I'm working on my resume today. If you have a minute, take a peek and let me know if you see any glaring errors or room for improvement. This is geared towards an office or technical type job thing, I'll be working up another one that's more retail-oriented.

grief, resume

[glamazonwarrior]

Grief is part of being a sentient creature. It's understandable. I don't have pets anymore because I can't stand the heartbreak. I understand the not saying stuff, though. The last two dogs I had, when they died, I did posts, but I kept them private. I didn't want people to be sitting there, reading my stuff, feeling crappy about it.

Resume:

add a comma after Olympia

"Graduate of 2007" is clunky; just put "Associate of Arts Degree, South Puget Sound Community College, 2007"

Put your skills ahead of your work experience.

Resumes don't require all of your experience, just your relevant experience. I'd delete the Census Bureau position, as it's not related to what you want to do.

Include link(s) to webpages you've designed. Good, portfolio pieces, not funky hobby stuff. (Example: I put my twilightdreamer site on my resume, but not the camp amazon site.)

Cool, thank you.

I think your resume looks real good. I'd change "ringing sales" to "retail sales" though. Just sound a bit more fancy.

I was thinking about Bob too recently, about the last time I went and petted her. She didn't purr, she just kind of sat there peacefully and let me. I think she knew it was her time, but I feel blessed to have had such a crazy, wonderful cat live with us. Also, for me at least, it's always okay to talk about Savannah, or Bob, or anything else. So don't censor what you're thinking, and call me up anytime you just need to talk, kay? I know it's sad, and uber, uber hard, so i'll give you a special super best sister ever hug to you next time I see you, kay? <3
