Okay, I need advice. See, I’ve only really had one job over the past 3 years. Different companies, but basicly the same job, and I didn’t have to try to get it.
So now I need a new job but have no idea how to go about getting one. I’m definately qualified, but my resume is pathetic, which is only mitigated by the fact that my cover letters are so bad that the reume probably never gets read.
So I’ve got a few questions…
First off, where is the best place to look for IS/IT positions? I would make a great jr admin or even a head admin for a smaller company.
How do you get references without letting on that your feet are itching? I doubt they’d fire me here, but you never know… we’re paranoid sometimes.
Should I try to get my resume to 1 page, or make it look nice on two? As is, with the minimum I can put on it, it’s at 1.5 pages. With 10pt fonts, it can almost fit on a page.
Are hiring agencies woth the hassle? They never were before, but I wasn’t very marketable then. (Self trained doesn’t get you very far with nothing else to back it up).
Must… get… out… of… this… place…
