Jeremy, I so get “not feeling my current resume”. Have someone you trust help you with it. We are never the best judges of our strengths, especially when looking for a new position. All the best!

Hello Jo! Template is on the way, feel free to pass along questions. Remember – be specific about what you want first, then have a trusted friend help you craft a draft. I promise you’ll spend less time staring at the wall that way!

Hi Jill! Template is on the way. Thanks for your patience, I’m indulging my passion – travel. It sounds like you share the same. Have a good friend (not the cynical, critical one!) help you put together a resume full of precise vocabulary (not the typical “multi-tasking, team player, blah, blah). Take the time to write down the kind of work experience you want to have on a cruise ship, you’ll have a much greater likelihood of getting what you want by being specific! Feel free to drop me questions. M

I love your energy, if i can hold at least have of the enthusiasm you have in my resume I’ll be able to achieve any job I ask for. If you could send me an energizing template I would so greatly appreciate it. I’m trying to get a job on a cruise ship so my biggest goal is to have an enthusiastic approach to life and what it has to offer. Thanks again, have a wonderful day.

Aimee, resume template is on the way! The most important thing is to have someone else (not you, not you!) guide you through the process. We cannot present our strongest selves and write and edit at the same time. Remember to break from the monotony of the job search.

Thomas! Thanks for stopping by. I’ve e-mailed you the sample resume I mentioned. I promise you will have a stellar resume faster (and with less pain) if you have someone (friend, lover, relative) take your old resume, interview you and then draft your new resume in the new format. Other people can see your strengths much more clearly than you – especially during a career change. Have you written down the key aspects of your new career? That will help make the connections between your experience and future work.

Loving this article, and been having the same problems with my resume. Try as I might, I just don’t like what I’ve written. Of course, trying to change careers is not helping my vision, as I don’t know exactly what could be required of me.
