I don't value your opinion. You are a jackass troll and I pitty the company you hire for in shaping the world to be a worse place to live and work.
This is exactly the opposite of what my professional bodies which give employment advice have stated. Schools hire from specific nationalities, etc..
I do. Those are my memories and experiences, that is who I am. I think that is valid.
Javier will contact me if that is the case. My website has a very small audience so except for s like you and the other TA trolls I'm not overly concerned with those who find my resume link as it is only sent to those whom I advertise my employment to, and while I have had the odd contact from people I havn't sent my resumes too, including for placement information, I am fine with the responses I've gotten to date. I'm not a self repressed individual such as yourself so whatever.
Whatever stuffy job you hire for is likely isn't the type of job I'm looking for regardless, I think we've been over that before. |
he actually gave you the exact information you need include or exclude in the C.V...honestly if you do want a job, listen to what he said. |

Get rid of the following things:
- The pics of yourself
- Hobbies
- Travel docs
- Key words
- References (let them ask you for those, don't provide them)
- Birthdate/nationality, etc. |

This is honest criticism buddy.. Nobody is going to take you seriously with such a cluttered resume. You need to focus and cut out the extra stuff. Bring it up in the interview if you wish, but your resume should be readable in 20-30 seconds.
Nobody cares that you want to work in a tropical climate or what your hobbies are. Every employer is interested in WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THEM. They want to know why you are VALUABLE in the position you are applying for. Stone Reikki Healing and Hypnosis are weird pseudoscience bull in the eyes of most of the population. It is laughable to include that on a professional resume while applying for teaching jobs. The same goes for your "ordained minister" thing.. And the fact you are including paper routes and lawn mowing from when you were 12 years old is downright insane. Cut that off. Stick to the most recent 5-6 years and your professional experience and cut off all the crap I mentioned back on page one. Make a new draft and just LOOK AT IT. I guarantee it will be a huge improvement. |

Don’t listen to moral hazard. He has absolutely no idea what he’s talking about and is most likely jealous of your well-rounded and thought-provoking resume. I too have read a bunch of job applications and I can honestly say that yours is a breath of fresh air William, certainly more interesting than any I have read before. It would certainly get my attention.
Don’t pay attention to the haters. Go get some rocks and heal yourself up brother.

You have no idea what kind of employers ******** is looking for, and just because you don't know what Reiki is doesn't mean it makes sense to throw stones at it. I always prefer well rounded, independent people to cookie cutter types (as long as they aren't dangerous, arrogant, s, or bad employees as a result of their difference) My point is basically - the Reiki qualification is fine, regardless if you think ******** is insane. It may even be helpful in his particular search for employment, you have no idea.
You never know if your interviewer's mom is undergoing Reiki therapy for cancer.

So, basically what youre saying is if the potential employer is a moonbat cretin, they are more likely to hire more moonbat cretins. Makes sense. |

lol i don't usually go with the flow when TA is picking on somebody..but dude, you can't have a resume like that, no job worth having will even look at that mess. Your resume shouldn't be a gimic, but a brief overview of what you can bring to the table, and the interview is where you're supposed to blow them away.
don't believe me?
HERE'S A TEST YOU CAN TRY AT HOME:
make a "boring" "conformists" kind of resume.
hand it out to the same amount of places as you do with your facebook page.
I bet you'll see more calls from the companies that get the boring resume than the one that "sparkles". |

I love that you look for advice and then reject the only practical advice you receive from exactly the type of person who will be receiving and subsequently shreding your resume. |
lol, +1

Will, I've told you before; as a hireing professional, I would not even take the time to read that mess of a resume you have posted. If I did; I would immediately throw it in the shred bin, as it is an utter mess, full of information I don't need, unfocused, and indicates a cluttered mind. In short, your resume, as presently structured, is a barrier to employment as it creates a negative impression of you. Please don't get defensive like last time, I'm giving you frank and honest feedback here.
My advice: keep it simple and basic. For example; nationality, date of birth, place of birth, and relationship status have no place on a resume. Keep the personal information to your name, address, email, and telephone number. You state a clear objective but this should be the very first thing after your personal information. Limit the amount of information you're offering... you have some decent things to note on your resume but they are obscured by inclusion of too much meaningless stuff (ie. the St. John's Ambulence/Corel office/WHMIS certificates are good; however, unless you're applying for certain positiosn most people will stop reading after Professional hypnotist and Stone Reiki Master). No one cares about what you did employment wise when you were 13... keep your employment to your last three to four positions (or the most relevent ones if you are sending a targeted resume). I would leave out the extracuricular section all together unless you are applying for a position for which any of this is particularly relevant. No need to discuss: hobbies, the awards/merits you list, travel documents (they will ask if they are interested), key words (WTF, is that there for people who may be doing an internet search on those words?), or your employment vision. Finally, just list that references are available on request, as javier may not be too found of having his contact information sent out to all your perspective employers or made available for public consumption on the internet.
Try to produce a traditional resume; you do not have sufficient qualifications for a CV so this is just too much irrelevant info. Hireing professionals are usually quite busy and are disinclined to spend time sorting through something of this ilk in order to determine if there is anything of interest burried within.
Good luck. |
