resume question
I am helping my brother with his resume, and i'm a little rusty at this since i've had the same job for 6 years.
My brother is a recent college graduate, so not a lot of relevent work experience, though he has worked for the last 10 years (waiting tables, mostly). He's now looking to get into the business world- mangement/sales type stuff.
My question is should he have a "work experience" and a "skills" section, or should he just list the skills under the work experience section when he's listing out his duties? They are kind of the same thing for him, honestly. He waits tables, so he is really good and efficient at customer service, thus the skill, kwim?
Re: resume question
I would maybe start with an "In Brief" section stating what kind of skills he has, a work experience section, then anything that would make him stand out - certifications, relevant course work, etc. He can figure those particular things out for each job based on what they're looking for in the job description.
Make sure the resume is "user friendly" Very easy to read and not too much white space, etc. Also, make sure his name and contact info are easily readable.
This is one of the rare cases where an objective may still apply. He can say something along the lines of, "To use my degree in X and 10 years of customer service skills in a [field] sales setting/position."
I'd just put the skills under each job, and bullet out as many accomplishments (vs duties) as possible to show that he has mad CS skills and used them to improve whatever position/business he worked at.
