So... I'm tweaking out my resume, and since the company I'm interviewing at is in need of some IT work also, I added some of my Comp-sci and hobbyist activities.

Yeah, well.... After printing it out.... I noticed that spellcheck had missed a word...

Twice.... I misspelled computer as cumputer.

Less porn, more mavis bacon typing me-thinks.

Did you submit it that way?

Oh and good luck with the new gig

Oh god no... I always triple check everything. Sometimes stuff on the screen doesn't look as good in real life.

And I also proof read anything I print out.

see what I did there?

My advise is, get someone else to proof read it. Proof reading your own stuff can be pretty dangerous. Dn't rely on spell checker either.

What kind of job are you going for?

Gargamel · 02-24-11, 01:44 AM

A water recovery company. Post fire and spills type work. Newer company, chance to get in early, right up there too with my HAZMAT training and work I used to do.

Just tired of EMS, do miss the the runs, but not the business.

Have you done any type of hazzardous chemical clean-up? I've had a little bit of HAZMAT training, but I call someone else to clean up the mess.

Gargamel · 02-24-11, 03:22 AM

I've done a little, mainly bodies, never really got onto a team, but I do have the 100 hour (Tech) certification.

nikimcbee · 02-24-11, 03:29 AM

I've done the safety training for a lot of that, but god save us all, if I had to use my knowledge. I just call the work (internal number)version of 911.
