How to update my resume
It made me
feel confident
 "Updating and rewriting my resume made me feel so much more confident in the skills I do have and more comfortable in applying for jobs."
How I did it: I read a great article about how to write a great resume and implemented some ideas I'd taken from it. I found a few jobs worth applying for which my current work experience was relevant to, looked up some sample resumes of others in the field and rewrote and reshaped my entire resume using these examples. Doing so made me feel so much more confident in the skills I do have and more comfortable in applying for jobs. Lessons & tips:

How I did it: I'm taking a "technical writing for health professions" class, and our first assignment was a resume and cover letter [for an actual job we wanted]. Our professor went over ways to make your resume look and sound good without lying, bragging, or just making crap up. Since it was a graded assignment, I worked hard on it, had it edited and reviewed, revised, and turned in. Hopefully I get a good grade :} and now i have a good resume for if … Read how I did it…

How I did it: I just stopped for a while and rewrote it. It's funny how your perspective can change just in a few months. It's good to update your resume once in a while. It can help you realize how good you are, what you have accomplished so far and what you still need to do. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I started doing this at the beginning of the summer but ended up getting a job & procrastinated finishing it. Now that I'm unemployed again it became a necessary evil. If I really want to go above & beyond I should take it to Career Services for assessment. I'll consider that step when I apply for real jobs post-graduation. Read how I did it…
How I did it: That meant i had to hire help with the housework so mil can look after baby. So back to the work force i go, while i was taking calls to go down for an interview, i was typing up my resume. i sent in half done ones, ones with no references. no prizes for guessing which version of resume got me the job. yup, the complete one. no regrets. love my job, it's just so much of work but work is work. after work, comes income. for one, the hb can … Read how I did it…
How I did it: Asked friends for samples of theirs to help remind me of things that I have done that I can add. It helped to think back on all the volunteer work I had done to make my resume more well-rounded :) Read how I did it…

i started this today. i have been trying to remember where i have worked and looking up addresses. i started writing them down in pencil. i used to have a resume, but it seems that it is long gone. i could always ask h.r. for a copy of my resume, but i don’t want stuff to seem fishy to my workplace.

Well I haven’t managed to update my resume yet. It needs a complete overhaul. Since my last job hunt in 07 I’ve: changed positions/been promoted twice, added about a half dozed committee appointments and other service, taken a contract (2nd)job, and shifted into a new field.
The best I am shooting for this month is coming up with a running tally of projects and committees

revising some academic projects brings me some memories. most of them were not good but it was necessary so i could overcome all those emotional crap i was going on that time. my priority now is my resume (the document and the linkedin profile)

checking my bank balance to see what kind of food I’ll be eating for the week. So I’m going to apply for a job and see how it goes. Spent ages updating my resume, didn’t realise I’d done quite so much as I have! :D

I started doing this and it’s a good resume. I just need to make it stand out more. Jazz it up. Give it some pizazz! I need a good summary at the top :)
AccebKidrah Is inspired by all the bloggers/writers on 43things!!! Thanks! :)
Resume to me sounds like the word resume. Since I just graduated from college, I want to create a better resume and apply at Mosaic (a place for developmentally challenged adults).
I hope I get the job. I plan on applying and submitting my resume tomorrow.

Mere asks,
“Does anyone know of a good resume writer? My resume needs rewriting. Want to change fields, get out of the present one and move to something I really want to do.”
