Vent/help needed

So, about a month ago I asked my aunt (who has worked in HR for various corporations for about 20 years) for help with my resume, since I want to get a job non-kitchen/cooking related, but don't really know how to go about doing it. I sent her my resume and a cover letter I had been using as a template.  She said both sucked.  So since then, I have not gotten anything from her except lecturing about how finding a job IS a full-time job, and tailoring your resume to the position, etc.  She tells me that I need to describe skills in a way that other (non-restaurant) employers are attracted to my resume.  She doesn't/won't get that if I knew how, I wouldn't be asking her for help, and she won't show me any examples.  She says that's "doing my homework."  I'm really frustrated and thisclose to just saying F it, forget I asked. 

Anyone out there an HR person, who can maybe give me a hand?

Thanks for listening.  BeerDrinksCake

  • I'm not in HR, but I'd still be willing to put eyes on it for you if you need some help! I don't know if I will be as good as other people, but I might be able to help you some if you don't have any other takers.

  • I'm not in HR, but I've been helping friends/family with their resumes, cover letters and resignation letters for a couple years now.  I work closely with my HR department, so I have some background knowledge in what they look for in a recruit.

     Feel free to send them along to me: jillmariesabin at gmail

  • Thanks so much, really what I need help with is describing the kitchen work as something that I can use outside of a kitchen.  I really have no idea how to go about doing this.  I'll get them to you by the end of the day.
