Will anyone employ someone with a resume like this? http://adstixblog.com/resume.html?...

Considering the major job sites (career builder, monster etc) simply sell our data to the highest bidders, how can a resume like this one (http://adstixblog.com/resume.html) get consideration?

The page has been revised and reformatted. All advise is surely appreciated.

I looked at your resume. I have a healthcare background, not information management, so consider that when reading my comments.

Although it's clear what your technical background is, it's not clear to me what the job is that you are seeking. Is this a CV, or is it a resume?

I like short, concise, to-the-point documents and your resume seems a bit wordy for me. The verbiage needs to be shortened and simplified to make it easier to be read, rather than just scanned. You need not "dumb down" to do this, but do use fewer 50 cent words and try to combine related items into fewer sentences or bullet statements. You can be more detailed about what you're doing in the current job than in past jobs. Potential employers are more concerned about your most recent experience.

I would list your name and demographic information first, followed by objective, experience, education, and then special skills, etc.

You reversed your employment dates on one of your jobs. Be consistent.

Other than what I've listed above, I can't really find anything else I would improve or change. You've got an impressive background. Good luck in your job search.

Even though your resume is formatted to appear on a website, when it comes time for actually setting up a printable version as a hard copy resume, you may want to consider the following.

Besides setting all margins to 1", the most important criteria for setting up a professional resume besides relevant text, is "scanability." Here are some helpful tips:

1. Place just below your identification header [your hame, address, phone, email address] any Conditional Warning Statement such as "Confidential Resume,"Do Not Contact Current Employer," etc.
2. Always fill-in an Objectives category [just below the Conditional Warning Statement] and make sure that he Objective will contribute to the profitability of your future employer;
3. Select a mono-type font such as Helvetica, Arial, Courier or Times Roman; do not select any cursive handwriting styles which cannot scanned;
4. Keep font sizes within a range of 10 to 12 pts.;
5. Avoid styling text with a justified alignment, keep it flushed left;
6. Instead of using tabs to set up blocked text entries, generate a table and use the column and row settings accordingly;
7. Do not place an i.d. picture anywhere on the resume, this is a major taboo due to discrimination issues;
8. Do not place any graphic text [saved as .gifs] onto the resume since it may be overlooked during the scanning phase;
9. List at the very end of the resume your interests which should include travel experiences, language skills, social interactions such as golf, team sports, tennis, etc.

In conclusion, the above helpful hints were designed to allow ease of scanning of your resume into PDF which can then be text captured for seach purposes by your potential employer. Failure to conform the resume to appropriate fonts and styles as outlined above will result in rejection of the resume simply due to the inability of the scanning device to properly index relevant resume entries.

Good luck!

Its a rich resume - but a bit too long and repetitive.

Good luck.

OOps! Got the 404....

You've got the experience, but your resume doesn't highlight it. Rewrite it with experience first, then the education, and format it into something a lot more attractive and easier to read. Make certain to brag about accomplishments, too.
