I'd say the fisrt resume was not too good, but the second one one was only average. Anyone with half a brain would know to merely pick up a book on resume writing at the local library, or take a free class at your local community center, library, or school. No-brainer.

I'm actually curious, the revamped resume contains the term "date base". Forgive me, but I'm unfamiliar with this term. Does is mean database?

Very nice redo! From trying to redo my own resume, all I can say is UHG! Though after 2 weeks of muddling though I'm now down to the tweaking!

FIVE SECONDS!! That is the usual amount of time spent reviewing a resume, that is from a survey of Fortune 500 companies, I being a small fish will agree to that.
Reading a resume has the same effect as listening to someone tell their latest dream, numbing...
To give that resume any value... work experince is number one, unless it is a tech job, then experince plus education.
If you want a job really bad, go person to person and sell your self.

Did anyone else catch the error in the "revamped" resume? "Managed companies data base" was listed under the administrative assistant position at Electronics Construction. I believe it should be "Managed company's database" - singular, possessive...
Don't know if spell check would have caught that one, but as a manager, I sure would have, had that resume come across my desk. It would have ended up in the trash. Sorry!!!
