Any resumé gurus out there want to give mine a critique?
I've been told I currently have a complete disaster of a resumé that will generate exactly zero interviews.

Let me know if you want to take a look and I will PM it to you (I'm not sure if DU will screw up the formatting, but that's ok).

Thanks! :hi:

7. Send it away (see message text)
The worst resume I ever saw was for a clerical position in my IT department. I almost spewed coffee when I read "I know CRT and database" in the qualifications section.

If you aren't old enough to know "CRT", it stands for "cathode ray tube", as in what is in a monitor and television.
