Your not clean until your zestfully clean!

Ok, seriousness. Jac can be of better help here but...

I think you can clean up your objectives. Make them one coherent sentence and lower the buzzwords. (for example, urgency and fast paced are redundant)

Also unless you are applying for a company that might care remove Japanese classes. If you are applying for a 'professional' job (advertising, office work, etc.) I think you could remove Delta Sonic, though I don't mean to disrespect the quality work you did there. I also think you can remove your academic concentrations, I don't list my minor or concentration.

You don't want your best work(as perceived by who you are applying to) drowned out by sidenotes, I guess is my point. Quality over quantity.

I'm not much help since Joe just covered everything i was going to say. Your objective should be one line. Also, it should be tailored to the job that you want... right now it screams "OMG give me a job PURLEEZE!" and that you'll take any job. which may be the case... you'd have to tailor your resume to any job you apply for. This is the line where you say "To further my career in the :blank: field" If you apply for a marketing job, put that in there, if you apply for an administrative job, put that in there instead ( ... )

What's the point of reading the objective if it sounds like everyone elses? It's like it's there out of politeness instead of to tell you anything else about the person. I'll work on it tho. It is kinda redundant and does seem a bit desperate, now that it's pointed out to me ( ... )

PS: I had no idea what to do with that PA crap in NYC. Honestly it's there for the timeline. I just don't know what the hell they really care more about! The timeline or the experience! They're each different whenever I interview! Resume writing sucks. There are no rules, it's just what gets you noticed. grawr! *frustration abiding* mmm chocolate...

On my resume, the temp jobs i worked are under the temp agency... So i have the agency listed and the dates i worked for them, and then the companies and the experience i gained underneath. It makes the resume look less jumpy ( ... )

Ohhh perhaps I should list the temp agencies then. I'll give it a shot and see how it looks. Right on Jac!

And I'll work on the conservatism, cause that's something I'm really good at! lol
