OP says, "Unless this is your first job out of college, put your education at the end of the resume and emphasize it as little as possible." It's not my real first job out of college, but it's my real first job in the field related to my degree out of college. I graduated in 2012, have been working in an unrelated field since. Should I still put my education on the bottom? I feel that my education is an important factor in this position I'm applying to (administrative work at an art museum). Edit: Is it also horrible of me to use "industry specific" words? IE: batik vs "rozome" (I studied textiles) Shnooks fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Jun 25, 2013 |

What's the consensus on objectives or summaries being on your resume? I remember hearing it's a waste of space, but I'm going through a resume work book and they suggest putting one in.

I think I checked off all the bullet points in the OP, so if it's not too much to ask can someone go over my resume? I'm trying to get a job more related to my degree but something I actually don't have too much experience in. This is my first draft of my resume, so I don't expect it to be pretty. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1286849/resume.docx

Bisty Q. posted:You should edit this to not include your real name/contact information. I guess I was under the impression that you explained your list of skills in your cover letter? I keep getting a lot of conflicting information about what I should do and should not do and it's getting confusing. I know it's a general resume, but for a few of the jobs I've been looking at (administrative positions in galleries and museums) I tried to hit the qualifications and skills that they list. The reason I had the non-degree seeking stuff was because at the time I was working on my resume I was applying for a position for an Asian art museum, and I'll probably apply to another. I'll remove it I guess? The problem with my current job at the vet is that I've been there about a year and I've really made no progress. It's not that my coworkers and manager don't like me, it's that they're very clique-y and unwilling to change how things are. It leaves me with very little room to learn and improve when I'm pushed aside frequently for someone who has been working with a doctor for 3 years and they'll never, ever, EVER get a new technician. This is partially why I'm trying to leave - there's no room for movement and even if I tried and bent over backwards (which plenty of people do and they look like dweebs in the process), I would get nowhere. I know clientele like me and I do pretty good at my job as my clinic manager has told me before, but because everyone is pretty set with how it was 10 years ago, nothing is going to really change. Other than changing it to fit each job I apply for (which makes sense and is what I was doing prior to re-vamping my resume), does it at least look OK?

When you email a cover letter as a PDF, do you still put the company's name, address, phone #, etc. with it? I have a letterhead that I made so it has my information, but I wasn't sure if I still include theirs.

Xandu posted:Seems unnecessary. Thats kind of how I felt. Thanks. Edit: Is it bad to send it as a .pdf? I feel weird sending it as a .doc or whatever because of all the tables I use. Shnooks fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Jul 30, 2013 |

Chaotic Flame posted:Are cover letters really this simple? I've been going about writing these all wrong. I always wonder the same thing. On one hand people tell me they are literally that simple, but then they link me to websites that tell me managers only want to read coverletters that are like short novels about your life and skills. I feel pretty confident about my resume, but goddamn writing cover letters makes me poo poo my pants. I'm so horrible at it.
