For my resume, what kind of skills do I have other than Microsoft Office and SPSS knowledge? What's normal? Applying for jobs after graduation sucks! Entry level positions requiring 5 years of experience are crap! :(

usually you list internet explorer and all the microsoft office components seperately (ie excel, office, outlook, powerpoint). Also, you want to include your degree of proficiency in each of these. You can use a daily scale (ie I use microsoft office daily) or you can use the beginner to advanced scale (ie. I have advanced knowledge of microsoft office)

You probably know all this already, but I thought I'd share.

And also, apply for anything! If you are a fast learner, include that fact in your resume somewhere and apply to positions that require 5+ years of experience cuz you never know!

Thats actually how I snagged my current position. =)

I dont however think that you putting "Japanese midget porn" as an interest will help you...though google may be open minded

I know you left a comment for me on myspace, but seeing as I can't access that site at work, I thought I'd use lj to let you know I read your comment. I would absolutely love to see you maybe this weekend or next! Did you all have a party last weekend?

Let me know whats going down. It's been forever!

No party last weekend. I don't know what this weekend entails because Steve refuses to give me details. I need to get the rest of my stuff from Stockton and move it to Fremont (like my bed and TV and all the big stuff) but I don't know if that will happen or if something else is going down. Steve sucks :(
