Critique my resume.

[amnesiac]

Ditching the lucrative yet insanely boring family business for a career (hopefully) in the restaurant industry.

Resume (Windows .DOC) - NEW VERSION
Resume (.PDF) - NEW VERSION
Resume (.PNG) - NEW VERSION
Anything I'm missing or should change, let me know.
(Kind of funny how I ask ATOT for resume critiquing since I look over hundreds myself at times)


Oh, and if anyone has management (pref. restaurant management) experience and can offer advice for a cover letter or how to make myself more appealing, please share.

Thanks!


EDIT: Revised and edited. Version "3" now.

looks good to me. looks like you have some nice experience that will look good considering the position you're are going for. Maybe put your GPA in there if it's good since you just graduated.

Wow someone not interested in going into IT. Coolness.

Hahahahahhaahhaahhahahahahahaha NO. My GPA sucked. I should have tried harder. But they don't need to know that.

Yeah, I'm still a computer geek at heart, and did try for a semester or two for a CSCI major, but the upper level maths ruined me, and I could never get the hang of programming. Most of it is because the vast majority of professors and TAs in engineering are BRILLIANT people but not only have barely passable social skills, have no idea how to convert knowledge into digestable form. Also, my main passions are video gaming and cooking. And you can't be in the video game industry without any programming or art skills.

I would remove "Moderate" -- you're either fluent or not ["Bilingual: Moderate Spanish fluency"]

Although they are relevant, these are not what are typically included as "skills". Also, remove "capable of" from "Excellent written and verbal communication" -- somehow that sounds like you are capable of, but usually don't exhibit, communication skills Overall, try to demonstrate these skills by showing specific tasks in your work history and/or including them in a summary paragraph/objective.

Adept at training and instructing others.
Able to function independently or as part of a team.
Have the ability to handle many tasks simultaneously and work best under pressure.
Able to absorb knowledge very quickly, and to apply it in practical use.
Skilled at finding inventive solutions to tough problems.

Thanks, I'll make those edits.
I'd go into more detail about the skills but I'm trying not to have an overly wordy resume. I figure I'll be able to explain stuff in an interview.
Unless you have a good idea for fitting that stuff in without going over a page.

REVISED! Version 3 now up. Additional comments welcome.
