1. Organize your resume, break it into a 4-5 sections, including: personal info, objective (optional), work experience, education, other (computer skills, software, honors, etc.) In each section, highlight each life experience and bulletize the key points for that life experience. Common rule of thumb is that a resume should only be one page, 2 max...use the space wisely, you are trying to sell your skill set to the employer. Ultimately, the goal of the resume is to get an interview. There are a lot of good books/websites which will help. 2. Make sure you know what you want to do, and target your resume and jobsearch to allow you to do what you want to do. 3. Use the web to find jobs, specifically any type of tech job...classifieds will generally be a waste of time in the tech field. 4. Not exactly sure where you are in Alabama, but I'd seriously recommend looking for jobs in Atlanta, there are a lot of tech jobs here, and while the economy is slowing, there are still a lot of jobs. That's enough for now. If you want more info, email me at JeffLMills@hotmail.com.
