06/23/2006 Archived Entry: "My Resume"
So I've spent like 3 days working on this, and I think it's pretty good. I'm trying this "new" thing were you group your work experience based on the type of experience it is instead of listing what you've done at each job. This gives a really good overview of what you've done with each skill set.
Now it's up to you guys! I need some "critique" of it. Be as brutal as you want, look over everything, the smallest detail from layout, font size, table width, spelling, to actual content (like..do my points make sense? do they say anything?) . If you feel especially nice, you can download the resume, makes changes to it and email it back to me.
Here you go, chop chop!

I personally dislike the fact that the 2nd page is only 2/3rd full. The first page is very full of information. You could rearrange the info to get two full pages by replacing enumerations by bullets.

The first page is a little to dense. space it out to fill the second page.
Replace "Rayne" with your name :)
and the correct contact information.
postgreSQL not posGreSQL
MySQL not mySQL

Off topic I know, but it was ridiculous that every notation on your list of last postings was spam, so I decided to put on one legitimate posting...
And I thought you fixed the spacing issue when we were going over it.

I have upped the font size to 12, it's more readable and fuller on the second page.

You seem to put little weight on your education by putting it at the end of your resume. Is this what you want? Were the thousands of dollars spent at Waterloo worth so little?
Secondly, you seem to have too much info. I'm no resume expert, but it just looks cluttered.
I doubt any of this has helped...:P!

LTTP:You're missing an objective.
Like dan said, I'd list your education second, not last!
Avoid abbreviations. ie"other CS"
Needs more panels. :P
