Now that my boyfriend has a laptop of his own, I don't feel guilty about taking mine places with me. So today, I brought my laptop to work. Its easier to get things done because it gives me the freedom to be wherever I want rather than having to sit in the office (and ignore the customers) or be glued to the POS computer (which also points me away from customers and means I have to stand up). So, I'm using this opportunity to work on my resume. My last first day of school ever (I think) is tomorrow, and I told myself I would at least put a little work into my resume before then. Another catalyst of this was a job, or rather list of jobs, posted on my Texas AdGrad LinkedIn group. The company is Zimmerman (an Omnicom company). The posted jobs are in Fort Lauderdale(!!!), Irving, New York, and one in Oak Brook Terrace, Illinois. The position that really caught my eye is in Ft. Lauderdale, and is for an Interactive Account Coordinator. The job description doesn't say anything about previous experience in a specific field (which still seems to be one of the biggest hurdles to overcome).
What it does say:
Required Skills
- Bachelor's Degree in Marketing, Advertising, Communications or relevant, equivalent experience.
- College internship with exposure to account services highly preferred.
- Must be computer literate with proficiency in MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, MS Outlook/Entourage with the ability to learn new computer systems.
- Proven ability to manage multiple tasks while working independently
- Strong attention to detail
- A strong sense of urgency and commitment to get the job done quickly and with high quality.
- Attention to detail a must.
- The ability to communicate, both written and verbal, with people at all levels of an organization.
done. perfect. I love it when I read a job description and think... ME. That's ME. I have to get my resume in to these people. Can't miss out on an opportunity like that. Ft Lauderdale!? Yes, please. So, here I am writing a blog instead of working on my resume. but I still feel really misdirected when it comes to my resume. I'm not so sure how I should show that I haven't graduated yet, I don't know how long I should make it, I don't want to make it too much & sound like I'm trying too hard. UGH.
Ok, done blogging for now. I need to get busy. Plus, my crossword buddy just came in.
