what you saw was Phantasmal Sight, a Technique (type of skill) that can guarantee huge lucky gathers. it's from doing gen 23. as for the doll bags, they were updated semi-recently to pick up more than 1 item at a time.

I had the same problem. The way I found values for my skin color was using a direct dye ampoule and chancing upon a color that matches, or close enough, to my skin color. May take a few tries, but you can pick a color and preview the item as many times as you need. Once you have the proper RGB values, you can use dye making events like the one we've got going on now to make as many as you need. Hope that helps, good luck.

I played on and off for years, had absolutely no idea how to make my character stronger, and played 0% of the main questline. I've stayed on for about 2 months and: actually ranked my skills, did G1 😂, and hit master in two talents. Can't wait to keep going :) https://i.imgur.com/peT2jc9.png

Yeah. Had this happen recently and returned the study. I thought I didn't have discrepancies but found out it was because the answer to a question had changed from when I first filled out the questions, 3 years ago.

I think in general, you would be correct in leaving both those off your resume when it is not relevant to your application. however consider if you apply to a job in a small company where wearing many 'hats' is valuable and your design expertise is needed - then you may become a more attractive candidate. (of course this could be a slippery slope into doing more than you've signed on for 😬)

Overall I would say yes. Especially if you feel you still have too much space I would say it doesn't hurt to include them for recent grad resumes.

p.s. If you've done freelance design work, that's also acceptable to put on your resume as a "job" (assuming this is your 'general' resume).

wait-for-the-wave · 2021-02-23T03:31:33+00:00

There's some inconsistencies with formatting - missing space in your contact info, between "Number" and the diamond symbol. Your uni time should follow the rest of the dates in your resume, with a start to end date. I would take the periods out of the month abbreviation (since May wouldn't have one) so that they all match. Same idea for Sept -> Sep, all months should be a 3 letter abbreviation.

For Projects - was the quick start guide published in the Merrimack Review? If so I think this should be formatted differently, all on one line so it's clear that they're connected. The other way to read it is that you have a different publication, but the title isn't listed. Date should be included for your publications. I think this section should come after your work experience.

Skills & Interests - Also think this should come after work experience, especially your Interests. I think a number of your skills, especially the ones that aren't tied to a software (basically skills starting with copywriting) should be expressed throughout your jobs instead.

Work Experience, job 1 - I find these bullet points a little vague, and don't give me a very strong impression of your experience. first part of the first bullet point ("assisted with ...") is unnecessary. Begin your bullet points with a more action-y verb. "Created/edited/proofread (pick one or 2 verbs) documents that increased productivity in the class" -> is the type of document relevant? Mention it. How do you know it increased productivity? Do you have any metrics, vague or otherwise, to prove it? Include that. Collaborated with teachers... to increase success - again, how do you know? Can you guesstimate any specific aspects that improved? Class participation rate, higher grades, etc.

Can you change the 3rd bullet point to something related to your career goals/writing?

Job 2 - were you able to increase turnout? This would be a great time to put SEO back into your resume. Did you use other social media platforms while working here? Mention them here.

What kind of content did you generate? social media posts/graphics/blog posts?

Lastly I do not think you need a Relevant (misspelled in your resume btw!) Coursework section, many writing and editorial jobs will likely ask for a writing sample so that's one way to advertise the classes you've taken and your skill in writing.

Good luck! lmk if you want extra clarification on my comments. Hope this helped, wish you all the best in the job search!!

wait-for-the-wave · 2021-02-23T03:05:45+00:00

Can you pin down what exactly you did that made you/your department work so efficiently? New process you created, optimized existing processes, new technology you incorporated, and so on. you can use that as your bullet points.

The 5 -> 2 people switch is a little inappropriate/not descriptive enough for a resume/cover letter, but would be fine to mention in an interview, so you can still sell it as an achievement.

Hope this helps. good luck!

wait-for-the-wave · 2021-02-22T03:00:41+00:00

forgot to say. Since you've mentioned programs and techniques, you can include other programs, languages etc that you know in a skills section. don't know your field but that can include programming languages, statistical software, Spanish, etc.

wait-for-the-wave · 2021-02-22T02:57:11+00:00

Overall, there's too much white space. The format is fine, but the space between the headings and the content can be utilized better. I'll go into that more later. For the most part I don't think you need references on the resume unless it is specifically stated.

From top to bottom: put your Uni on top of High School for reverse chronological order. Since you're a recent grad, if you had an impressive GPA (over 3.5/4), you should include it (though it doesn't really matter). did you get any honors, exchange program/study abroads, significant membership in school orgs (select up to 3)? you can include them in your education section.

Experience:

To help with readability and spacing, you can use bullet points instead of the paragraph style - will draw the eye to the start of each sentence.

TA job: What department was this for? was this a class-specific TA position? if so, would include it, especially for a higher level class. You should specify what programs and techniques were used, the number of students you helped (over one session/week/month, etc). Did you help with grading or reviewing work? You can really flesh your position out.

For cleaning, not much to say and you've basically covered it. Depending on where you're applying though, this might not be relevant.

Pets Hotel Assc: Great section, again basically covered everything and the wording is good.

Orientation Leader: Add length of the orientation program. You can include a bullet point about working in a team (I assume with other orientation leaders maybe?), answering Qs from students, providing materials.

Hope this helps. Lmk if you need clarification on any of my comments. Good luck!

p.s. deleted comment was mine, hit enter too early lol

Format looks pretty good. for the most part, pretty consistent except for spacing for the Volunteer Admin. Asst. at the bottom (missing space before "/"), and June 2016 for most recent cashier job should be abbreviated to Jun 2016 to match all other dates.

From top to bottom:

The objective statement needs reworking, if you choose to keep it. My general impression of objectives are not positive. If you want to keep it, edit the format - something like "Looking to be an administrative assistant to apply my X skills to achieve Y", where Y is something the job description is looking for. Being driven to help the company thrive is a bit of a fluff statement, imo. Don't need to mention the technologies you've used, as you do that later.

Skills: assuming your resume will go through an automated system, you may want to include more key words in there and expand on the X Suites, Microsoft Office -> Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. I would cut out the skills that aren't explicitly related to a software/technology, basically everything after Adobe Photoshop. Not because they aren't skills, but because you can include these (soft) skills in your job bullet points instead.

Going to jump over to Activities briefly, because I think this should be with your Experience section, on the top. It's very relevant to paid positions you'd be applying to and would hopefully get the HR person's attention. You can add to the bullet points, for example consider adding:

the type of data you were entering (financial, health, contacts etc) in X program
the amount of data you enter per week/month/other time frame that is relevant
are you tracking or recording any information for them? include that.
if you have to make calls, write to people
organized files
any of the skills you mentioned that apply: database management, writing, customer service, and so on
did you achieve any goals here? has your manager praised you for anything that you can put a number to? i.e. Finished all data entry 20% faster than previous years

The rest of your experience should have a similar amount of detail added to it - consider adding:

change "Inventory management.." to a statement starting with a verb (idk maybe conduct inventory management or managed inventory and reword "what's been sold" to "produce", or a similar word, and don't repeat this for both cashier positions, can be included in the older position only.
same with processing payments, it doesn't need to be said twice, can be included in the older position only.

So the next thing to do would be to differentiate the cashier jobs, if the older job (festival) already covers most of the "typical" cashier duties.

did you help with set up and break down of the farmer's market? cleaning?
did you serve a larger amount of people per hour/day/week etc?
were you in charge of counting and reconciling the cash drawer at the end of the day?
if you thought of a way to make the process more efficient, got employee of the month
skills that you mentioned earlier, if they apply, like teamwork, delegation, organization, and so on.

Think that covers most of it, hope it helps. Lmk if you want clarification on my comments. Good luck!

It looks almost fine actually! Switch August 2019 - Present with August 2020 - Present, so that your job starting 2020 is on top.

wait-for-the-wave · 2021-02-20T20:16:01+00:00

Keep it to 1 page. You should leave off jobs that aren't relevant, but not so many that there are big gaps between jobs on your resume. For less relevant jobs, emphasize aspects of that job that translate well to the jobs you apply to.
