Spent 2 hours on the phone with Gilly critiquing his resume. He interviews well so we need not worry about that. Once he is satisfied that he has a final resume product, we need to get him into the door somewhere.

 

I interview well?!?!?

I need more confidence, haha.

The reason I "sighed" in the chat thread is because I was worried about talking to you! A lot needed to be done to my resume, and I was worried about what to say to you. It wasn't that I didn't want to talk to you!

I will be (hopefully) finishing up my resume today. I have all my notes ready to go for it. My mom is starting to feel the affects of chemo, so I will be by her side most of the day.

 

What's to worry about? My pants go on one leg at a time, just like yours.

 

update:

Resume is almost done getting revamped again. I need to beef up one more section and then I will be able to re post. I will then focus on the cover letter again (which for some reason I'm having writers block with, apparently I don't think too highly of myself haha.)

Will post tomorrow before work.

 

Okay, I think its is to a point where I can send it in. However, if there is anything that should be added or taken away let me know..

again the stuff at the very top and very bottom are nothing. Its just what happens when i convert a text document to a pdf/jpeg.

 

Gilly, I need to sleep on it over the weekend - but 3 quick comments. Did the Northrop Grumman project include a prototype build. If so, that should be added. You have a comma typo in the section on the Franklin & Co. On the fraternity, move Johns Hopkins up one line, with a comma in front, drop "Maryland Alpha Chapter". No one cares what chapter and the work you did there is more important.

By the way, did Sig Ep ever have any "Goblin in the Bush" or "Hell's Angels" parties while you were there? They weren't that wild in my time. Jeff

 

I will add:

" The prototype passed all tests successfully with the company being very pleased with the results."

Typos will be fixed and MDA Chapter will be dropped.



we did not have goblin in the bush or hell's angels parts... although we did have many "wild parties" in my years of living at the house. I normally stayed in my room because i quickly out grew the "party scene" after i moved into the house. It was said my senior year that Sigep had the "best parties" by many o' froshies.


edit:

what is a "goblin in the bush" party?!?!?! beyond my time possibly?

 

"very pleased with the results" is not quantifiable. Employers want to see "saved x amount of money by implementing this project" or "successfully deployed this to x amount of users".

 

Say "designed and built" then say something like "prototype tested successfully" but don't say anything about company pleased with results.

 

Originally, it was named after Helga Bush, a fine German lass from Calvert Street.
