resume help

[pd Rydia]

I'm attempting to locate work in which to use my Spanish, and towards that end I've made up a resume for myself. Any feedback and suggestions would be appreciated, especially from anyone else who's made a job resume before.

References needs to say available upon request. <p><Chat> <Matto says, "What's up?"
<Chat> <Prince_Herb says, "Angst."
<Chat> <Prince_Herb says, "Drama."

I think she means that she has references, but like hell she's putting them on the web. Also, it's better to actually put references on your resume than to say "Available on request."

It looks pretty damn nice. One thing I've heard quite a few times is to list any and all skills you have, irrelevant as you think they may be. From martial arts to computer proficiency, a prospective employer might see something impressive in even a "minor" accomplishment. Other than that, good luck! With a resume like that, you won't have much trouble finding a job. <p>

I know a lot of customer service type positions in call centers are willing to kill to get fluent spanish speakers <p>---------------Celeste of Elvenhame --------------- </p>
