putting together your resume

a resume is suppose to highlight what you have done and where you have been and accomplished up to a certain point, but what happens if you are clueless about your own purpose and being as a worker in the workforce thus far? what can turn it around and truly highlight your strengths and goals? alot of the times some people tend to make a life story of what they have done as to just getting down to the basics. some people have there resumes tossed into a trash can for being long winded and beating around the bush. you don't need to tell your whole lifestory and just get to the recent and be direct and brief but full. so many things and yet to be detailed. treat your resume as a Greatest Hits album and only make the hits standout. don't put out the 10 demos that sound unpolished or unfocused. cut to the chase is how I approach it and recommend it.
