Write a resume such that I feel good about it

My resume was always a bit incomplete because I just recently graduated.
Now it is done and I am proud.

I think this thing is completed. I like the resume I created, and I feel like it is a bit more personal than most of the ones I have seen. It accomplished it’s goal, and I start work next Monday… So other than tweaking my resume a bit, I feel good about it :)

I do believe I have a strong one but I am constantly updating it. :)

Finished all the school applications and set up my resume for the working world. It’s standard but I usually play with it depending on the job, emphasizing whatever (:

The whole grad school application thing has been a process. I recognized I have issues writing about myself and trying to sell myself. Not so much low self-esteem so much as just feeling my age.

I’m almost there though, with a lot of help from Dave.

like created, planned, initiated, designed, facilitated…
now I have an awesome job that I enjoy everyday!

Just graduated, need job.. so this must be done ASAP…

...So, setting aside grand experiments, today I focused on creating a barebones, functional resume conforming to the accepted wisdom, as simple as possible. I was imperfectly successful, but it was an interesting experiment—somewhat akin to writing haiku. Arbitrary and annoying and usually clumsy, but instructive nonetheless.

Of course, the problem with writing a resume such that I feel good about it is that if I actually succeeded, it wouldn’t look like a resume. And while I don’t mind being crazy and experimental, it’s a hell of a thing to do so while submitting applications to jobs. Perhaps I should design a series of experimental resumes and send them to jobs I don’t want, with little return-mail cards requesting feedback on the resume itself.

I’m probably going to be submitting my resume again, pretty soon, so I should probably invest a bit more into this one.
