Looking for a employment in the Chicago land area. I have attached my resume, and would be glad to here form prospective employers or referrals.

Thank you.

Well on the job hunt again; turns out the owner of the place I am currently at is more promise than delivery.

After conversing with fellow employes and things the owner has said, I find that future prospects will be lacking.

So if anyone is looking for a good tech; shows up on time; L1 certified; likes to stay up to date with current and future tech; please give me a shout.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

The economy + trying to sell my house will probably keep me up here for the foreseeable future; though it is tempting.

Thanks.

Updated resume.

This is getting monotonous.

Updated resume.

I would appreciate that.

Thanks.

You need to check your grammar, spelling and punctuation.
If, I was a prospective employer, you wouldn't make the first round with that resume.

I'm not trying to be a dick either   I tell it like it is, so don't take this the wrong way and get all butt hurt. You need a lot of help. It's pretty terrible. Someone looking to hire you, isn't interested in your road testing capability. They want to see your skill information and schooling info too. Don't make it long and drawn out with frivolous information, like coordinating RO's ETC.

If, I get some time this week, I'll be glad to work on it to try and help you  

I can tell you up front. You need to add the reference information. This is key to making a good impression.
Without it, and having upon request, it makes you look lazy

LOL!  i did that too  .  for the most part no one knew what it was, but it sure was a good conversation starter  .

Here's a quick edit.  Don't substitute and, for & in a resume   Substitutions make you look lazy.

Try to remember, it's in the details. Glaring omission of details will kill you.  The word, Driveability is not hyphenated    

I'm not claiming to be MR RESUME, but I know people that hire and we always talk about the details missed. Just like the job.

Thanks.

How detailed were you with employment history?

Is this better?


Tom pointed out a grammar error as well.

Resume with employment history. I left out personal refs, being that this is a public forum.

isn't that more of an application thing than a resume thing?

Who would you rather have had the first say in it? Your previous employer or you?

Curios if you ever got a job?
