submitted by GG_oatnut

Hello TRP. I'm looking for some feedback on my resume. Any advice is appreciative and will aid me in getting a job.

Are your accomplishments your own or your teams? Stop saying 'as a team' and instead say 'lead a team'. Equally stop with 'our department' and say 'my department'. Text is a difficult medium to convey dominance which is why you have to be that much more dominant.

Hey thanks for the reply. It was our accomplishment. I didn't actually lead anything. I was just there. I actually only worked there for 7 months before I left so I barely did anything. I was just cautious on what I was doing and kept an eye out for my fellow co workers to make sure that they weren't doing anything dangerous or hazardous.

What sort of job are you looking for?

Your summary section is blank.

What the hell is a "Make ready"? I can't tell from your resume what the hell you did at that job at all.

Where you say

"Skills: Proficient computer skills"

That sounds redundant. List your computer skills explicitly.

  • Microsoft Windows
  • Microsoft Word
  • Microsoft Excel
  • Mac OS X
  • Troubleshooting
  • Configuration

Reformat it to fit on one page; your resume doesn't warrant two.

Hi thanks for the reply. I'm looking for any type of work at the moment. I had noticed the summary was blank, I usually put the position that I'm applying for in the summary section. Is this recommended or not?? Make ready was the actual name of the position I was working. Basically I washed the parts to the presses, cleaned anilox's, wiped down ink off of cylinders, and made sure that the presses had the correct inks. There was a numerous amount of responsibilities that I had. It was a manufacturing job and I'm finding it difficult to explain what I did on a resume. I'll update my skills section.

Change your job title to "Printing Press Technician" or something and flesh out those details about what you did. Try to make up some bullshit about how you "led initiative to reduce ink waste" or some shit.

You don't need a job, you need a career. Since you already have some experience in printing, might be best to focus on staying in that industry, since your only other experience is food service and retail.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
