OK, for those not wanting to download a .doc file (do doc files even have the capability to transmit bad stuff?) here is a website I made for it.
It’s a good thing OpenOffice allows saving as an HTML file. That file also has the changes that have been recomended so far. The formatting still doesn’t look perfect, but again, that’s due to the issue of stuff getting mixed up when saving in OpenOffice to an HTML file.
Now, on to the comments of those brave few who opened the sketchy looking (though perfectly safe) doc file:
even sven:
As far as the formatting goes, it showed up fine on my PC, but then, I saved it in OpenOffice as a MS Word document and I did get a message saying some formatting options may not show up. Since I have no office XP, I can’t see what those were, but clearly since they didn’t show up correctly for you, they wouldn’t for a propsective employer either. So I’m going ot have to figure out a way around that, and I don’t know what it is.
OK, I can change my objective to be job specific, but man, I am goin to have to be good about doing that with every job. Even worse than some generic objective is one for the wrong company!
As for work specifics, I can add some, at least for my last job. I can list the full inventory count and number of beds. As far as my lab experience…there aren’t really any hard numbers. In all honestly, 50% of my job was counting cells in pictures the grad students took, 40% was preparing the equipment (autoclaving, cutting glass slides,) and 10% was just random other stuff. I don’t think I can list anything for the asbestos job. I think the best I can do is just mention that on each jobsite I would have taken at least 25 air samples, but is that even relevent? I have no fucking clue how much asbestos I oversaw removed. I couldn’t even begin to pull out a BS number.
GPA? Not a chance in Hell is that going on there. I had a 2.7…if you round up. And I was hesitant to put the new member educatior because, yeah, for someone who was never in a greek organization, they don’t know what that would entail at all. And as far as the interests go, again, it was one of those things I was unsure of. Some resume help places say to out them on, because it makes you seem more “human”, and others say they are just worthless space. Consider them gone!

I mentioned the formatting issue earlier in this post, so go to the html link I provided to see what it should look like.
Like I sort of said with even sven’s suggestions, I don’t have a lot of hard numbers of key accomplishments. I’ll do my best, but there’s not much there. As far as just listing my core skills or something…I have none. At least, not really any major ones that deserve to be listed.
Anyway, the one I linked to in this post is updated, so everyone else can read that and be as harsh as you need to be.
