My Resume
It’s a good idea to keep your resume up to date. I realized recently that mine was about 3 jobs old, so I updated it. Here are a couple of things about me that are NOT on my resume that you might not know:
- I lived in Okinawa, Japan for 3 years when I was 6 years old.
- One of my first jobs as a senior in high school, and in to college: I worked as a “hawker“ at major sporting and other events, selling Snow Cones and Cotton Candy.
- Sports: I “lettered“ in High School… in Mach Mock Trial (kind of like Speech and Debate… but with Lawyers and Witnesses)
- I placed second place at Temecula’s First Annual Swing Dancing Competition.
Update:
- You probably already know this one: I’m a horrible speller when F7 is not available.

You may want to add an “e” to “Team Suit[e]” in the “Professional Development Tools” section on your resume. Also capitalize “In” for the description of your DE job, correct second paragraph “developer” is used instead of “developed” - not sure about the phrase “several few.”
I know it’s picking nits, but it’s what I’m good at.

As long as we’re picking nits, it’s ‘mock’ trial, not ‘mach’ trial… I’m pretty sure, because I watched you, and it wasn’t going the speed of sound..

I think it was about 2 am when I updated that. Tanks
