make it “organized A Taste of Thailand” so you have all past tense
Capitalize “Summer,” “Fall,” and “Spring”
change “guess” to “guest”
other than those things, it looks fine
I think it is a good start. I would definitly add some more things in there though.wow you have done a lot!
You have an impressive list of professional accomplishments, but you need to simplify. People looking at resumes generally spend 3 seconds looking at the paper. If they can’t get everything they need in those 3 seconds, they don’t call you back. I worked in Human Resources Hiring Department, so I do know what I’m talking about!
So, what you need to do is something like this:
At the very top, you want your name. Directly underneath that, you want your address and contact details (all on the same line. ) For example:
GRETA GARBO
12-34 56th Street• New York, New York 12345• (123) 456-7890•youremailaddress@yahoo.com
NEXT, you want to put the title of the job you’re looking for, for example:
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSOCIATE
THEN, you want a bullet-pointed summary of your qualifications. For example:
SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS:
• A highly organized and detail-oriented Administrative Associate with over 3 years of experience, providing support to senior executives.
• Dedicated and focused; able to prioritize and complete multiple tasks
• Motivated professional with excellent research skills.
•Computer skills include: MS Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Quark, Publisher and Internet
• Languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, French
THEN, you write a short paragraph like this, titled
SEEKING: And you tell them VERY BRIEFLY what kind of a job you’re looking for and why.
FINALLY, you list your professional experiences, like this:
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Joe’s Coffee Klatch, New York, NY
Administrative Associate, 07/2005 – present
• Provide overall administrative support
• Managed office communications• Maintain and format client database (daily)
• Maintained high level of customer service
Follow the same format with the next job and the next job.
I hope this helps you!
Explain what some of your duties were in these positions.
I was in charge of finding location’s, catering, travel arrangments, lodging, security,etc. You need to add more detail, after all, your trying to “sell” yourself for this job. If they know that your capable of doing all this, it can only be a plus. Good luck!
Listen to margerat above. She is right on. Good luck
