Sean or anyone else, I am getting my résumé together and am hitting a brick wall. Can you share any tips for what to do or more importantly NOT to do? If anyone is willing to review mine and one other person's I would REALLY appreciate it!!!

Put the name of the job you want withing the first several words of a resume. So if your applying to be an HR rep, your resume should read

"HR rep looking to fill roles specializing. ......blah blah"

Or

"Recognized and published HR rep ready blah blah blah"

This helps a ton in getting your resume seen.

After that it can be pretty job specific. Highlight your skills, then note tasks and achievements in your job history.

A cover letter is sometimes welcomed too. I don't use that approach normally, but I might for a smaller corporation or firm if I'm applying a bit out of my normal wheel house.

Keep all bullet points action related. Only highlighting TRUE acheivements

Don't reuse action words

Keep the tense the same

Make it look pretty from 10' away with your layout

Same font throughout, highlighting via caps and bold NOT other fonts

I'd start with writing down my achievements line by line. Goal is to make it about 5 pages. Then pick the best ones and format from there. Need to get it down to one page, but if it doesn't start out as 5 it'll be a shitty one page.

Avoid using trite phrases like "highly motivated" that is easy to see you are full of shit. Instead show me with details and let me make that judgement. This is the number 1 failure of resumes.

That's retail. Only fools pay retail

And even with the Chrysler supplier plan it'll be more...without the performance mods.

That being said, I can get a used one and modify it and still lease it. I found the Woodhouse pages on both the Vipers and the dealership, but see no 'street performance' section. Is it all word of mouth or do they advertise?

They have a link somewhere on their page. They are one of only a handful of respectable viper and SRT dealers in the nation. They sell so much performance parts and vehicles that dodge created a special edition ACR convertible. Actual wind tunnel testing and all for the different areo than the regular ACR coupe.

You can go look at viperclub.com and see that they don't fuck around. And their prices are normally cheaper than anyone else in the nation.

And either NE or IA? Not terribly far from Minneapolis.

I find all sorts of great reviews, but no links back to sort of see options etc.

Rain rain and more rain

They are in Blair, Nebraska.

They ship via their own enclosed trailers as well.

Stand & stool. $400 can buy you a lift to raise it up or down.

Raise the desk or raise the chair? Link?

My desk is already high.....

This and writing my achievements is super super hard. I can usually help others with a resu, but doing my own is tough.

Exactly why you need to start in brainstorming mode and create at least 5 pages. Super hard to make things concise the first time around.

IF you write well, you can usually even keep 80% of the list from the 5 pages and get it into 1 page. Those resumes are golden.

Dear Sir,

Good day and compliments. This letter will definitely

come to you as a huge surprise, but I implore you to take

the time to go through it carefully as the decision you make

will go off a long way to determine the future and continued

existence of the entire members of my family.

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name

is Dr. (Mrs.) Mariam Abacha, the wife of the late head of

state and commander in chief of the armed forces of the federal

republic of Nigeria who died on the 8th of June 1998.

My ordeal started immediately after my husband's

death on the morning of 8th June 1998, and the subsequent

take over of government by the last administration. The present

democratic government is determined to portray all the good

work of my late husband in a bad light and have gone as far

as confiscating all my late husband's assets, properties,

freezing our accounts both within and outside Nigeria. As

I am writing this letter to you, my son Mohammed Abacha is

undergoing questioning with the government. All these measures

taken by past/present government is just to gain international

recognition.

I and the entire members of my family have been

held incommunicado since the death of my husband, hence I

seek your indulgence to assist us in securing these funds.

We are not allowed to see or discuss with anybody. Few occasions

I have tired traveling abroad through alternative means all

failed.

It is in view of this I have mandated DR GALADIMA

HASSAN, who has been assisting the family to run around on

so many issues to act on behalf of the family concerning the

substance of this letter. He has the full power of attorney

to execute this transaction with you.

My late husband had/has Eighty Million USD ($80,000,000.00)

specially preserved and well packed in trunk boxes of which

only my husband and I knew about. It is packed in such a way

to forestall just anybody having access to it. It is this

sum that I seek your assistance to get out of Nigeria as soon

as possible before the present civilian government finds out

about it and confiscate it just like they have done to all

our assets.

I implore you to please give consideration to

my predicament and help a widow in need.

May Allah show you mercy as you do so?

Your faithfully,

Dr (Mrs.) Mariam Abacha (M.O.N)

N/B: Please contact Dr Galadima Hassan on this

e-mail address for further briefing and modalities

Fucker, I started reading that.

Drove a Durango Citadel 5.7 and a JGC Summit 5.7 at lunch. Jeep is WAY nicer on the inside. Dodge handled better.

Fucker, I started reading that.

 

Next time I'll email it to you.

Spoke to Mark at Woodhouse. Nothing on the new engines in a sport ute. Have to go back to 2011.

Even went so far to ask if he'd rip the motor and piggyback a new controller of his choice.

He said, Jeep SRT8 or German were my options.

I guess the last 80 hours of bullshit internet reading is wasted and gone.

Shit, 2013 has the crappy GPS setup.
