I want a job

[Sharfalma]

Lawler you are missing several large chunks of a good resume, including position objective, skills, and related experience. If you're work experience is lacking, don't make it front and center. You need to mask it with a lot of other fun facts that make them think you are a well rounded person. Also, if the job is customer service you need to emphasize the customer service aspect of all of your jobs. The home delivery and installation job you have listed is a great way to demonstrate your people skills. Talk about that one in detail, that you were in actual people's homes, working with them to install and troubleshoot their products. That'd be a really good point to hit. Here is the resume I used to get my apprenticeship as a game designer, if it helps. You can copy the template if you think it would work for you. Obviously the formatting and font/text style are different in the actual resume.
