I am updating my resume and some of the jobs listed on it is pass 10 years old. Should I leave them on it, or take them out. Seeking administrative Assistant position and none of them are related to what I'm trying to achieve.

I'm in the process of updating my resume and general cover letter. I have been at home with my kids on and off over the years. My hope is to honestly address a gappy resume and turn some personal experiences into potential assets. I am completely aware that my "employment experience" section is weak, so I'm looking at highlighting my other skills and personality. I would like to be creative and genuine, and offer a little more insight than is typical, but not so much that it makes people uncomfortable.

What are your thoughts on this? Any tips as I move forward?

Is it ok to send a picture of my resume thru my email to get employment ? Thank you do much for any comments.....Bless Day

I found a site that gives great examples of the language to use on a resume/profile. Click [HERE] (https://www.wozber.com/us/guidebook/experience-statement-examples-for-your-resume/) to see write-ups for Sales, Customer Service, Finance, and Leadership positions. You'll notice that the author uses specific examples with specific numbers of customers served, sales made, percentage-increase in efficiency, etc. You must customize these examples to your own background & experience, but there's NOTHING WRONG with using this as a great start.

Hope this helps! Happy hunting!! #interview #tips #recruitersadvice

After a very long process of background checks, physical and drug screen, references, and interviews, I finally received my starting date!! I have been applying for a while to get a job as a supervisor or manager somewhere. I only started being seriously considered once I created a new resume. I had a really good resume and cover letter before, but it was too much detail. By that I mean I was using one resume for every job. That was a mistake. I didn't lie when I changed my resume....I only focused the details of my skills and experience on what areas the job I was applying for required. This started producting serious calls for interviews and second interviews. If you take the time to read the job's requirements and responsibilities, then include everything about yourself that matches those attributes you will be noticed over someone who has a long, detailed resume about everything they've done. Even if that person has great experience, if their resume is way too long then the things that don't apply to that job will diminish the assets they process that do. Take the time to make a resume that contains your work experience and education, but make your skills compatible with that specific job the ones that you include. I assure you this is worth the time. I know how frustrating it is to spend all day applying for jobs. So it becomes easy to just use an existing resume that resembles the job you're applying for. Once I started taking the time to read the requirements, responsibilities and what they prefer and writing my resume with the details about my skills that match their job listing(but be honest), I suddenly became a candidate that was being taken seriously by companies. We all have special skills, we just have to work at being able to produce them in a relevant, short yet informative way to prove we will be the asset needed for the company.
