Not the ones I applg for. Typically say "submit resume"

I certainly don't mind, someone with a different life can certainly add words or phrases I don't have the experience in.

I just sent my list of questions. Once I get it back with answers I'll rewrite and reformat and ask for anything else I need.

As it is now it LOOKS like he should have 2 or more resumes on hand, one targeted to trades, one to retail/office/service.

And a kicka$$ cover letter would help wonders for each job for which he applies. With so little actual experience, you have to talk your way into an interview, thats where a cover letter comes in. Then at the interview you have to talk your way into the job offer.


I have 4 resumes myself.

Time for me to go back to the drawing board I guess. There's got to be someway I can get hired. There's got to be something I can do for getting hired at a grocery store. If someone covered in tattoo's can get hired, I'm sure I can too.
