Pro Tip #2: If you're one of the 3 people left on this site who hasn't graduated and has little experience, find 6-7 listings for jobs you want. Copy and paste them into a word counter and then use whichever buzz words you find listed in your resume.

The ones I used were 'optimized, systems, develop' etc. Replace whatever verbs / nouns you have with the nomenclature of the listings.



Pro Tip #3: Center your name

print out a picture of your cock with your name, email & phone number on it...mail it out - then sit back & wait for the job offers to roll in.

i think months are fine...as long as its like "company A until March 2009" "company B from April 2009 to whenever"

and not "company A until March 2009" "company B from December 2010 to whenever"

cause they'll be like what did this fucker do for a year and a half

The point is that you don't gain anything from putting months on there. The only possible outcome is negative.

The only time they'd ask if you had 3 jobs in the same year, or if you had "Company A 20xx - 2012 and then Company B 2012-" they might ask when you started at Company B, to get a frame of reference of how long you've held your current jorb.

After a couple years of work experience, move your education to the bottom of the document, because at that point no one gives a shit anymore (i.e. your experience means more than what school you went to)
