I'd have to edit out all of the contact information, make a new file, upload the file...
I'm not trying to be a goose about it, but it's really a matter of presentation, not content. Well, the content comes after the presentation and some brief scanning. Really, in this form, all you have is a list of things that mean nothing. That's why I'm asking for a pic, and why others will too. Just blur out the personal info, but leave it in so we have an idea where it goes, and upload it so we can all see.
I'm just applying to anything that looks vaguely interesting.
My interests:
Politics
Sports/Exercising (training/coaching)
Movies, television, entertainment
Cars/trucks/motorcycles
Counseling/Teaching
Volunteering/helping my community
Two critiques.
1. In the above, reading this I have no clue what you actually did.
2. You shift tenses throughout. Pick one and stick with it. I personally prefer past tense for former employers.
