PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION
Bachelor鈥檚 of Business Administration in Management DAVENPORT UNIVERSITY 2011
Income Tax Preparation Certificate JACKSON HEWITT INCOME TAX SERVICE|||Instead of listing your skills, prove that you have them. I suggest getting rid of that list (for the record, yes, you WILL see a list of skills in my question here on YA, but I did that on purpose to save readers from reading through my resume).
1. "Effectively handled" sounds a bit redundant. I might change that to "managed."
2. The "consistently . . ." line sounds way too wordy.
3. in the "Drove" line, was there only one mortgage you worked on, or should "mortgage package" be replaced with "mortgage packages?"
4. "high volume growth" %26lt;provide numbers in a manner your potential employer will understand, or leave that off. You worked at K-Mart as a cashier/sales associate. Don't talk up the experience if you can't provide proof. Honestly, after the feedback I've gotten here on YA, you might just want to leave that off entirely.
5. As a new grad, list your education first. Include a GPA if it's above a 3.2.
6. "key staff member" honestly makes me think of someone who's conceited, who thinks they are (or had better be hired as or considered as) this oh-so-important person. I might leave that off, or use different words that say you want to be a benefit to your employer, not so much someone who needs to feel important.
7. Replace "any professional environment" with "[your latest prospective employer]'s professional environment or business environment"
8. So you have "outstanding" organizational skills? I think your employer would believe you more if he heard it from your reference(s). Again, why should he/she believe you? Where's the proof?
9. You said "focused" twice within the same bullet. Don't do that. Ever.
10. "World class customer service" the first thought that went through my mind was, "pfft, what, at K-Mart? Give me a break." If you delivered "world class customer service" at some point, you surely were rewarded for it. List your cust. service awards/honors, or emphasize a reference from a supervisors who agrees that you were better than the rest. No proof? Employers don't want to hear it.
I hope that helps!
Furthermore, use several job hunting techniques. I would suggest the book, "What Color is Your Parachute?" They cover lots of the stuff that I talked about above and a whole bunch more, and also have like a dozen ways to job hunt, many of which I would have never thought of that made lots of sense.|||It's most likely that there's nothing really wrong. Look at the economy. No one hires anyone anymore. I applied to about 20 places (literally) and I didn't get a single dang callback.|||nothing is wrong with it, companies are just not hiring. im in the same boat! applied at about 60 different places, i got one call, but no interview|||Poorly written, too self-serving|||I don't like the set-up.
KEY SKILLS and PROFILE sections- completely useless- get rid of them. Instead use those skills to beef up your job history
This is an entry level admin's resume. You don't have a lot of experience, and you aren't getting a specialized degree.
