According to my new career counseller, Jerry, it does anway.
On Friday I met with Jerry for the first time. (Little known fact...the NY Library offers career services for free. All you have to do is make an appointment and get a library card). He went over everything about my resume to how I can "sell: myslef in 2 minutes. Apparently mumbling and looking around fiddling with my hair, which is what I normally do when talking about my self is not going to land me a job.
Jerry was surprising helpful. He actually to the time to read my resume, and go over it with me...leaving a lot of the figuring out to do myself, he at least put me on the proper path. I say surprisingly, because I've tried using city resources before in my job search and all it turned out to be was a long bus ride, a super crowded office and just all around cluster fuck. Friday's experience was much more beneficial then I had originally thought.
Jerry gave me some exercises to try before rewriting my resume. Seven Stories was the first. I need to some up with 25 things I have done in my life that I was good at, successful at or enjoyed. It was harder then I thought. I made it to 23 things this monring and my answers included "Listening." I'm going to give it another go before I attempte resume number 3,458.
If it's not too embarrassing, I'll post it.
