Where are you applying? To be honest, I think it's extremely weak.
Posted by Irregardless (Member # 8529) on :
Extremely lame. I would definitely take out 'Ask for Nick or if he’s not there Christos' -- and what's the point of having 'Date Attended' on there? It's hard to interpret with the formatting so messed up, though.

Post it inside the code tags and it'll keep the spacing intact.

I'm applying for Harvies a fast food restaurant thats sells good food.
And how do I copy the code tags as well?

Hmmm, they don't have a standard application?

Boy is that ever a loaded statement.

Code tags work like the italics, bold, or url tags. You just put your resume inside of [code][/code]

You might want to remove your phone number from your post -- you're okay on Hatrack, but as a general rule, posting your number on the internet is not the best idea ever. Posted by Traveler (Member # 3615) on :

You should spell check. There is one mistake in the quote above that I saw immediately.
quote: Objective To expand my work experience by working hard in your establishment.
Also, in some instances you are using a ":" after items like 'Job Description:' and then you aren't using it for others such as 'Objective'. You should be consistent.
Why is your name third? When I look at resumes I like it when the name is on the top. I shouldn't have to search for your name.
I don't mean to pry...but I'm wondering how a fast food 'work experience' will help with your computer science career? Does your college have computer lab campus jobs or could you find a help desk job with some company? Those types of jobs will be much better in the long-term for you. Just my 2 cents.

You might want to look for some resume advice. Go to Monster.com's Resume advice page and peruse some examples.

I'm just getting a part time job to pay the internet bills. After all, with my Hatrack addiction......
The ":" is because in the MS Word document its better spaced and has style to it, this is just the information since i lack the means to upload to a server.
And I'll spell check it one moment.
:EDIT:
Okay Spell checking a edits complete. I'll check out that site now.

Your extracurricular activity shouldn't be sandwiched between your two work experience entries. Much better to make it a seperate section, perhaps with your interests and activites. I would put all of those below your work experience.
But, also, I would check on seeing if they have an application form they want you to fill out. No point in spending a lot of time on a resume if that's not what they use.

No I know a girl whose a supervisor, she says bring a CV. :/
Posted by HollowEarth (Member # 2586) on :
Since you know her,you ought to ask for a little more information about what they actually want to see.
