Make sure your resume matches the specific job needs. You need to change your approach and your resume for each job you apply for. I hope that helps.

With the job market here, it wouldn't matter much. I have found exactly one IT/computer job, which is something I started doing independently in high school. Around here it's either farming, trucking, factories, warehouses, or retail/food service. And when you have a bad knee and have to use the restroom whenever the urge hits (or get stuck with abdominal pains, bloating, and constipation if you don't) options are limited. Even working on cars has become difficult, and the last one I worked on involved three emergency runs to the bathroom.
I can work, I can do work, I just need one (preferable with a stable income instead of the bit of money here-and-there I've been making lately) that I physically can do.

I've actually considered going back to school to be a civil rights attorney. I have the preferred undergrad study for it (especially the philosophy), and the mountains of study is something I'm good at. And it has the Irish half of me excited at the prospects of getting paid to argue, LOL!

How about starting a business you can run from your home (close to a bathroom)?
You could sell things on ebay.

I've tried the Ebay thing a couple times, but it didn't work out too well for me. But I have considered considered buying stacks of retro consoles, such as Ataris, NES, and SNES, fixing them, and selling them for mega-profits, as well as selling modded XBoxes, Wiis, PS2 memory cards, and other devices.
I just have to learn the whole luring in traffic thing, because nothing I've done online has ever brought any.

Even though when I first went to college for computers I didn't like having to learn all this extra crap that I didn't know of before and never used--ever--to make anything programing related, and I absolutely hated the idea of computers consuming your life with an IT profession, still I wonder why, oh why didn't I stick with it. Not that it would matter much here anyways, since there aren't any IT jobs to be had, save for when I imagine the lucky SOB that has one flees the state like a bat out of hell leaving an opening for just one lucky candidate, but it's something I can say I've been doing to make money since high school before I was even legally old enough to hold a job.
I think I just need to teach myself how to make programs for Android and try to make money that way. I'll probably start simple by making apps that show where the items for games like Metroid or Zelda are.

But I've also come to really like the idea of being a civil rights attorney. Of course it couldn't be the only thing I'd do, and I would also take up the fight against the war on drugs, equality in custody cases, and some other stuff. And I can say, most sci-fi nerds and Trekkies go into science, I'd going the way to work towards the egalitarian utopia that was also a part of Gene Rodenberry's vision. I might even have a picture of First Officer William T. Riker in my office because the episode where he fell in love in a transgender female and for inviting the transgender species to his wedding left that much of an impact on me. And, of course, a picture of Gene Rodenberry whose social views were way-way-way ahead of his time.

I actually have three separate resumes. One of them to highlight my computer prowess, one to highlight my schooling, and one to highlight my manager/supervisor experience. The crappy part is though is out of all of the people I have went to for help in building a resume, each and every one of them has their own idea as to what makes a good resume.
But I can say my editing portfolio is slowly growing (not that it'll do much good here anyways), and I'm slowly starting to develop an art portfolio should I decide to tattoo for a living, though I definitely need art lessons and help with doing that stuff because even a little bit of help would go a very long ways in developing the talent that I already have. I also need to seriously get back into writing, because I can say I've had a few minor publications, and the story I'm working on now I have confidence someone is bound to publish it (I'm going to try the publishers that publish Chuck Palahniuk first, since this work is very heavily influenced by him). All I need is just a few more pieces to fall into place, work out the minor details, and then no one is going to see or hear from me for probably a month or so. A story about a guy who gives Marxist philosophy perspectives while considering himself a good Capitalist, I'm having fun just thinking about it.
Why do some people think that everyone who believes in reincarnation think they have proof they were celebrities in the past lives?
No one wants to discover that in a prior life, they were.......
- Hitler
- a janitor
- Lizzie Borden
- Fatty Arbuckle
- Benedict Arnold
- that Onan guy in the Bible
I was no doubt someone like one of those people sometime in the distant past. We're supposed to learn from our mistakes.

Actually, I don't have any idea who I was in any past life, but some idea of how I most likely died in a couple. Pretty damn sure I died from strangulation in one. Either hung (as a criminal probably) or murdered with a rope around my neck. I'm of the idea that unexplained phobias in our current life may be hold overs from how we died in a previous life. Why I'm also pretty sure my son died from drowning. He is quite hydrophobic.

I am pretty sure I was murdered by a jealous husband then, because I'm always on the lookout for them.
How you doin'?
And a bear, of course.IN a previous life I was

Through my years of studying transgenders and transsexuals, a common theme is that people in their middle ages begin to transition once they have lost some friends. Today, however, I feel rather sad in knowing that three people I went to school with have died. One accidentally died, one died in some bad circumstances, and one it was known she would die young but even knowing that I didn't even know her for a full decade. I've been told I'm too young to know the problems with arthritis and knee problems I have, but not even being 30 quite yet and still knowing some people who have died, I don't want to say I'm too young to know such things, but it does leave me with mixed emotions. A since of sorrow that I have not come even close to enjoying life and living it to the fullest as the latest acquaintance I know who has, maybe, or maybe not, traveled to that undiscovered country, a since of outrage over the one I know who has died over things that just should not be, sympathy over over the one died over an accident that can happen to anyone, and I wonder, I question, I challenge myself, what I have done with my own life? I know there is never really an age that is too young to contemplate such things, but yet nevertheless it leaves me feeling that I should be focused on any other thing than death. I know it's not logical or rational, but people who are only in their 20s discussing life, love, and making the world a better place, it just doesn't seem right to have to be making funeral arrangements for someone whose middle-age was only 14, a freshman in high school.
