i'm confident with the layout and format of my resume. I formatted it right from a book that my ex got from the tech school he graduated from. i've been complimented on that and my cover letters numerous times. I had it reviewed by the career services department at my massage school and they all agreed that it was great. I also have 3 differnt resumes...one listing my massage qualifications, one with my clerical and customer service skills and the other is a dry, general one that i can change to list whatever skills and qualifications i need for any other job i'm applying for.
I think it's whats ON my resume that's causing the issue. The jobs that i had were all for less than a year b/c i didnt want to work while i was in my Sr year of HS or while i was in Massage school...
i dont know, i can't figure out any other reason that i'm not getting hired anywhere. I have a good personality, im friendly, i have the customer service and retail skills...so what the hell is the deal?

Aside from the long hours it's an easy job and pays more than decent if you're good at it. Plus you don't really need any sort of qualifications whatsoever. Getting hired at a car dealership is of equivalent difficulty to flippin burgers.

but you have to feel confident in what you're doing or you arent going to do well.
Which is why i never pursued the real estate thing. I've thought about it since i was in High school, but I've always questioned myself.

I am one of the most annoying members on HAN, if you can argue diplomatically with me you've proved yourself to be somewhat capable of dealing with worse filth that comes into retail stores, banks, etc. Point is you kinda failed because you ended up calling people names. A mindset like that will often cause the employer to turn you away. Remember the jobs you are going after you have to deal with annoying customers.

:eh: i handle customers and the general public a little differently than i handle people on HAN. If it's my job, i'm not going to call someone a name. I can remain calm, for the most part, face to face with someone unless they start disrespecting me. The reason i get so irritated and lash out on here is because it's hard for everyone to understand what i'm trying to say without hearing my tone of voice and seeing my body language and expressions, and it becomes quite frustrating.
I'm A LOT friendlier than you people think I am.

How does her internet personality translate to a job setting? You have no idea what she is like in that kind of a situation. Just because your internet personality sometimes crosses over into your regular life, doesn't mean that happens to everyone. I argue a lot on HAN with lots of people. I've dealt with extremely stupid customers, irritated customers, etc...and not once raised my voice or been out of line in any way. It's not hard for normal people to be civil in a public setting.

You have to be able to handle any situation regardless of whether its a job, a forum or anything. I deal with jerks all day on the phone, I've lost my cool and said stuff only to have my boss remind me that I will have to start looking for a new job if I don't behave diplomatically.
Just stop. You don't know me in person, let alone in a job setting. I know how to handle myself with customers. I've worked retail and customer service jobs before. I dealt with elderly people calling, yellng at me b/c somethnig was on their bill that they didnt think shouldve been. I dealt with angry customers and impatient customers all the time. I never, ONCE, lost my job b/c of my personality, attitude, temper..whatever.
And to remind, I'm a massage therapist..which means that i have to deal with people on a more intimate level than just sitting behind a desk talking to them on the phone. My clients have to feel comfortable with me, after all...i am touching them and seeing them in a very vulnerable manner. Not anyone can do what i do. Whether it's my mom, my best friend, or a stranger, i still treat each client who lays on my table the same way.
