~.: Suddenly, job-hunting just got alot harder. I couldn't live with Kristie as a real mother. She dropped quite alot of pressure on me at dinner tonight. Thanks for organizing my priorities. I first need to find a suit, then find a job, then find a car (or maybe find a car and then a job, because I'm magically going to be able to pay for the

You've basically just summed up my life since May. So I know exactly where you're coming from. And yes, it does suck hardcore. I've wanted to cry almost constantly for the past 5 months

I LOVE YOU. Seriously. Though, I know if I told Kristie simply that I'd keep her suggestions in mind she'd say, "Well, you don't have time to be considering things. You need to jump in and start saving money, because you need a car, and you have alot of school loans you need to start paying back in six months." That's exactly what she'd say.

But your advice sounds better- it's more constructive anyway. And could you look over my resume? It's really simple- too simple, I think, but I don't know what else I can add to it. I didn't feel like keeping the one that Monster built for me because it looks too .... like Monster built it for me. I wanted something that I put together myself, but I'm too frustrated with Word to format it any fancy way. :

Well, like I said, tell you appreciate the suggestion, but it's still your decision. And if she brings it up again, don't talk about it.

Yeah, you never want to go with those online resume builders. They're way too cookie-cutter. You want your resume to stand out. And simple isn't always a bad thing, especially for someone like you and me, who haven't had a lot of experience. Most resumes should really be kept to 1 page, because chances are that the person looking at your resume will be looking at plenty of others, and won't have time to read a novel. My professor told me that: "If they can't what they need in a few minutes, then they're just going to push that resume aside."

Go ahead and send me your resume, I'd be glad to look at it.

Mine is one page, and I heard that the average employer spends 3 seconds looking at a resume, so if we can't get our point across in three seconds, we're doomed. 8D But I'll go ahead and email it to you. Should I send it to your school email or are you using a different now?

My school email isn't active anymore. If you sent it there it would forward to my gmail address.
