Looking for a job is tough enough, but now they say you need this thing called a resume. I have heard about them from time to time; but never really needed one. At my age all I have ever done is to walk into a company and inquire whether they were hiring or not. If they were, I would just sit down and fill out an application, and probably interview right then and there and get hired right on the spot. I don't even know what a resume should look like. I do know that it doe's require some employment history; but, beyond that I really can't tell you. I would like to find a professional writer and have them take care of it for me since I need it to apply for a very special job. I believe that I have found a really good resume writer, and have supplied her with all of the information that she has asked for. Of course, I had to give her all of my contact information; then she talked for quite a while about what I had accomplished over the years, I know that she was trying to get a grasp of my skills and knowledge. After this she wanted to go over all of my skills individually, I was impressed that she also utilized my transferable skills as well as my technical skills. I didn't realize how important these skills were, but when you think about it, it does make sense. Things that you have done all of your life are important with how you maintain your work habits such as your organizational abilities, whether you are a leader or a follower. Other things like, are you good at resolving problems or issues and how well do you communicate with others. There was a lot of information that I found out about myself and didn't even give it a second thought prior to this. When all was said and done I picked up my brand new resume; I astounded myself with all that I could do. It is apparently just how you represent yourself on paper in a formal manner. It was beautiful, nice, clean and crisp with an attractive header with my name large and bold followed by my personal contact information then below that was my skill set all across the top in nice neat columns) which again, were my (transferable and technical skills) incorporated together. Then a very strong summary about what I had accomplished throughout my career. It was very powerful and to sum it up; it basically showed what I had to offer a company, what I had to put on the table and here is why you want to hire me! Then this was all followed by my work history with small job descriptions followed by a couple of very appealing bullets of more notable accomplishments. They each had about 4-5 bullets for each position that I had held. We only went back three jobs, because that covered well over 13 years and there was no need to bore the employer with my earlier years; you can gain a lot of knowledge over ten years and that is about all that they need or want. Then education, and the last section covered was my community memberships, volunteer work and such; it looked really nice I must say. When you looked at it you could see that the top half of this sold me! You could find exactly what you were looking for; if you were looking for specific skills or accomplishments you knew exactly where to look. I loved it… I will be honest with you, I could have never done this; hiring a professionals was the smartest move I have ever made because this is what a resume SHOULD look like. sampling techniques essay
