    lol. thats kind of funny. I make it sound bigger then it was. It was just me and my bro in law (he has his own business) he makes between 25k-30k a year, our transportation was his beat up 96' tacoma in which he had 2 ladders, 2 pressure washers, and a long trailor hooked on to it. We were ghetto. Didn't do any of the listed above.

    Also...

    I need some help with this application. it ask you all those questions that really depend on how you word it, and your future goals. The questions are:

    Reason you are applying:

    Responsibilities of current position:

    Most recent accomplishments in your current position:

    Education/Specialized training:

    I mean, I can't just answer them fullheartedly. I have to say things they REALLY want to hear.

    the whole point of a resume is to make yourself appear more qualified and talented than you really are!!!

    Mulder has hit the nail on the head on most things, but you might want to also include any awards, honors, etc - stuff that is tangible that is a reflection of the qualitative stuff you have listed.

    Example - "Was Walgreen's employee of the month for December 2003"

    Good luck.

    Mulder did a great job LT, but I would leave this part off ~ just place it on your application in the education section and discuss it at the interview if it comes up.

    If someone has a negative opinion of GEDs then they might not give you the initial interview ~ plus you're not being dishonest leaving it off the resume.

    goodluck :)
