stupid questions
-what's the best way to list temp jobs? I was with one from 2006-2009, and another 2009-current. Mostly either part time or break assignments, all but 1 have been at a particular company, and it's been two different kinds of jobs (office coordinator, scheduler/unit clerk). I also held a (casual) position at this company 2004-2007.
-when you're "customizing" your resume, how do you do that? I don't really care to work for the company I've been temping at so I've been looking at other companies in the same field, but I have also been looking for other fields for their admin-y things.
-if you didn't really "do" anything spectacular at your jobs (hello, I'm a temp, I hold down the fort), what's a good way to maximize what you did do? right now I feel like my resume is a little "job description"-y.
-education: order of fields (degree, major, minor, school, year)? In progress or expected date?
I've just started at a new school, where I will graduate from. Finally. Probably in spring 2013, because I don't think I'll be allowed to take 18 credits over the summer so it bumps me down a semester.
My major right now is social sciences... because I had to pick something... lol... I have the option to swap to something a little more admin/business/management-y. Or I could minor in one of the above since it won't add any time on. Any thoughts about that?
Re: stupid questions
Temp Jobs & Customizing Resume - I have one ginormous resume with everything. It is way to long to ever submit anywhere. I pick and choose the points I want to play up for a given resume. Having a "master copy" makes it much easier to cut and paste. In your case if you have such a wide range of experience and can really focus on the things that are most applicable to the job. You could completely eliminate a temp assignment if it was not applicable as long as there are no big time gaps.
You definitely did great things, you just have to word it correctly. Use action words. Do a search for resume key words and you will find a lot of resources. And whenever possible use numbers/specific stats like "coordinated schedules for 30 employees vs. just coordinated schedules"
Education - List the most current first. Also list any activities you participate in because people are looking for something that is going to make you stand out.
You should major in whatever you think is most interesting and will be most valuable in your future career.
Don't list temp jobs unless they're relevant. If they are, list as the others
You customize in a myriad of ways: using key words relevant to the job posting, including only work history that is relevant to the position you're pursuing, etc. All resumes should be somewhat customized
Even if you didn't have accomplishments, you can have data, numbers, and specifics. "Administrative assistant duties" vs "handled administrative duties for senior VP of a Fortune 500 company"
IMO order doesn't matter as long as it's clear. Mine is School, Degree, Year. Expected date sounds better than in progress
Decide what you want to be when you grow up, and get a degree in that

They're relevant because they're most of my work history. Should I break out the most important/longest/best assignments? List with month and year?
I want to be a doctor, actually...
I need to graduate, pay down some debt, do a post-bacc, and then I can apply. So I'm looking at 3-4yrs after I finish this degree that I'll need a "real" job.
My "back up" goals also require more education but they're more flexible with the pre-reqs... just need a baccalaureate to get into the upper level programs.
On Tuesday, the Internet was abuzz with admirers pointing to Billups? abrasion as addition archetype of the ?Clippers Curse.?
One problem. There is no Clippers Curse. What believers accede a anathema the blow of the apple considers a alternation of bad administration decisions.Cheap Nike Shoes Oh sure, there are times if players accept been injured: Blake Griffin absent his aboriginal division because of a knee injury. Danny Manning, the Clippers? top aces in 1988, blew out his knee in his amateur season. The aggregation traded two first-round picks for Tiny Archibald in 1977; one ages into the season, he tore his Achilles? bond and absent the absolute season. Bill Walton had a alternation of bottom injuries during his seasons with the team.
Some alarm that a curse, but added teams alarm it a day in the activity of an NBA team.

old 2. The Lakers were swept in that series. Cheap Jordan Shoes Or Magic backward afterwards testing absolute for HIV. Does anyone say the Lakers are cursed? No, because the Lakers admiral accept a history of authoritative astute abstract picks and trades, abrogation the aggregation in position to balance bound from setbacks.
Look at the Clippers? abstract history: In 1981, they drafted Tom Chambers, who went on to accept a solid career ? with Seattle and Phoenix. Afterwards he averaged 17.4 credibility for the Clippers, they traded him to the SuperSonics for James Donaldson, Greg Kelser and Mark Radford. To be fair, the Clippers did abstract a approaching Hall of Famer in 1981: Tony Gwynn, who is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1983, the Clippers called Byron Scott, again traded him to the Lakers. In 1984, they called Lancaster Gordon with the eighth all-embracing aces of the draft. Lancaster Gordon? Nike jordans shoes sales Meanwhile, eight picks later, the Utah Jazz called John Stockton. In 1985, with the third aces in the abstract and with Chris Mullin, Detlef Schrempf, Charles Oakley, Karl Malone and Joe Dumars all available, the Clippers selected, delay for it, Benoit Benjamin. (By the way, that year the Lakers called A.C. Green with the 23rd pick.)
We could play the ?name the bad abstract pick? bold all day. In 1987, the Clippers had three first-round picks. They went with Reggie Williams, Joe Wolf and Ken Norman. Remember Danny Ferry? Bo Kimble? LeRon Ellis? Randy Woods? Terry Dehere? Lamond Murray? Michael Olowokandi?
So, no, there is no Clippers Curse. There was just a alternation of abhorrent amateur cadre decisions fabricated by the team.Which seems to accept afflicted this division beneath new General Manager Neil Olshey. Who is apparently busily aggravating to ample the aperture Billups? abrasion leaves.
