Resume Objectives

It’d depend on who’s more desperate. Given that men who lose jobs are in more trouble than women are, I’d carefully guess that it’s men who would be forced to lie.

"Have you ever done it or exposed it?" — No, I’ve never had to lie on my resume, because my resume is already 14 pages long and I’m tired of reworking it, much less, lying in it. As an ex-HR employee, I’ve had the opportunity to go through fake resumes, and confirm that they’re fake in a face-to-face interview.

I can’t figure out what to use as an objective on my resume. I’m not looking for any specific type of job. I’m open to almost anything. I’ve heard that it is best to talk about your skills in this case. However, a lot of my previous jobs are computer related and I do not really want a computer job anymore.

An objective is not an absolute necessity, so you may not need one. In any case, there is no ‘generic’ objective that will suit every job for which you apply. Your best bet is to tailor each objective to the job for which you are applying. For example: "A full-time position as XXX in XXX company" or "a customer service job in a fast paced corporate environment" or "a postion as market research analyst at a top rated agency"

The problem I have is I have a lot of work experience but much of it is self employed, contract work and i haven’t worked in one particular industry. when i browse those ‘how to write a cv’ books and sites, they always give examples where someone has worked in one field all their life. if anyone can suggest a way of going about writing the employment history part, i’d appreciate it. i get the feeling hr people tend to look at things generically.

It can be tricky.
If you listed every job, a potential employer could underline you as a "come and go", and won’t see you as a potential committed employee. Depends what the Company is looking for in a candidate. (short term/long term etc.)

Anyway, the best way to approach this, is to bulk them together under "various contract work" between "start date" to "end date" and outline the most frequent and most relevant for the job you are applying for.

Hi
I have been selling new and used mostly kids clothes on e-bay and have earned Power seller symbol award and bronze medal symbol for making good sales within one year and would like to add that to my resume .How do i do it?
Also i have been preparing taxes as my part time job gig and not sure what words to use as a job duties except tax preparer.

On your resume, list "Part-time Jobs".

Then explain each job like this: (under heading of Part-time Jobs)

2001-2010: Prepared both federal and state Income Tax Returns, using the following software programs: –…..– (list them)

2008-2009: Sold new and used children’s clothing on E-Bay. Earned "Power Seller" symbol, and Brone Medal symbol awards for quality and volume of sales within one year.

Hope this helps

I am a hard working, reliable person. I have very good time keeping and excellent communication skills. I am eager to learn new skills and adapt to changes easily.

It should be no more than 3 lines long. They want a quick example of your skills not a 5 page story of your life.

What are some things that can be done to a resume to make it standout more and be noticed by an employer?

high lite the length of your previous employment, that’s the one of the first things i look at to see how many jobs and how long

i have been working since august at a small restaurant that only serves falafel. but i was searching for jobs and a burger king by my house is hiring but i need to submit a resume and i do not know what to put. like would it be all right to put this as my resume objective …."Seeking a position within the Burger King`s fast food hospitality. Eager to learn and open to tackling a range of tasks" ANY IDEAS?

you could put that but honestly i dont expect theyll really care. ive worked in burger king and mcdonalds and they have to ask things like ‘why do you want to work here’ i couldnt think of an answer for that but then they specifically said its a stupid question so it didnt matter that i didnt answer

it would be best if your could just give a website, or copy & paste it into the answer. i need it because im not too sure how to make one exaclty!
