Hi S- - -,



Sorry I took so long to respond to this. It looks pretty good. My thing with resumes is that I think they're really little stories you tell about yourself, so you have to constantly ask yourself, "is this the story I want to tell potential employers?"



To me, this resume defines you as someone who has technical and musical abilities. It demonstrates that you have many specific skills with particular software packages. I think there is a larger story here that you need to bring to the surface, specifically:



- re-emphasize your Project Management skills

- show your audience that in addition to *using* software, you also have talents as a *developer* of specific applications

- Perhaps more detail about your ability to manage human resources and interface cheerfully with engineers. Specific software packages are great, but being able to work with people and manage projects is priceless.

- "enhance methods of documentation" is a little vague, but sounds interesting.



comments attached to numbered items:



1. "playback within the strict requirements of the internet" --the internet per se doesn't have requirements, but there are specific protocols such as streaming audio that have particular requirements, so you wanna use the right buzzwords in the right places. The right terminology will also trigger the software that sorts online resumes.



2. "art software applications" might sound better as "graphic design applications" or some other industry term.



3. "compose writings for software applications" might be turned to "developed documentation for..."



4. the employee of the year nomination might be considered, "d*mning with faint praise".



5. As mentioned above, you might want to emphasize larger abilities as well as specific skills. So instead of talking about how you did data entry with a database, mention, when appropriate, if you designed the database.



data entry=ditch digging (sorta)

database design=telling someone else where to dig



So my big thing is to suggest that, in at least some of the versions of this that you send out, that you not be afraid to position yourself as supervisor/management material. Another good ability to emphasize in your revisions is to demonstrate that not only do you know a bunch of apps, but that you are really good at learning how to learn, at picking up new applications quickly and *designing* apps and multimedia applications.



Take this advice with a grain of salt and do what you think is best.
