A friend of mine just took 6+ months to find a job, and he's excellent. Sometimes that's just how it is. My advice: find some other people's resumes, somehow.

A friend of mine just took 6+ months to find a job, and he's excellent. Sometimes that's just how it is. My advice: find some other people's resumes, somehow. Compare them to yours. I had read my friend's, and thought it was okay. Then I had to read 10+ for my boss, weeding out the good/bad, and I realised that I was wrong. His was waaaaay too long and had waaaay too many words in long paragraphs. It needs to be quick. Tell me, fast, what you do and what you're good at. Keep it short. Remember, I'm reading 10 of these in an hour under pressure - I don't have time for your life story. Hope that helps in some way? Keep at it mate. It'll come good in the end if you skills are solid.
