Resume Writing

[Nutty 2]

My husband is a Chemical Engineer. I've been trying to write his resume, but it is so hard! THe level of work he did was high and quite technical. But when he mocked up his first resume, it was filled with redundant, simplistic sentences. There was no listing of methods, practices, testing standards etc, etc. on it.

I know my husband will have to take a lower level job because he is new to the US. If only because his communication/writing skills IN ENGLISH are not advanced enough.

But it is also making the resume writing a B!+@h!

If you have an employment agency or workforce in your area, it may benefit you to visit. Some have programs on their resource room computers that help build resumes and will even give you list of possible wordings for job duties. One great resume builder is WinWay Resume. Some of the employment agencies have this installed on the computers so that you can use them. You may even be able to download the program. You can also speak to staff for a list of what the labor market is in your area. They should be able to give you an idea of what the wages are like for his occupation in your area. Good luck:)
