Suggestions, Pt 1
Skills: ·I am self motivated and a hard worker ·I work well in fast-paced, high pressure situations ·I go above and beyond the of duty ·I work well in a team Delete all this. Who isn't? Or at least, who isn't going to say so? ·Proficient with MS Word, MS Excel, MS Access, PowerPoint Presentation, and operations of 10 key and multi-line phone systems. The LAST section of your resume should be Skills: Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint Presentation, and operations of 10 key and multi-line phone systems. You don't need to add MS since everyone knows they are MS packages. Isn't this line redundant to your last point under 'Proficient'?·Familiar with 10 key. Objective: ·To find employment in a field that will challenge me on a daily basis, and will allow me to use my intellect and reasoning abilities in a way that will keep me stimulated. Delete objective entirely! It is the most generic cookie cutter part of any resume. It can be addressed by discussing the positon in the ad, or in the interview.Professional Experience: 05/03-01/08 Dave’s Taxi Service, Owner/Operator, Self-EmployedWhen referring to a job you don't do anymore, make ALL your verbs past tense. You don't collect, but you collectED, etc.This is WAY too long! Cut the driver roles down to one or two lines, and the behind the scenes roles to another one or two. ·Collect fares or vouchers from passengers; and make change and/or issue receipts, as necessary. Obvious for a car service, isn't it? ·Communicate with dispatchers by telephone in order to exchange information and receive requests for passenger service. ·Determine fares based on trip distances and times, using taximeters and fee schedules, and announce fares to passengers. ·Drive taxicabs, in order to transport passengers. Obvious for a car service, isn't it? ·Follow regulations governing taxi operation and ensure that passengers follow safety regulations. ·Perform routine vehicle maintenance;This line is complete enough here. Any driver knows what routine maintenance is. such as regulating tire pressure and adding gasoline, oil, and water.
