Stupid Resume Tricks

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

It took me hours of thinking, and mind melding with Aimee and Chris O. to come up with this:

To obtain a web programming and design position in which I can apply my technical knowledge, problem solving and teamwork skills in a challenging academic environment

I feel positively retarded.

Also, I moved from a chronological to a skills-based resume. It’s most appropriate for my current situation: I have the skills, but the current job doesn’t actually do what I want to go and do. I don’t want to work support again (unless I absolutely have to). I want to exercise my brain EVERY DAY THAT I’M WORKING.

Is that so wrong?

Jobs Jobs Jobs!

Currently working on updating my resume for employment opportunities in the Triangle area in North Carolina.

Right now I’m aiming at Duke and its satellites, but I’m not shy about hearing about other opportunities that’ll pay me roughly what I’m making here.

I do all ranges of tech support, Mac and PC, Linux too…on the other side of things I also handle web design and programming, LAMP stuff, plus Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Pagemaker, etc.

Other than PHP, I have experience in C++, and a semester of Visual Basic. Blergh. Management-wise I’ve had 10 people working for me and had to schedule them, and assess budgets to keep them hired.

Also, WILL LEARN FOR MONEY!
