Hey guys I am new to Veeky Forums and I really need some help with my resume. I know its pretty garbage and I'm sure the trash man will come and absorb it into his fat rolls. I need some serious advice on where to start and what people can get away with writing on their resumes for embellishment without going too overboard.

2nd sentence of the summary need rewriting, and generally is generic. A lot of people have skills section but i don't see the point if you put down Things that really should be standard. Just remember to Cater cv to the job you want to get

Why the fuck would you say the fucking same thing twice??

If you're even going to have a "skills" section, I'd put it at the end, you should lead with education and then work experience if you have any.

Why the fuck do employers ask for CVs for the most basic jobs???

What the balls is this? You are in college? Put the education section first. Put your expected degree completion there. Include extracurriculars (sports, school paper, fraternity, clubs). Don't have any? Get some.
Get rid of that fucking horrible grid and find a way to include those skills in the description of your tasks at Woolworth's. Focus on what you did and how it helped the organization achieve their goals.
If you so want to have a skills section, classify them in business groups... ie:
Managerial: Schedule Management, Inventory Management
Computer: MS Office, Social Media
Retail: Customer Satisfaction
Also consider going to your school's Career Services center. They usually offer free resume critiques and guidance.
I will monitor this thread today. Reply if you have any appreciative questions.

Guy that wrote the resume here looking for a job, OP is my friend that uploaded this.
I'm unemployed, I was supposed to join the Australian Army but I can't due to a medical issue with my foot. I also don't go to Uni either.
I appreciate your advice, thank you.
Should I add hobbies into this resume or not? I box to keep fit, I like languages and history.
About the organisation goals, does that need to be basic or in depth, because I was a bottom of the line worker stocking shelves.
Also because my resume is absolute bottom of the line, does it matter if it's just 1 page or 1 and a half?
Again thanks for your help.

Also I had work experience in highschool with 5 or so different plumbers but I cannot for the life of me recall any of the company names, should I add that to work experience on the resume and just not include the business names or just not put any of that in there at all because i'm not applying for a plumber job
