How do you show stability and reliability on a resume when you have been working with temp agencies for the...

If you have worked for the same temp agencies over and over, divide the jobs by the agency, even if there is overlap.  Don't worry about naming every single assignment you have had in that time--- your resume would be as thick as a phone book!  Instead, try a bullet point under each agency like "Clerical tasks including filing, phone systems, and appointment-booking in offices ranging from twenty to two hundred employees; onsite at client location; client list includes The Big Bank, Inc, Real Estate Company, Whatever Other Place You Worked LLC."   \n\nThat gives the resume overall eye-appeal when it gets skimmed (they don't read it all the way through the first time and if yours is not laid out properly, into the trash it goes) as it will have nicely sized sections.  It also keeps you from having to repeat over and over again that you did XYZ task. That sounds boring after a while!

The standard resume line is now "References furnished upon request" centered at the bottom of the resume (sometimes italicized).  Don't waste precious space putting down names and contact info that you would be better filling in with your experience.\n\nHave a second sheet with three or so references if it is requested.  Then you also know that the company will probably really be checking them and you can let the references know to expect a call or letter.  Make the reference sheet on the same resume paper with the same letterhead.

In your situation, my best advice is to start contacting employment (temp) services like Adecco and Express Personnel.  They may start you off with doing simple assignments, but if your resume is that impressive and you do those 1-2 day assignments well, they'll start giving you bigger stuff.  It's also possible they will match you with a temp-to-hire position where you'd work temp for 90 days and then the company has an option to hire you direct.\n\nGood luck, I know it's tough.

Do research on EACH company you apply to,know the names of the hiring people, president, VP, etc. of company, know exactly what they do, what they are looking for, and tell them quickly how you will be a great asset to them. Keep all this to less than one page. Your resume should reflect ONLY what your experience has been with respect to what that company is looking for. If you demonstrate that you have gone this distance to get the job, you will have shown them you will go the distance if you get the job. That separates the boys from the men.

Chronological Resume: This resume outline helps showcase your employment history in an organized manner. You will begin with your most recent job experience and work your way back. This type of resume is easy to write, and is probably the most common resume format. In fact 84% of recruiters prefer this type of resume outline to any other. So if you are in doubt of which resume outline to use, stick with the chronological resume. If you have a spotty employment history, or lack any real-life experience though this may not be the best resume type for you. It could end up highlighting your lack of job experience. \nExample:\nMelissa G.

Use Microsoft Word.  You can easily build a resume with its templates.\n\nBelow are some sample resumes for your reference:\n\nhttp://www.resume-resource.com/samples.html\n\nHere are some tips:\n1. If you have less than 10 years of experience, you want your resume to be one page.\n2. Generally, clearly show your name, mailing address, email address if available, and best phone number(s) to contact you.\n3. Then show your education, work experience, any interests, achievements, and skill sets. Under your work experience, it is not a list of your job descriptions (this is a common mistake). You should instead indicate what you have accomplished and the results.  Use action verbs.\n4. If you are looking for your first job or intend to change job function / industry, you may want to state your objectives.\n4. There is no one “correct” format.  It depends on your profession and personal style.\n5. Also, try not to use technical words and jargons. Do not abbreviate.\n\nYou can post your resume at:\nhttp://www.monster.com\nhttp://www.careerbuilder.com\nhttp://hotjobs.yahoo.com\n\nOther good references are:\nhttp://www.vault.com\nhttp://www.wetfeet.com\n\nI would also go to your bookstore and find a resume book in the business/career section. You can also find more examples and templates online if you do a search.\n\nGood luck and have a nice day.

go to a temp service in your area. Look in a telephone book. Look in the newspaper. Ask around. Go to the places you would like to work and ask for a application or give them your resume'.

It's sometimes hard to tell how the employer will see the uploaded resume.  Your best bet is to use a resume with absolutely no formatting - no underlining, italics, not even a tab.  Try your best to get things lined up or bulleted without using tabs, alignment tools (left aligned, centered, etc.), or actual bullets (I use dashes mostly).  Yes, it looks incredibly bland, but at least it won't come out weird with tabs shifting things where they're not supposed to be, or with bullets that show up as ?s.  And if your resume is written well enough, the employer will notice and perhaps call you in for an interview, at which time you can present him or her with the nicer copy.

You can find good example resumes on-line.  \n\nI have to wonder if you are a desperate employer, an active person looking for work, or a college student that needs a good example for a class.\n\nJust note that false resumes are normally sorted out by your references, and you couuld be fired even after hired for not being truthful.\n\nIf you are an employer, checking with temp angencies, and with your states unemployment office could help bring in qualified persons.\n\nCollege student, look them up on line for good examples, there are all types of professions and their duties are listed.

1. You can write a 3-5 sentence introduction summarizing your profile (experience, area of expertise, soft-skills, etc.). Keep it concise.\n2. List out the facts of your work/projects/experience followed by a brief descriptive sentence if relevant.\n3. List any education, training, and other skills you have (i.e. languages, expertise in a hobby, volunteer work, etc.)\n4. Check your grammar and spelling. \n\nAnd last, have a friend whom you trust as professional and critical to review your resume.

Heck yeah there are awesome temp jobs out there. Go to an agency, like ABE or Nelson, and they will set you up.\n\nYou go in with your resume for an initial talk with them. From there they will help you figure out what jobs are the best fit for you and help place you in a job that not only builds your resume and potentially land you a full time job. \n\nIf you go with Nelso they also offer emergency health care for 8-15 a week. This is reallly important because most temp positions dont have this. Also, you will have an account manager who will help you get to where you want to be. Mine was incredibly helpful, and I got picked up by a company with in 24 hours of my initial interview with the agency and the company. I still ahve that job today, and it has turned out to be a terrific career path.

Highlight your best skills at the top in a summary fashion.  Example: Proficient in MS Office applications including Word, Excel, PowerPoint.  Outstanding customer service skills, excellent typing ability (etc).\n\nNext, put any education you've had under that (college, high school, military experience, anything that will stand out to a potential employer as selling points). \n\nThen, put your professional experience below here.  Add dates of employment and be brief.  Don't be too wordy or they won't read your resume.  At the same time, give just enough detail that makes them want to call you and ask questions about your resume. Try to use bullet points and highlight the key points of each job.

D's right. If you know what you are doing, take the job and roll with it until something better comes along. Steady employment looks better than temp work on a resume. [edit:] Especially since they are offering free training. Even if you think you're overqualified, there's always the chance to learn something new.

A resume should contain specifics but should be simple and neat.\n\nIt is reported that an employer usually gets hundreds of resumes and only spend about a few seconds on each one. In those few seconds, you have to capture their attention.\n\nInput educational achievements and overall achievements and skills that contribute to the job you're applying. For example, you don't need put the middle school you graduated from, or each and every job or prize that you won.\n\nKeep it simple and make sure it connects to the job you're trying to get.
