Resume edit?
Feb. 14th, 2008 11:02 amSo this was originally going to be a "hi, I'm still alive" entry, but I just had a rather odd conversation with a Staffing Agency Lady about my resume, in which she suggested a) listing all my temp work, so that there aren't any gaps on my resume and b) indicating on the resume that it was temp work, so that I don't look to be an unreliable employee.
As far as the latter goes, I'd been told by others not to indicate when something was a temp job; as far as the former, it makes sense in principle, but then my resume will be even longer, and it's already annoyingly long for a little 24-year-old secretary.
( Teh resume in question (experience section only)... )
Honestly it is probably due for a rewrite/reselection of jobs, but my brain was on other things, like, well, homelessness. I had thought it was at least serviceable.
Anyway, what the hell is up with this? Do I list temp positions as such? Do I fill up my resume with the boring stuff so that it looks like I have contiguous experience; should I then knock stuff off the bottom, even the showy stuff like the Open Hand job? Confused cannot brain.
