    When you are actually doing this type of work, what skills are you using? Your letter should focus more on those skills...Maybe choose some more along the lines you list in the resume. You could also use a stronger focus on verb tense in the resume - your points would read more smoothly. You can bulk this up a bit to include examples of these skills you say you have. See samples on my website. (Link below.) Good luck! Miriam Salpeter Keppie Careers Keppie Careers

    You should revise this significantly if you'd like it to help you get a job! Take a look at some samples (I have some on my site) for format ideas - you don't list addresses of employers, for example. Also, listing personal interests is iffy, but certainly not at the top of a resume. Unfortunately, noting your 25 years of experience is not likely to be a strong advantage. Nor is the focus on wanting to advance. No one wants to hire someone with an eye out the door. I can help you put this resume in shape to help you compete in today's job market. Review my site (below) and let me know if you're interested in a quote. Best, Miriam Salpeter Keppie Careers Keppie Careers

    You really need a revision here if you expect your resume to open any doors. You really need to focus on your skills here. Also, only list certifications that are key to the job. Your education should go at the end. You should look into a more eye pleasing format. I have several on my site. Overall, a real revision is in order. I'm happy to help and invite you to review my blog and site. Best, Miriam Salpeter Keppie Careers Keppie Careers

    You could use a little more depth to your descriptions here. Focus on your skills. Look at some sample resumes (I have some on my site, listed below), for formats and details such as the fact that you don't need to list the actual start date for your job. I have a lot of free advice on my site, and I hope you'll visit! Good luck! Miriam Salpeter Keppie Careers Keppie Careers

    Wow...There is an awful lot to get through here. I would totally revise this resume if you really want to get through the screening process. Honestly, I can hardly get through it myself! You need to think about some bullet points, focusing your skills and accomplishments and targeting this to exactly what you want to highlight. "US Citizen" is not a skill, so should not be listed on your resume. I think this resume makes it very difficult for anyone to figure out what you want to do, which is not a good approach. I hope you'll take a look at my blog and site. I offer a lot of free information as well as list my services there. Good luck! Keppie Careers Miriam Salpeter Keppie Careers

    The key thing for you is to focus on how you are wording your descriptions - including verb tense - and also be sure to include what accomplishments you offer. Employers want you to make it very clear what you can do for them. This format is a little thick - too many words in a row - and probably too many bullet points. (Also, I'd add periods to all of these.) You have a great start here, and it probably wouldn't take much to fix. I could offer you a deal on a resume edit to get you started!

    Your resume needs to be more than just a list of stuff you've done. Look at my website for samples Keppie Careers Think about re-organizing this to focus on skills instead of stuff you've done. You will do much better to connect with employers if you can show what you've done instead of just list things. I have a lot of free advice on my blog. Take a look and let me know if I can help!

    You obviously have a lot to offer, but this format makes it really hard to find. I'd redesign this to make it look like one of my sample resumes: Keppie Careers Bullet points and a clear focus on skills and accomplishments will be key for you. You need to list more than duties - include how you had an impact. Ask yourself - "so what?" Answer it! I invite you to visit my blog and site for lots of free advice. best, Miriam Salpeter

    Debra, You should get this to one page only. Put your education at the end at this point. Objectives are a bit outdated - consider a skills or accomplishments section instead. I have samples on my site: Keppie Careers Don't put more than 5 or 6 bullet points - the long list is too overwhelming. Consider breaking it up into skills and accomplishments if you must list so many things. Make sure you include results. You did these things, but what impact did you have? This is really important!

    Nice format - consider shortening the paragraph a bit at the top. Make sure you keep the headers consistent (see the circled sections). Think about this - you did all of these things, but what were the RESULTS? What skills did you use to do them? Incorporate these and your resume will shine!

    I think you can make several updates to fuel your search. While your objective isn't bad, you could do better with a focused skills or accomplishments section. Take a look at the samples on my site for ideas: Keppie Careers Move your education to the bottom and play up your work experience more. I'd suggest getting this to one page - fuller pages will make you seem much more experienced. Think about all of your skills (I have a list under Free Advice on my site for your reference). Play those up here. You can make a strong connection with employers with a little more work. Let me know if I can help! Best, Miriam Salpeter Keppie Careers

    Consider putting your dates in the education section! Many employers want to see dates. I'd take off the graphic. Overall, very nice, but a little too much focus on the "stuff" you've done. I'd suggest backing up and emphasizing your accomplishments and skills more. What were the results of your work? Include more of this. Also, take a look at the samples on my site for ideas to revise the top of your resume...You can get lots more bang for your buck! Best, Miriam Salpeter Keppie Careers

    This looks great! Much improved. Try to avoid passive voice. Example: US Transportation Command adopted instead of what you have here. Focus a bit more on accomplishments. Add results whenever possible. Avoid hanging one word over to the next line - it's a waste of your space. Include your name, email and page 1 of 2, page 2 of 2 in footer. Great! Hope you'll subscribe to my blog and send your friends! Best, Miriam Salpeter

    I don't think your "cover letter" is doing you much good here. It is way too general. Cover letters need to be targeted for the specific organization. I'd suggest a lot of work on the format of this resume. Review some at my website (below). Good start incorporating skills and accomplishments. Don't say I, me or my in a resume - it is implied. Say "Supported," not "I supported." I have tons of free advice on my site and I'd be happy to help. You have great potential here, but I wouldn't go to market with this version.

    T.B. It is best to create a resume using bullet points so it is easier for people to skim it. I'd advise that you re-do this to focus on your skills and experiences (and accomplishments) that will help make you look more qualified for your target job. Look at Pharmacy Tech job descriptions and see what skills they want. Then, highlight your descriptions to target those skills. Also, at this point, you will need to move your education to the bottom of the resume. Verb tenses for current jobs should be in present tense: "Promote," "Compile." You think of it as if you are saying "I____." But, you don't say I! It's not in the 3rd person, as in, "She promotes." I have some samples on my website and a lot of information on my blog about resume writing that would help.

    Thanks for asking for a review! I hope my comments are helpful. You have a lot more potential here for a great resume. Think of every line on your resume as key real estate. The most "expensive" is the header - the top 1/3rd of your resume. You are wasting yours by listing a bunch of awards and affiliations that don't mean anything to most readers.

    Brooke - I would suggest a lot of work on this resume. I assume the format issues are something to do with translating it for razume? This resume is missing a lot of basic resume qualifications.

    Interesting... I'd suggest taking a look at some resume formats on razume or other websites. Never say "I" in a resume. I've never seen a date in a resume nor advised one at the top.

    Christine, I would suggest a one-page resume. I assume you are in Canada? I would typically advise an American client to emphasize education at the top at your stage of the game, but not so much of the education. I'd reformat to take less space for education.

    I would suggest revising this quite a bit to include skills and accomplishments and to sound a lot more active and interesting. Consider a "Highlights of Qualifications" section to help steer the reader where you want to go.

    Laurie, Your resume isn't doing you justice. First, most employers don't like a functional resume. A combination resume is better, but in any case, this resume totally hides everything that you'd want an employer to know in thick paragraphs. You need to think bullet points and scannable. This is way too much to review. Also, never use I, me, or my in a resume. There is so much I would suggest you revise here...A targeted highlights of qualifications section will help the reader zone in on your plans to transition careers. I am skilled at helping transitioning professionals revamp their resumes. Feel free to contact me for more specific information and review my website for suggestions: www.keppiecareers.com. Email at results@keppiecareers.com. I would guess that your current resume will not result in the next job you have in mind, but you obviously have a lot of potential and much to offer. I hope to hear from you. Miriam Salpeter Keppie Careers
