Would someone here have the time to look over my resume, trying to make a general resume really and since its my first time wiring one so I would appreciate some feed back on it and tips!

just the idea of an internship fills me with fear and anxiety. how long do you have to work before you earn the right to be paid?
Any decent internship will pay you immediately. Unpaid internships are pretty much a scam. I don't care if there's some industries where that's expected, it's still a scam. We've got two programmer interns who are both paid.
Welcome to the wonderful world of teaching, where YOU pay for the privilege of interning and then will probably not find a job afterwards
Didge, how goes the teacher job searching...stuff?
M'lady pulled down two interviews so far. One in DC (big panel interview, cattle call style. 25 minutes on the clock and go. *ding* next person and or question) Didn't go well and such. Another that was a bit better, but she hasn't heard back yet. AND if they want her she'll have to get certified in Chem.
Teacher interviews seem to be an odd style of pain in the ass.
Not all that terrible actually, Zip, I'm just woe-is-me-ing for no good reason, heh. I actually have to take another test or two for New York before I can properly transfer my California credential so I can't really look for this upcoming school year. I'll have to wait until at least the spring. Here's hoping a couple teachers get knocked up and decide to stay home or quit after the fall!
I've applied to the nearby school districts to be a substitute for the fall though, just waiting on the interviews for those! Should be a pretty good gig, and relevant to my field.
Meanwhile I've been looking for some other type of job to tide me over. Have an interview tomorrow, so fingers crossed!
Sorry to hear your lady's been having a rough time of it. A lot of the teachers I've known have said they spent at least one season searching for a job after they got their credentials, but they're all very happy and have stable careers now. Hang in there, guys!

Sweeeeeet. Glad to hear that it's going well. Or at least as well as it can with the whole credential transfer thing.
Yea, it's really not bad right now. She's just chilling and waiting to hear back. The side job for now is bartending until it's substitute teaching time.
Bleh, the first day back after time off always sucks. Even more so because someone rebooted my server last night with no heads up so none of the jobs that are scheduled to run automatically in the morning ran. Good times.

Rogue LemonAVATAR BOX TOO TIGHT,50 YEARS DUNGEON!Registered Userregular
I am still busting my ass in a grocery store parking lot, pushing endless shopping carts around. Becoming super tan, fit, and sexy wasn't listed in the job perks, but it's worked out pretty well for me. They wanna make me a cashier, but technically have no openings, so upper management can't give them the go ahead.
A new VA office is supposed to open up over here in the next couple of months, I'm hoping I can get work there. Maybe even one that puts my freakin' Psych degree to use. It's hard not to feel above manual labor after 4 years of college, but I'm glad to just have a job.
So I thought that for a change I'd ask a client to offer a price, instead of letting him make me make an offer.
Dude offered five times what I was going to ask for. It's for only a couple of minutes of work, so it's not much, but still, WTF.
I know nothing, Jon Snow.

So being on vacation for a week and going back to works sucks ass.
Worst is the huge list of 90 emails I need to sift through to find the 4 or 5 that contain pertinent information I need for my actual job. It's like email Russian Roulette, only instead of bullets it's samples I need to analyze. The whole getting killed if you pick wrong thing still applies.
Though, I do understand the need to sift and sort the bullshit from the important stuff. That's always the rub of being away for a bit.
I'm guessing that from the time I leave for Comic-Con on Wed morning till when I return on Monday morning I'll have something approaching 300+ emails waiting for me.
Ziplock, man, just pay me like £50 a day and gimme your email credentials, I'll sift for you while you're away.
Nothing can possibly go wrong with this plan! :rotate:

They send me email chains full of cryptic nonsense and misspellings detailing complex issues they are having with some product or raw material.
Then I need to match those emails to a small baggy of white, beige, or sometimes grey powder that doesn't have any matching description or identification on it. Occasionally it's a bottle of clear liquid that may or not be water. Even if it's water, it could be fresh water going into the system, waste water coming out of the system, or recycled process waters that range from meh to holy shit it's full of more chemicals than Lindsey Lohan's urine.
Then I get phone calls asking me for data on things that take anywhere from 2 to 10 days to do.
It's the same in the states, Red. Employers will look and say "Why has this person been unemployed for X amount of time?" I was out of work for 6 months and had that question brought up to me in multiple interviews.

"Because one interviewer asked me that question when it was only a month, and it just snowballed from there."

so the amount of time unemployed itself is a reason for people not to hire you?
wtf
'sizable gaps in employment' is enough to make any prospective employer trash my cv
dumb

Try one of those harder than the others.
honestly it wasn't that bad, the hours were shitty and the pay was low but i met some good friends there who i still talk to daily 10 years on
"Are you sure? Did you double check the caps lock key wasn't on, that sort of thing?"
"YES I'M SURE"
*keys in username and password and logs in*
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!"
"I...typed in your username and password."
"WELL THAT'S WHAT I DID!"
"Apparently not."
so either he can't remember a very easy 5-character password or he can't spell his own name.
i always cycled through the types of weapons from final fantasy (diamond, ruby, emerald, ultimate, omega etc) because i am a horrible nerd
I make a darn good amount for the work I do, I got great benefits and vacation time.
Yet, there I am last night looking up the up front cost and potential profits of running a snap fitness gym.
Freelancing those years has messed me up in the head and gave me some kind of entrepreneurial bug that I can't seem to shake.
