Help/Advice on my resume please :)

Post by SonicSnoop »

Hi, I read the post about the resumes and you all seemed to be a real knowledgable bunch and I desperatly need help with mine. Im not going for a PHP coding job(yet) cause i am still learning. I was wondering if you all would be willing to take a look at it and help me make it better.. Now the main problem I have with it is the fact I got laid off a year ago after 9/11 and have had no luck finding anything , How should I handle that time gap on it?? thats got to really look bad :( also I had a job for over a year but had 3 differnt positions should I keep em seperate like i have em or combine them? Thank you in advance for taking the time to help me out!

The problem i s goign to be the never worked 12 months at one job problme..

My suggestion is that you contact each supervisor and ask them if you could list yourself as one company under your name servicing them as a contractor..in that way you could list one long time period and list htem as clients..

The toehr item you need to do is even though your are still learning php ..you need to start puttin gup your code and talking about it..

I have handled my post 9-11 time gap by actually working on some other code and offering my coding services..

I hope this helps
