what job is this for? if there's anything remotely computer related I would put basic microsoft office shit on there. it's rarer than you think, being proficient in Excel can up your starting salary 10k do you have any scholarships? societies? also you should DEFINITELY have a statement at the beginning "Searching for an entry level position in blahhhhhhh" | ||

1. I like how you were specific in mentioning "Ropak, Orbis, Xytec, etc." Specifics and examples are good. More would be even better (for example, was there a big case you helped with in your internship? At least what kind cases were they?). Another thing you can do is mention some sort of volume - "tracked inventory of 100,000 items," "trained 5 new employees each month," etc. 2. Keep your tenses the same. I believe you should be using past tense for everything that you've stopped doing, and present tense for things you're still doing (ex. so as a kitchen worker, you greeted and served customers.) 3. What is your role as a current member of the Supply Chain Management Association? You might as well leave it out if all you're going to say is "current member." | ||

Any languages you know (if more than just English) and what level of competence. If it might be relevant to the job, maybe whether you have a driver's license and such. | ||

Inspecting Training Loading Packing or Inspect Train Load Pack etc. Again, under the first part of work experience you have Observed blah blah blah Researched blah blah blah Organizational work around the office. verb verb noun is jarring to me Under dining services you have mixed tenses: Greet / Assisted / Tracked Need greeted Put your current work above work you have finished to maintain chronological order unless the work you finished is directly related to the job you are applying for. | ||

- Firstly, use CV (it sounds better and resume is a little dated language). You can also format it a bit nicer (i.e. use headers/footers and put lines there and page numbers). - References and academic transcripts should be included. Ask for letters of recommendation from previous employers. - Describe your work activities in more detail. When writing, keep in mind 3 things: 1. What you did. 2. How you overcome it. 3. The results (don't forget this important point). For example, for one of your roles, you put "Research information relevant to cases". You can: 1. Describe what information was needed 2. What methodology / strategy you used to find the information. 3. Results of your research. - Follow this for each of the roles that you have written. For example, in your Warehouse role, you mentioned that you trained new employees. 1. How did you train them? 2. What issues arose and how did you overcome them? 3. The results (e.g. they fit into the company well and this lowered turnover, etc). - And then, you can describe challenges in your work (when you write this, keep the 3 points mentioned in mind). | ||

What is CV? I think most people just add "references available on request" at the bottom that i've seen | ||

do you have any specific experiences that would look good? numbers and details also help for example "managed a yearly budget of $50000 to make travel arrangements for over 50 players, coaches, and staff" looks much better than "assisted with budget for travel arrangements and on-field decisions" | ||
