At some point in the last two months I opened the last Jobspage
post to identify stuff to do. Then I
grabbed the notes from the resume folder.
My notes in there say that I have a variety of resumes but they can be
seen as either short or long one. I had a long resume that I would like to rebuild as a short one. This newest version places the education
elements on the top because I recently graduated.
I had identified what kinds of terms
and formats I should use to list my MA.
While it seems that Job seekers use simple postings because education is
less important than employment, the academic listings showed a little
more. First degrees should be written as
initials and there should be a minimal note of specialization, concentration or
emphasis. I may add publications or
recent conferences. I should also have a
section where I describe my background supervising classes, caring for
equipment and coordination. I should
also have a section on skills, techniques, interests, training or
research. I noticed that resumes listed
skills (GIS, surveys, English) as a narrative or in a special section and I
shouldn’t list my certificates (GIS, TESL) but may discuss qualifications.
Next, my review showed I found that
experiences referred to work.
In the employment section I have a
single entry that lists my four years of projects with PG&E.
Things that I focused on in a reread in
the jobs areas were companies, departments, projects. I noted that each job comes with
benefits. However, I am not certain what
I meant by this. I think that each job
come with things that you may do that you can’t do at other jobs and not
medical or etc benefits. I noted that I
would need to list out how these are referenced.
