I was recently going through my box of chicken nuggets when I ran across an old resume. As I reviewed it, I seriously considered updating my current resume to reflect this format.
PERSONAL INFORMATION:
Age: 18
Height and Weight: 5’4″; 105 pounds
Health: Excellent
SCHOOL ACTIVITIES:
President of FHA – Future Homemakers of America
EDUCATION:
Skills Attained: Type – 55 wpm. Speedwriting – 40 wpm.
Office Machines: Ten-key electronic calculator; typewriter; computer; xerox machine.
As I reviewed these skills, I informed my part-time employer that my experience with office machines is clearly what helped me land this job. Considering they still use DOS, I thought this was a fair correlation. She, however, reminded me that, only three days prior, she had to tell me to flip the papers over in order to make a copy.
With the exception of my health, not much on this old resume is accurate, but the format is awesome. I plan to update it and submit it to as many companies as possible….just as soon as I get this bun out of the oven.
