I am currently doing an outline of an oral presentation on “How Resume Inflation is Detected and What are the Consequences.”

So far the following introduction and main points are all I can come up with. I need to make the intro capture more attention, and I’m not sure if these are the main points that I should hit in order to get the message accross to the audience. Any suggestions on how I can make this better?

I. Introduction
Many of you will be crafting resumes soon after college to gain a position in the career of your choice. But after you have finished the final stages of perfecting your resume, take one more look at it and ask yourself, did you accurately convey your experience, achievements, and education?

II. Body
A. What is resume inflation.

B. How resume inflation is detected.

C. What the consequences are for inflating your resume.

Of course, resumes are part of real world in getting employed. And I am certainly aware of that fact, and I certainly know that it must be free of grammatical errors.

Why would a resume gets discarded for mentioning one’s age despite the experience and qualification he/she has? Yes, I know that one shouldn’t include personal information.

But as long as he/she doesn’t mind mentioning his/her age, I don’t see anything wrong with that.

I have never auditioned for anything besides the high school play. My local theater company is putting on a production I love, and I’d really like to give it a shot. They want me to bring a headshot and resume. How do I do that?

And what should I prepare for the audition? I sing soprano. I’ve never done anything like this before. Any help or advice would be much appreciated!

Resume Outline FAQ:


I am applying for jobs but it seems that many companies post job listings on job search websites as well as on their company website. If I post a resume for a position on a job search website and then again on the company website for the same position, would it make me look bad if they see my resume multiple times? What about posting it on multiple job websites? Or should I just go ahead and do it?

Thanks.

In high school I had all kinds of clubs to join and played a sport, and it paid off, I got into the college I wanted. But it turned out that I couldn’t afford 4 years of it so I decided to start off 2 years at a community college. Only problem is that there aren’t really that many clubs and the sport I play they don’t have a team for. I can’t find a job currently either. How am I supposed to make an impressive resume solely based on my grades?

Resume Outline FAQ:


I am 13 and I have been acting for almost 7 years. I have done some plays, but never gotten a lead (even though I have the potential to do so). Most of my plays have had male leads. I have done musical theatre and wanted to continue at one theatre and try out for their company program so I could get a chance to audition for their productions, but I moved later that year. I also did a movie last year (as an extra because there were no roles for my age) and the casting dirrector said that she really liked me. Although I have had much experience, I dont really have any that would impress an agent enough for him or her to represent me. I was wondering if anyone knew of any sites with information about play and mini films or things of that such (I would prefer films because Im not that fond of singing anywhere other than my shower =)) so I could build up a resume. I am 13 and the closest big city that I live near is Atlanta, GA. I would also like to hear about acting classes too . Thanks

I have just started an part time internship with one org. I will be interviewing with another one this Thursday. (According to the listings I should be able to do both as they should not conflict with each other time-wise or issue-wise.)

However, since I just started, I can’t really list any accomplishments or tasks under this current internship. But of course I don’t want to lie and leave it off my resume.

Of course, the interviewer may not even care that I have another internship and may not ask for an updated version of my resume. However I do want to be prepared. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I haven’t worked for a year. On the resume, do I need to somehow write something in for that gap? I have a feeling that is the reason behind the lack of calls or emails I get in response to my resume.

I know how to deal with the gap at interviews, but do I need to fill in the gap somehow?
How would I deal with the gap on paper? Do I write like April 08-Present: Took time off to concentrate on school or what not?

I am going to be a junior in college this fall so I don’t have much professional experience working with investments. I do have experience in investing and trading stocks though. So if I were to add the following items on my resume under the “Hobbies and Skills” section, would it look impressive or would it look no good. All of the following is true by the way:

·Has a passion for researching equities.
·Recently started managing $90,000 of family portfolios, which include equities and options.
·Realized a 40% gain year over year in a model portfolio from 2006-2007.

As I said, this would be listed under the “hobbies and skills” section of the portfolio. I also have a few more things listed there so it is not like this is the only thing.

Thanks for answers.

I am currently working a temporary job through a staffing agency. I am technically employed by the staffing agency, not at the business where I work. How can I note this on my resume? Do I put my position with the company I’m working at as “Temporary Employee,” or do I list my employer as the staffing agency and indicate where I specifically worked in the job description? I am concerned that if I just indicate the dates I worked at the company, it will look like I just quit after only a month. Any suggestions?

I am in high school and want to apply for a job at the fair as a candy attendant, but am unsure of what to include as I have never written a resume before. I am really good academically, but does that matter in this job? I have won academic awards, service awards, and have been on the honor roll. Include those? Should I also put I have taken three years of home-ec as the job does require the making of cotton candy, etc. But I took home-ec in middle school, would they care about that? Should I also include things I did in elementary school, like monitoring the lower grades at lunch hour?

So I guess what I am asking is if someone can run down the things I should include and the format, and what things I should omit. Thank You.
And the application also has a spot (online application) for “Comments to the Recruiter or cover letter.”, what do I do there?
It specifically asks for the resume, I thought it was silly also, but I want to do it right and make a good impression. I can also use and modify it for other jobs I might be applying for in the future.

Also do employers care about my first job as a dishwasher when I was 15? I’m 23 now.

According to some resume writing tip websites, “The ‘Summary’ or ‘Summary of Qualifications’ consists of several concise statements that focus the reader’s attention on the most important qualities, achievements and abilities you have to offer. Those qualities should be the most compelling demonstrations of why they should hire you instead of the other candidates.”
Isn’t that what a cover letter is for?

Resume FAQ:


Unfortunately and unbeleiveably my boyfriend has been searching for a job since he graduated from college in December of 2004.

In May, he was hired at a company, only to be layed off at his 90 day review along with 6 other people.

So my questions are

1. Should he put the one job he was layed off from on his resume at all? He does not want to and is not planning on it. I’m just wondering if that is okay.

2. He read that when an employer sees a gap in a resume they automatically dismiss the resume without even asking for an explaination, presumably because they figure the person is hiding something or was fired. So the gap should be explained in a cover letter.
Is that true? Should it be brought up in the cover letter? Should he say he was unemployed for that period of time?

All help and ideas welcome.

Thanks!!!
In response to some of your answers

He has tried to get a job everywhere! Literally. He is not lazy and he does want to work. He has health insurance through disability for a problem in his leg and his back - although you wouldn’t notice it. If he works a certain number of hours he loses his health insurance, which he has to have for his heart condition. Therefore the job must be full time with benefits.

He’s tried fast food, drug stores, etc. - they took one look at the application, saw his degrees, and politely told him he’s overqualified. He’s thought of taking his degrees off his resume!

The jobs (in his field) his education qualifies him for require a minimum of 3-5 years experience, some require over 10 years.

He has tried going out of his field. No one realizes how hard this man has been tring to get a job. He finally got what he thought was his dream job, just to be layed off 3 months later. He never received a letter or anything, they told him in person.

I recently modified my resume to better reflect my skills and accomplishments. The new resume is a signficant improvement.

I’m thinking of sending the new resume to several companies who already have the old version.

I believe the new resume will be a better advertisement for my skills and I believe that sending the new copy will be a way to make sure that I am still in their mind.

The downside is that I could annoy the employers and they might question why I made the changes.

I keep calling a naval museum about a position I’m interested in; met all the qualifications, my resume’s been looked at by a career counselor, etc.

I passed the first interview with a supervisor; now I need to get a second one with HIS boss. I’ve been calling for several weeks (about 3 months or so). Should I continue to bug the crap out of these guys?

Likewise with similar jobs, how long would it take me to call someone before I am granted an interview? Does calling them once a week help anything? I understand that they are busy and such; it’s just that I would like a job that would help put me through a master’s degree program.

At the moment, this is getting QUITE FRUSTRATING and I feel like I should give up and start some crappy home-based business.

I have a language degree, and I worked at a grocery store for a long time, and also do some work on ebay, but what does that have anything to do with teaching?

Here is the thing. I will have just graduated high school this Thursday (29 May 08), and I think now is a good time to start applying for jobs. Many jobs require you to have a resume, but I do not have any experiences to put down. I’ve never done any after school activites, because I have wanted to focus on school. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Resume FAQ:


I was wondering since I have to submit one for a bio-medical type thing fairly soon. My resume is kind of going crazy, I am in the process of trying to prioritize things. I am getting rid of some unnecessary bullets because there is really too many things to put on one page. That means that my resume is somewhat bulky with past experience that I deem very critical, though I am trying to make it not look as overwhelming.

One of the things I did to help make it look more appealing was add a sophisticated looking border around the edges of the paper. Nothing fancy, just a line, and I personally think it relieves the text overload. But is that okay to do in a resume?

I’m getting ideas for doing a letter of interest and resume, and am thinking of sort of copying what the examples have to say and incorporating my own stuff. However, whenever I get done, I read it and it sounds almost robotic, and like I’m too enthusiastic. For instance, closing by saying “Thank you for your time and I look forward to discussing this wonderful opportunity with you.” I feel really cheesy! Is it supposed to sound like this, or should I redo it somehow? Thanks for the help!

Resume FAQ:


I am currently searching for a new job and am concerned because my financial stability will only sustain me through the end of this month. I am curious if anyone know how long it takes after submitting a resume to typically receive a response back if the hiring company is interested in your resume. I am not sitting around waiting for anyone, being that I am continuing my job search, but I am still curious, as I have sent out almost fifty resumes and have not gotten a response in the past week and a half….it’s just a little frustrating.

Resume FAQ:


I’m trying to reformat my resume in hopes to find a different job. The one I have right now sort of just looks like a laundry list of everything I’ve done. I’m wondering if it’s worth to invest money into a resume writing service, and if so, which one to choose. There’s so many out there on the internet and they talk about how some companies use the same templates over and over while others custom write. They also differ between using online questionaires and actual phone interviews to obtain information about you. In the end, is it just better to write it myself? I’m not confident I could get it to come out as well as a professional.

Resume FAQ:


I am moving to a slightly bigger city than the one I work in now. I’ve been working at Subway for about six months. We are small enough that we have no assistant manager salary. Instead, my manager gave me assistant manager duties and said I could tell my next employer I was the A.M. When I move I need a job that pays approximately 8-10 dollars an hour and gives me about 35-40 hours a week.
Therefore I thought it would be ideal to become the real assistant manager of a Subway restaurant in the new city. But I don’t know whether I should bring a resume with me when I apply.

What do you think?

I have taken intensive Spanish lessons for a little over a month, and I will be continuing these lessons for the next 8 months, up until I move to Spain. I study hard, and practice often. On my resume, how should I explain my Spanish skills? I would definitely not say “proficient” in Spanish, because I wouldn’t be able to interview in Spanish, so I guess I’m looking for a word that means a little less than proficient.
