LOL You're writing "objective" on your resume?

That screams kiddie jobs. You need to make your objective stated in the cover letter. And don't ID it specifically as our "objective". HAHA

You should arrange your resume in a technical style, listing your abilities and training in several categories in sort of an unordered list followed up by your schooling (if any above H.S.) and then your references.

But I honestly fail to see what labor or retail has to do with a tech job, so I hope your references are really good.

OK. There's really not much labor in installation, save maybe climbing a ladder and stuff, but my point is yeah, its something, but it's a little outside of your past field experience and it's up to you to make your resume as relevant to the job as possible.

It's better to have a small resume with relevant experience on it rather than a larger one with unrelated job skills on it. Every job you apply to should have it's own custom-tailored resume.

What awesome advice, Datt!

But then again, glow-in-the-dark toilet seats do have a disadvantage... unless you recently swallowed a glow stick

Its too bad they can't make it like basketball, hit the backboard! I'm sure we all had the slam dunk once in a while... Then again, the idea of a rebound makes me feel a little weird about it.
