brevity but would be happy to discuss.

It depends on the situation. I would probably call her first, and ask her if it would be ok for you to send your resume...

It's definitely a good idea to send out resumes as early as possible, it allows you to get a better feel of the job market and what your value is in that market.  Out of my last six jobs (ranging from $30K to $90k/year), I found four through head-hunters and internal references, two from Internet websites.  In general, the higher up you go, the less likely you'll find the job on line.  One nice feature is that most job websites will allow you to filter out certain companies from seeing your resume which will conceal your job-search activities.  \n\nWhile most larger companies have their own internal job posting websites, more and more companies are utilizing Internet websites such as Monster.com, Hotjobs.com, Dice.com, Craigslist.com given the low transaction costs.  But they get inundated with resumes and cover letters so it's difficult to make yourself stand out.  \n\nMy recommendation is that if you're serious about looking, do a more active and targeted search.  That means trying to find internal references (or use a service such as Linkedin.com) that will hopefully make your resume stand out a bit more.  My thought is that any job you take is a substantial commitment so you need to take an active role, even if the job search is just exploratory.  \n\nChecking company websites for job postings is sometimes a better solution than relying on Monster.com, etc...  It shows you did some research on the company and have an active interest.  Plopping your resume on Monster and waiting for responses is pretty passive and companies normally prefer more motivated candidates.  Also make sure to send out a cover letter with company specific reasons as to why they should hire you.  \n\nThe job market is improving for job-seekers but if you want to land the RIGHT job (as opposed to any job), you'll need to actively do some work to make yourself stand out.  Like most things in life, the results depend on how much effort you put into the task.\n-------------------------------------\nIf you have concerns that your resume doesn't represent you well enough, that's where your cover letter comes into play.    The cover letter is your opportunity to tell about the person behind the resume, why you're the right person for the job and why they should hire you.  As someone changing careers or industries, you need to actively sell that message which is why I don't recommend just passively posting your resume.  The cover letter and taking initiative to find the right company will help with that transition.  Good luck!

It depends upon the school, the position, and the number of applicants.  The rule of thumb, in my experience, is to wait a week and make a phone call.  Then, until they tell you to stop, keep making phone calls.  You absolutely won't get anywhere waiting for someone to notice you out of a 12" stack of resumes.

Yup.  they do it all the time.    Just work hard and you might get picked up by the company itself... or keep looking for better opportunities. \n\nCheers!

Does your resume show what specifically you want to do in the media? Think about what you really want to do and have your resume at the top indicate what you want to do. Don't submit a resume that says you want an interesting job and leave it to the employer to decide where to put you. He or she will drop your resume in the garbage. You need a sentence like you want to find a sales job where you can use your strong interpersonal skills for example. Most people get their jobs from people they know so talk to people you know and let them know you are looking for work. You can also get the telephone book and call places you would like to work. For example, if you want to do mortgages, go to the yellow pages and call mortgage companies and get the name of the person to fax or mail your resume to
