Stuff to Do

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.

Announcements

On 100814 I believe I wrote that I wanted to make an analysis of jobs offered and an analysis of jobs received.  I think it would be good to collect announcements and do a context analysis and then list out objectives and then produce an open coded categorization.  Then the analysis could interview or survey the employed and ask if the objectives were achieved and how to further develop the open coded categories.
