PROFESSIONAL JOB RECRUITERS PLEASE CRITIQUE MY RESUME.?

We Answered:

As a hiring expert, I recommend you take out your bottom two jobs as they were pretty short and you want to look like you've had stable jobs. The first three are fine. And a few more job descriptions. 3 may be too short. Have 4-6 job descriptions.

You should rename your activities section as "Other Experience" and name your regular experience section as "Professional Experience". Take out "References Available Upon Request" because you should already have your references on hand when meeting an employer.

All of my advice is very detailed on my website so find more tips here: http://www.hireme101.com/resumetips.html… I also only charge $7 to edit resumes, so my services could be useful for you.

Good luck

i would like to go to grad school but i was turned down because of a low undergrad GPA, what should i do?

We Answered:

You have several options:

1. Get a job in the area you are interested in, and find a company that sponsors graduate programs in your area of study. Because the employer will contribute to the program, you can get into it, though it may take longer to do it part time.

2. Focus on your board test scores as a way of improving your competitiveness.

3. Work on certificates (graduate or professional) to demonstrate competence and interest in your area of endeavor. Professional certifications can be as good as a graduate degree for some job applications.

4. Get into a 'non-objective' graduate program (state university, etc.) part time and demonstrate a good grade average in high level coursework.

5. Pursue a grad program with a 'non-traditional' school...either for profit or on-line. Be sure that it is academically qualified.

6. Wait. With the economy bad, there are a LOT of applicants to go back to school. When the economy turns, this may slack off a bit and make you more competitive.

7. Go back for a second bachelors degree...and really crank the GPA.

Choosing the right degree program to land a high level English teaching job in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.?

We Answered:

Interesting question so I'll honor it with brief but honest answer(s)

1. You're a US citizen; that's a huge plus in the Dubai/UAE market. There's no anti-discrimination law in the UAE and UAE employers favor Westerners and Western credentials. As you may already know, discrimination is a fact of life. So my advice would be to obtain your Master's degree from a Western educational institution.
2. On which program to enroll in, I would say you're on the right track. Fields of expertise - whatever they may be - always find relevance in the academe. You'd fare better in and out of the classroom with a course that's not narrowly focused on teaching or TESOL.

And just for FYI purposes, you might find these pages helpful:
