Responsible for the shipment of up to 50 orders a day.

Bad grammar. Should be "each day" or "per day."

Scheduled earlier Fed Ex pickups depending upon daily volume for efficiency and lower operating costs.

Sounds like you just made a phone call, which isn't really noteworthy. Also, "earlier" means nothing without a point of reference. Should just be "early." Or perhaps just "scheduled Fed Ex pickups based on shipping volume to minimize operating costs" or something to that effect.

Should use the same verb tense throughout. I'm not sure which is preferred, but past tense seems most logical to me. Also, get that job off your resume as soon as you land your next job. Right now it's really just there to make your resume look less empty.

What does "high paced" mean? I think you mean fast-paced (and it should be hyphenated).

I have other jobs that can replace the Fast food job, but they are not as recent as the ones i have listed...

Thanks though, made the changes, going to Kinkos (fed ex) to print it out, and off to the job fair i go.

Ignore the time frame that you were there. concentrate on what you did while there.

Seconded.

KISS. And don't misrepresent your experience level on your resume. I used to interview a lot of prospective new hires when I worked at a large patent firm, and nothing would piss me off more than finding out that information on a candidate's resume was basically bullshit.

Be realistic when you describe your past job experience. A two month stint at an internship severely undercuts any claim that you were in a management role or that you trained personnel. It's a bit like a garbageman stating on his resume that he "managed and implemented the city health code and recycling statutes to improve community health and the efficiency of global aluminum can production."

Sorry to be harsh, but there is a thin line between advocating strongly for oneself on a resume, and flat out lying.

That said, good luck with your job search!

Don't forget to include your vast knowledge on trademark law.

I did the training, i implemented a LOT... you have to realize when i showed up to the company, they started shipping orders that day... i received 2 weeks of training, and the main manager left for a 4 week vacation...

You trained others?

Or you were trained?

With only being there 2 months, what kind of training could you have given to others that would be meaningful?

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

wow... i havent talked about that car on here in a WHILE...

did you know you can fit 13 people in a Malibu Maxx?
5 guys, 8 chicks...

i have a really good memory.

 

[woodman1999]

Can't most of that be condensed into something like "responsible for the day to day shipping logistics of the entire wharehouse, from on the job training of wharehouse employees to getting the orders shipped on time, every time"?

I dunno... I hate updating my resume. Just ask me about my job history and i'll tell you during the interview... Personality is 90% of why i've been hired anyway... stupid resumes. Hell, I put on my resume that I am a red sox and patriots fan and that's about all I talked about during my interview process with my current employer in NYC....
