Dullard's Turn, fix my resume

Throw your worst at it. Style, formatting, content, lack of content, confusion, etc. I haven't edited it yet, so I expect speeling & gramr mistacks. I'll drop the papers/patents and make this a resume, and keep them for a CV.

Thanks for anyone who provides any constructive criticism.

For the CV version, what about affiliations and awards?

 

[randumb]

Pretty good except your subheadings (e.g. publications) look more prominent than your headings (e.g. papers and patents).

Remove "in house codes" under Programming. Think about reducing the number of bullets under TA.

Interesting. Someone else from NE. Hello from Omaha. Not very constructive, sorry - I stopped reading after "Project Manager" because I've learned to avoid people who cannot specify a very detailed job title, and Project Manager is kind of equivalent to "Construction Worker" in terms of detail.

So in other words, if an employer gives you a generic job title, you make up a different one that sounds better?

That's what the job description is for, to clarify the position's duties.

Actually it looks pretty good the design seems a little dated for my tastes but whatever floats your boat.

I could put in awards, not many affiliations to speak of yet. Should I then take out the award bullets under the BS degree?

I'll work on that tonight.

Hello other Nebraskan. I just put the title the company gave me. I could make up one I guess. Let me think about it.

It is a new design for me, the old one had way too much white space and looked horrible as I got more detail on it. But, if you have any examples of a less dated one, I'd like to take a look.

I knew I couldn't really edit out my name, or anything personal for that matter, if I posted any publications.

Throw some measurable items in your past work experience. Also under each employer possibly add general description of company and overview of your direct reports and targets.

An opening statement would be nice. Just a few sentences describing your career. Not a "I want to work for a industry leader." BS.

Shouldn't he keep it to under two pages? Managers have a short attention span, and they're way too lazy to read all of that.

Style wise, I would remove all bold heading lines and make it more simple looking.

If possible I would add more focus on what was accomplish at your current job, that would be the main part I would look at the, teaching assistant, undergrad research stuff, are good to have there. But if I'm considering you for a position, I would want to know what you've done these past 3 years at mega research.

But all in all, good looking resume!
