Durkin Resume Advice: Quick, Easy, and Sexy
| Tweet |
I got a lot of feedback from last week’s post asking me for resume help. SO! Let’s have some fun. WOO WOO! Let’s build your resume. Let’s get you employed! Why the hell not, right?!?! RIGHT! Well, to make things quick and easy (and sexy), I’ll ask you to do the following: I want you to take my resume, and make it your own.
Let’s begin:
- Open up my resume on Google Docs
- Once open… Go to “File” and click “Download As”. Then select “Word.” GREAT! NOW…
- Open up the doc and delete my name from the resume and put your own name there. This is now YOUR resume. BUT, we need to clean this puppy up.
- Delete my phone number, email address, and address and place your own on it.
- Delete my university and put your own.
- Delete my GPA and put your own. Continue on in this fashion from top to bottom, line by line. If you have never received any scholarships, then simply delete this section. If you have never played on a collegiate athletics team, then simply delete this section.
Spend time paying attention to formatting. No periods on your sentences. Italicize your dates. Make sure your indenting is consistent. Make sure you bold when I bold. Make sure your job posting and job location are formatted the same way I have them in mine. Garamond font works very nicely I’ve found.
Once you’re complete, save your resume like this “Firstname_LastName_Resume.doc” and send it onnnnn back to me at TheDurkinOrganization@gmail.com.
We can finalize your resume, and move on to what’s more important: getting that job you want.
If you’d like to see a PDF version of my resume, feel free to open this puppy up:

In future posts later I’ll be detailing very specifically why I recommend the order in which I present my resume, as well as the importance of scholarships, athletics, and interests.
Tell me what you think of this post gangsters.
My name is Ryan Durkin. I write so that I will never forget where I came from and what I stand for. I hope that this will motivate young people to realize their potential and become more productive than they ever imagined. That would make me truly happy.
Thank you for this post Durkin! I definitely am going to take you on this offer, it would be a huge help to hear your two cents.
You got it man. Hit me up when you need help.
