Tech Savvy

In my beginning steps towards my professional career as an IT Support specialist, I was to create multiple forms of resumes including both functional and chronological this week for my Social Networking and Business class. At first, I thought I had a strong resume only because my first draft had a lot of information on it that described my previous work experienced. I realize now that if I truly want the title I'm going after, changes will have to be made with my old ways.

As you can see, this resume would be deemed "alright" if I used it for my first part-time job. However, it would never hold its own against other resumes in the IT world. I was taught from my professor Larry Domine that one's resume needs to impress those hiring you in less than 30 seconds. Those 30 seconds could be wasted if your personal resume is filled with paragraphs of hard to read text or pictures that have nothing to with the resume (including tables, charts, or unnecessary underling/italicizing. With the two new resumes that were created, many possibilities opened for me. My new LinkedIn account also allows me to share my resumes out there with people that are looking for Support Specialists.
