Would you hire me?

[slug 1]

Hi Andyman

Ihaven'y read your resume but have you considered relocating to India? . Some kinf of a very upper level managemt position might make it affordable.

You could also do contractor work in the sand box. I hear they pay good.

R.I.P.

You're FIRED B4 you start. I quit em first. The UNION is a good thing

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Check your PM. Add more detail in your resume, do not just use bullet points. People what to see details.

Change this too:

Nah, leave the skydiving thing in. I have a line in my CV that reads something along the lines of "Skydiving has give me the ability to prioritise under extreme pressure". My current boss said he thought it was a great line!

When I was leaving uni, I got several interviews, and skydiving was always a question they asked at the end when they want to really find out about the person they are hiring. Did me no harm.

Up to you though

1) Consider differentiating the look of your CV - nothing garish or crazy, but sometimes just a small photo or similar can make the difference between your CV and the 50 other identical ones.

2) Have a think about what you can offer the company - either in interview or in brief on the CV. A section of 'Goals' along the lines of 'To develop the teamworking in the business while expanding outside networking etc...' gives the employer reason to ask you for interview.

Any training you'd like to give or recieve shows drive and commitment.Managers get off on that

Obviously, there isn't room for everything you'd like on a CV, but my initial reaction to your CV was "qualified but unimaginative"...

As for the skydiving thing, it's personal preference, but I mentioned it and highlighted the great networks we have as a community as an example of transferable skills ... got me the job...

Either focus your resume on your management skills and less on the technical or change your objective to a technical position.

This is an interesting point.

What does a "management" resume look like? Honestly, I have no idea.

Clearly, I'm a developer who's trying to step into a management position. How do I do that?

good question and that's an answer I've struggled with. I would suggest doing a search on the internet for resumes of managers in your line of work. See how they word their responsibilities. Typically, management positions are going to take a back seat to the actual work and provide more guidance and planning, along with more of the administrative duties. By that, I mean budgets, scheduling man hours and delegating project tasks. Remember all those buzz words that everyone makes fun of ?
my resume is here if it helps at all. The position at UC and Bain are management positions which may have some good examples for you. Personally, I'm going the opposite direction because I've come to realize that my forte is tech and not management.

Hope any of this helps

Remove any mention of skydiving......

To some it might make you look cool. But most are going to think you are crazy and undependable.

I would not even have the "professional Arial Photographer" part in there....

I would put profession photographer, but I would not mention skydiving or any other high risk activity.

Age is a protected class as well.

Age is only protected above the age of 40.

at my husbands last job interview, they looked at his gray hair and asked "how much longer do you plan to work"
He responded "15 years" and the person who asked the question replied "WHAT?! Do you think you are gonna work FOREVER!!??"
