I'm a marketing student looking for a permanent job and my work history is comprised of just temp jobs. I am looking for a way to convey on my resume of my experience at these temp jobs and working for my family business.

I prefer a strictly chronological resume. You can add the relevant skills under each temp employer, but I like to know in what capacity and where these skills were put to use. The skills are much more meaningful when you can associate them with a particular job or assignment.

A resume would state why you are appyling for the job, your previous experience etc. \n\nA profile is more personal info about you and would include, among other things, any issues the employer would need to be notified of such as allergies or disabilities (this would be important depending on what type of work youre doing)

It depends on your work experience.\nI am assuming you are new to the field? I would focus more on the technical skills that you have that would fit the job requirements, rather than job history. I would make your past jobs *line items* at the bottom, and enlighten the reader as to how qualified you are :)

I started with a temp agency. The job market is calling for people with experience. As soon I worked for a temp for a few months I had a few job offers on my plate.

I stopped putting those little jobs on mine, and I don't think anyone cares.  (Having a lot there can make the resume hard to read, and bury the important work you've done.)\n\nMostly, employers are concerned with experience that actually relates to the job for which you're submitting the resume.\n\nUsually, if an employer wants a _complete_ job history (for government jobs, background checks, etc), they'll give you a separate form with plenty of legal language concerning the honesty of your answers.\n\nJust make sure you're completely honest about your work history when it comes time to sign forms.

No. Your resume is your sales pitch you need to try some creative definitions of the work performed if not in the same field\ntry to make a connection to the job you are going for and make it short.\nAdvertising rep working in a pizza place might include experience in direct marketing procedures and hands on client relations.\n(dropped off fliers with pizza) get it ,it's not a lie!\nResume is not the application form, the interview is where you close the deal and explain your commitment to past employers etc...

Yes, mention it in your resume if it's part of your work experience.  If they ask about it during your interview, offer the documents that you have or a contact number wherein they can do a background check on you with your previous employer.

try newspaper ads or a local temp agency.  most temp agencies (staffing agencies) place people as temp to hire.  they know the opportunities in your area and have lots of business connections.\na word of advice, though, don't let them forget about you!!! check back with them often to see if they have any interviews for you!\nAlso, check out your local state job agency.  they usually ahve a databse that you put your info on and employers can see you adn you can also see jobs posted by employers.  Plus, the state job agency is a great networking place. they usually have workshops and can give you some direction in your search!

Not clear, you need to create a company profile (a profile of the whole company) or provide your CV for a company's proposal?\n\nFor your personal CV, you don't want to just create a chronological list of all the places you ever worked (like a resume you might use for jobhunting).  You want to highlight your area of expertise, relevant skills, relevant traininig, previous work experience relevant to the project and examples of projects that you worked on, any awards you received, or articles you may have published. \n\nFor a company profile you want to provide short intro about the company, the company's mission, areas of expertise, accomplishments/awards and relevant projects.\n\nThat's just a short listing off the cuff. There's more you could include in either, depending on your situation, the industry and the type of contract you are trying for.  \n\nThere's no beating research when you have to do something for the first time: do some web searching for examples of either professional CV or company profile in the industry you are in.  Samples and templates are usually avaialable, and while you are at it, check out what the competition is saying about themselves.   You will turn up a number of resources that should prove helpful\n\nGood luck!

Include a section possibly under the heading of 'Volunteer Experience'.  Also include any transferable skills you may have acquired through hobbies or pastimes.  If you have experience on office or other machinery, including computers and keyboards, list it.  You could call the heading 'Technical Skills'.  If you are an outdoors person and/or into sports, list them under a section such as 'Personal Interests'.  Remember to include any positive work experience you have at all, even if was only for a few days.  Every bit helps.\n\nFind some sample resumes and adapt your background and skills to it.  I hope this advice helps.

You might try these links.\n\nGenreally keep relevent, they don't need to hear about your dishwasher experience probably.   \n\nAnd keep in short, as an empoyer, I don't want to read a novel.  I'd call you in or ask you to email me some more infomation if your one page resume looked interesting at all.\n\nMore or less a resume is an ad.  You don't see any effective WORDY ads.

Start with a summary (in point form) of what you have accomplished. Then followed by your detailed work experience. Each one should have a strong emphasis of what exactly you have done in that job which stood out. Lastly write about your education/studies (degree) which should mention about your major and thesis. Also include other personal developments (workshop, seminars, etc.) as well. Eventually, you can always add more later to 'spice' it up. Remember, a good resume is never perfect and finalized; you will always need to update it occasionally. G'luck.

It might be best for you to prepare a functional resume' as opposed to a chronological resume'. A functional resume' is where you list your skills and tasks you have performed. The application itself will show your employment history, and it is important to be honest on that document. An application is actually meant to screen you out of a job, and not screen you in-were you aware of that? It is so important to answer every question, print if it says print, follow directions, and sign it. With a functional resume', you are whetting their appetite to know more about you. Look online for "functional resume' " and see what you come up with-it might make the difference for you. Best wishes with job hunting. It's the worst job you will ever have, but if you treat your job search like a job, and go at it 8-5, Monday through Friday, and follow up on all your contacts, you WILL find employment!

I would use similar language, but not word for word.  When I am looking at resumes, I do notice that.  Just key in on how your skills and experience are similar to what's in the job description or advertisement.
