I'm beginning to think that a real hindrance to me landing a job interview could be my resume. I feel that my resume is poorly done and comes off amateurish. I'm sure perspective employers looked at it and wondered why I just didn't submit it in crayon.
Resume writing is one of the things that you learn at Spencerian College, which is where I graduated. But like most things at those fast track to a new career institutions of higher learning, they didn't teach me much, and I think they just gave me an A for trying.
I do not know the first thing about writing a resume. I need something that looks and reads professional and clearly communicates my objectives and skill sets. I need employers to see that I am qualified for the job I am applying for. Praise God, I was able to find someone who was willing to help me with my resume. I sent her a copy of my current resume, a description of my experience, and a link to job posting that best fits what I am looking for.
I guess what this boils down to is that I need help. I picked up everything and moved here to North Texas in the hopes of a career and new life. I am thankful for the opportunity but I can't do this alone. I am thankful that I have friends here giving me a place to stay. I am thankful for the contacts that I have made and the networking I have done. I am thankful for every lead that someone has past on to me. It helps, and has made my adjusting here very easy.
