Hi Ty,
Very good looking Resume.
I would possibly suggest changing the the heading 'Qualification' to 'Profile' and write those points as a paragraph rather than bullet points.
Small point but might improve what seems to be a very well laid out resume.
I always try and tweek mine depending on what the job advert says. Mostly they ask for what you can do but always find a different way to describe it. When scanning through a resume an employer will be looking for key words, phrases and qualifications. It's good to give them a hand.
Hope this helps. I'll post mine soon, when I work out how to do it.
Good Luck with the job hunt Brother.
I just thought we could get together and bang heads for a minute...
ive been doing some marketing here in CG, trying to drum up some work, My application is pending in AZ and a good friend of mine who is registered here, told me to hit the streets, drum up some work and he would put us to work, I cant think of anything better to do when your unemployed.
he has a base and rover setup and total station, i thought maybey we could get you some biz cards, and take on Buckeye too!
let me know what you think
I prefer to work n Oklahoma or Arizona, but am willing to relocate anywhere in the U.S.
Any constructive criticism on formatting, wording, weak points, too long, too short, no cover page is welcomed
