shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), ! designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and
tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA). After cooking his breakfast in his new
electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE
IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his
watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car
(MADE IN GERMANY) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN
JOB. At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe
decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL)
poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV
(MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying
job in.AMERICA.....

how long have you been waiting to paste that one into a thread ?

Besides, it's irrelevant since that speaks about products while this is about IT / services.

there really isn't anything in that resume that stands out among the crowd..

you mentioned that you "trained 60 call center personnel"..

ok...
hiring managers want to see results.. they want to see numbers.....

After you trained these call center technicians.. was there any significant improvements in productivity? Did the time decrease on each trouble call?


I only see that you trained some call center tech's.. nothing more... you didn't specifiy anything significant that happened as a result from that.. I mean hell... those call center tech's still might not know $hit and be just as unproductive as they were in the past..

You gotta sell yourself, and convince an employer that if they hired you, you would bring results.

I find the resume hard to read and I would toss it if it came across my desk. Personally, I would recomend a good letter. Explaining what you do, what you want to do, and how you have made previous companys money. Then find out who really will be hiring for the job (instead of HR) and send them the letter without a resume. Just a letter and contact info. This has always worked for me. I'm the lead financial programer at a small college in michigan.

You need to work on your command of the English language for starters.
