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!

Get out the yellow pages, look up companies and call the personnel dept and find out if you can fax over your resume. Have a specific job you are looking for in the objective of your resume

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.

Lying could get you FIRED and get BAD REFERENCES on your employment history.  not a good idea.  Why don't you find out if anybody has ENTRY LEVEL positions in your field, and apply for an entry level position to work your way up and gain experience.

With three jobs it does look like a job hopper..I worked in HR for many years and when I see that I pass and go to the next resume.. As for the Temp Job, that is okay as long as you state it was a temp job..For the second job, and third job..You can post the 2nd job and state you were layed off..As for the third job keep it off the resume..

If you are using a resume distribution service it may not be a good thing. The services have thousands of companies they are sending them to, therefore many repeats. The receiving companies are inundated. Instead you need to choose the companies you would like to work for.

Don't put dates or duration of employment alongside any jobs you've done, just list the job title and a description of your duties and [if necessary] a way to contact the place you worked for a reference.  Miss out any job you held for less than 6 months to cut down on the numbers.

People are correct.\n\nA gap in your employment history isn't a good thing.  In an interview, if you get one, you will likely be asked about it.\n\nA brief employment isn't great either.  You'd also likely be asked about it in an interview.\n\nI'd list it, but not use them as a reference.  Then be prepared to put the most positive spin on your experience that you can while still being honest.  Either that or be prepared to take responsibility and share what you have learned from the experience.\n\nSomething not to detailed but positive can work such as: "The job/work environment wasn't at all what I was expecting.  I'd never take a job again without first getting a better idea of whom my supervisor would be and what the job really looks like... If you were to make me an offer I'd want to explore this before I could accept."\n\nHonesty is a good seller in an interview.  As is expressing a desire to fit in and be productive.

Fill out applications for places that are hiring, make a resume, and call the places you have already applied to. The worst thing they can say is they aren't hiring anymore. It also helps to fill the application out on the spot and ask to speak to a manager if one is available. Never apply at food places around noon or during any places busy periods.\n\nIf you don't have much experience or you have lots of gaps it helps to emphasize your personal skill in a resume before you give your selected job history. That's what they taught us to do in a class for homeless people seeking employment. It is really effective. Also never underestimate the cover letter. As silly as they are they work well.

You may want to use a Functional Resume, which focuses on your skills & accomplishments rather than your employment history.\n\nYou will still most likely deal with the interviewer's questions, but try to answer them in a positive note that focuses on the employer's need.\n\nYou can find out more info at http://www.effective-resume-writing.com

Hell no.  Human Resource managers are looking for any reason to eliminate your resume.  Being fired looks really bad on your resume.  You better have a great reason for getting let go ("layoffs").  \n\nIf you leave the job off your resume entirely then you better have a good reason for the break in between jobs.  \n\nA person who is going to hire you will check previous jobs and referrences.  The old employers are not allowed by law to bad mouth you to a potential future employer.  They can only say things like "they were employed here, but they will not be considered for re-hire".  Your potential employer will be smart enough to read between the lines.\n\nGood luck!

That isn't fair.  I would write everything down and take the issue to upper management or HR.  No matter what your job title, it is no reason to be treated that way. The quick vengeful solution would be to quit during a very busy time of day, but you have to make sure you will  be able to make do until you find another job.  Doing that won't look good for you when you apply for the next job though.  Just try to be patient for meanwhile.  I actually think this is the easiest time to look for a new job, especially in retail or any place that gets busy during the holidays.  Good Luck!!

Dont apply for jobs that require lots of lifting then! Cause If you cannot handle the duties that is not discrimination. You are told before you are hired what will be expected of you, and if you know you cannot do it, then apply for work elsewhere.

You should keep it on there to show that you were holding a job.  It's not your fauilt if they didn't give you much to do, you can list all of your basic duties and any extra projects that you worked on... arrange your wording to make it seem a little more important than it was.   A lot of times, potential employers are looking to see if you are able to hold a job.

Don't mention sexual harassment, you'll scare future employers.  Make something up like the commute was too far, or  your childs schedule changed and you need somthing new, blah, blah, something sort of vague yet relatively positive.
