-- Résumé advice.
Pages (2): « 1 [2]

To be honest, I always just use the resume wizard that comes with Word. And yes, I used it to get a "real" job, not some shitty mall job.

It was all about the cover letter really. Well, that plus my professional profile/portfolio.

Cover letter comment is semi true. But the lazy bastards who'll be looking at it, there will be certain "must haves" they'll need.

What kinda job is it?

I'm applying for both teaching jobs and positions as a research assistant.

And PKC - the teaching jobs I'm applying for are not government jobs, and in general are not the kinds of positions that are filled solely by filling specific requirements. You're probably going to make loads of fun of me (which is fine) - but I'm applying for jobs teaching religious history (Western or Eastern) in the Catholic school system.

So then research the companies/institutions and include relevant experience in your cover letter.

I can send you a copy of my cover letter if you like.

I'll grab the papers for more details when I head home from campus between courses this afternoon, but basically it would be studying the history of Buddhism in India.

I would effectively be staying in a guest house at a monastery near Sravasti for 8 weeks helping a professor do work for a book.

Good luck Rawb.

Hmm. I think I've been there. Was ruled by one of Ram's sons. 8 weeks there should be real fun. Good luck.

hey, teaching religious history is at least a fucking subject, unlike theology which is just a colossal wank

make sure you emphasise the role of catholicism in teen pregnancy and the holocaust

I'm pretty good at editing resumes. My GF is a high school teacher and i'm an instructor in specialized field. If you need help let me know.

your resume is where you include relevant experience. The cover letter should highlight specific instances during a job (or at some other relevant time) that displays skills that are useful or necessary for the position you are applying for.
