Resume Help: Self employed,sometimes unemployed handyman/carpenter needs to make Resume for job I'm interested |
in. In the past 30 yrs I've worked for at least a dozen construction companies under the table.I've also worked for plumbers & roofers & the last 10 yrs on my own. I gues my main question is, Do I need to list all of my past job experiance. The job I'm applying for is a handiman/punch out job for a large construction company. This would be my first Resume I have had to make.Any advice would be welcomed. Also, Do I need to type it or can I just hand write it? Lots of websites can help you, including Monster.com. Better to have it typed than handwritten. Capitalize on your experience as an independent contractor and give the names and telephone numbers of satisfied customers. The best experience is what you've done in the last 10 years. Use 'spellcheck' and 'grammarcheck' to make sure there are no typos. Then, ask someone to read it over for you. Your local librarian is a very good resource and is usually very happy to help. It looks a lot more professional if it is typed. I think they say to go back over ten years for jobs. If you had several 'freelance' jobs so to say over a couple of years i would just point that out rather than list each and every job. You can always explain it better in the interview. And good luck with the job hunt. It is preferable to have it typed because it looks a lot more professional. Besides, if you have a lot of info to place in it, with hand writing you'll get around 4-5 pages, not a plus. And yes, you should place everything you have done and every company you have worked with. It's part of your work history. Very important ;) Here's help: http://www.cvtips.com/first_cv_tips.html...
