[QUOTE="britz, post: 350738, member: 7865"] I have applied for teaching jobs and have tweaked my resume several times. I think it is pretty standard to have a resume that is no more than one page, easy to read, and organized in one manner or another. The purpose of it is not to give your life story, just to give a brief glimps at the skills you have and relevant work experience and or training. I usually go w/ bullets organized in education, work experience, skills/ and or specific job requirements you have fulfilled. In the construction trade work experience and references trump most others. I suspect that the field you are trying for would be similar. I agree that your age should be hidden somewhat (no offense man!) I would go back 10-15 years and be brief about things that you don't think will give you an edge. Don't leave a gap in your work experience - that looks suspect. List chronologically and start w/ most recent. There are lots of resume building tools online or in the PC itselve -microsoft work has a resume making template. I am assuming that the application for the job will have a spot given for references. Hope this helps, and sparks others to comment. Good luck w/ your pursuits! Mark. [/QUOTE]
