(Belmont Bay) Well they need a dockhand for the weekends during the summer. Anyway since we have a slip there he put me up near the top and talked with the owner..

John Veteran Posted March 24, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 24, 2004 Are you a US Citizen or Legal Alien? That's a yes or no question :yes: :laugh: For a first resume, it looks fine. It has a few things that are answered differently than I would have expected, but they'll know what you mean ;) How old are you, BTW? :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Veteran Posted March 24, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 24, 2004 So put down you're not 18 or older. Also, some advice. Expect to not get the job, but call them every week or so. If you aren't selected, you won't feel so bad (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt74441 Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 My advice, remove every exclamation mark in there, it makes you look unprofessional. Also, remove $6.00 and write minimum wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadiz Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 My advice, remove every exclamation mark in there, it makes you look unprofessional. Also, remove $6.00 and write minimum wage. That, or "Open" that way you don't sell yourself short, or not get the job cause you asked too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Dragon Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Or you could write "One billion dollars" if you think they'd take well to humor. ;) Btw - if you're typing it out anyways, why not use a normal font? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterHaze Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 no biggie but you wrote 'it'd also be a perfect for my first job' Shouldn't it be "It would be perfect choice for my first job." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Derf Veteran Posted March 24, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 24, 2004 My advice, remove every exclamation mark in there, it makes you look unprofessional. Um yes, there's no need to be that excited. Can't you use your Dad as a reference? Haven't you done any volunteer experience? Fixed somebody's computer or something. List them as a reference (with their permission, of course). One should never lie on a job application but one should never tell the truth either.
