I need some serious help.... PLEASE
I am 27 years old and have gotten to a point in my life where I feel I haven't accomplished anything. That being said I have decided that I need to do something about that. I want to go back to school and finish but first I need and want to clear my debts which I have figured I can do in about 18 months if I can get a job. I have applied to hundreds of jobs and I belong to so many job sites and recruiting agencies I almost can't keep up and yet I still have no job. No one is looking at my resume and recruiters seem to not want to place me even though I have aced every test they can throw at me (and they are the ones who say I've aced them). I know I can do the jobs I get interviews for (a grand total of 3) but they never call back. I need advice and can someone please look over my resume for me.
Re: I need some serious help.... PLEASE
What kind of experience do you have on your resume? Are you looking for jobs in a specific category? Is your resume personalized for each job that you apply for?
There is a lot of competition out there, and when you apply for jobs online it's really hard to stand out sometimes in a sea of hundreds. You did get 3 interviews - that's great!! How did the interviews go?

Try not to get down on yourself. The job market is horrible right now and the odds are against you. My school was hiring for a history teacher and received over 600 applications for the position!
